Re: terrible fuel mileage
goosejay I just picked up some vacuum lines as well as fittings to replace tomorrow. I couldn't change the o2 sensor that was tough for me as I didn't have tools. I think because of the new fuel filter the engine is running rich so I am going to get that o2 changed asap (probably with timing). Cleaned IACV yesterday.

I just picked up a '95 EX coupe and it gets horrible gas mileage. I switched the cap,rotor, and fuel filter today, and I noticed a faint fuel leak from the top hose. Don't know if it was there before. It's just small enough to keep the brass fitting shiny. The gas evaporates before it can pool up and drip. I'm wondering if this was my problem all along. Zac

Reason I asked is that I actually have the socket and would be happy to lend it to him since we live in the same area I think, an inexperienced mechanic with a regular wrench is pretty much guaranteed to strip it haha

*cough cough* wouldnt know never tried it with a wrench *looks around wide eyed*. I just didnt have the socket lol. I have slipped the close end on a wrench over the plug in onto it and taken them off like that before, but if you have got the right socket....its probably a bit better to use lol.
