Another problem
First I would like to thank everyone for the help on my overheating.. It was the water pump.
2000 Honda Civic SI 70,000 miles
This time it is MPG. To fix the overheating problem I ended up replacing the thermostat, water pump, timing belt, and serpentine belt. And now I lost about 7 mpg. Cold air intake filter is clean. Only thing is, is that when I got the car back, after a few days I checked the oil and was able to add 2 quarts, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.. I am thinking about changing the spark plugs. They haven't been changed since I got the car with about 50,000 or 55,000 miles. I also started running reg gas and not premium about 6 months ago. I guess that could cause more buildup on the spark plugs? Thanks once again.
