93 Jeep 2.5, trying to determine why the mileage is so crappy??
Hey guys,
New to the Cherokee Forum, if anyone is really bored and wouldn't mind answering some questions it would really help me to keep my Jeep!
So I have a stock 93 XJ with 4 cylinder, and the gas mileage has really dropped off. I baby it everywhere and get barely 15 per gallon. Maybe this is normal for 200,000 miles but it seems pretty low.
So far I've replaced exhaust system, spark plugs, and most recently oxygen sensor. It does also seem to be pretty gutless (or less power than a year ago when i purchased it). It doesn't leak any oil or seem to burn it either. From reading on the forum, I was suspecting it might also be the MAP sensor or the fuel injectors that could be causing this?
Any thoughts? Not sure what to expect for mileage for this thing but 15 seems pretty low for one guy cruising around at slow speeds.
Thanks very much for your time and input!
