Default Fuel Economy Unusual on d16z6
Hi guys, I have a 93 Del Sol d16z6 with just under 150,000 kilometers. I currently cannot get 400 km's out of a single tank even if I drive it gently for the entirety of a fuel tank. It seems to be burning really rich because when its idling the exhaust smells strong. Any ideas? Thanks

No check engine light on. Do I have to take off my valve cover to adjust my timing... A mechanic told me this

Nope, though if the valves haven't been adjusted in a long time you may wanna do that under there too.
