Default bad gas mileage :/

okay heres the deal. i just recently bought a 93 civic hatch DX with a b20 swap.

im getting terrible gas mileage, im running on maybe 10 miles to the gallon. heres what i think it is.

i have a P75 ECU which i think has a fried chip. my MAP sensor isnt plugged in cause it makes my idle goes insane, so i have it all plugged in directly to my intake manifold, or somehting like that, ill take a look at it again.

when i gun the car, or rev it, it smells like straight up gasoline, like, more than how a V8 smells with race fuel.

any solutions, idea, inputs on how i can get that fixed??

itd be greatly appreciated, thanks.

thanks for the input, im gonna try plugging in my map sensor this weekend, i have it unplugged mainly cause when it revs, the muffler is sitting on zip ties, so it rattles all in the back, sounds like ****. im getting a stock one this weekend at the junkyard (i heard only hatch exhaust bolts right in, so i cant use the coupe or 4 door.. true or false???)


checking for vac leaks as well when i plug it in, dads truck had the same problem, so i think i know what im looking for.

ill let you guys know my progress, thanks!


B.T.W i just recently got in to tuning and working on cars, so i might be asking a few questions here and there. sorry if i become a nuisance.
