Road Trips.
88HF,
Yeah, I have made one long road trip (~258mi round trip) recently. I had to drive From Lemoore CA to the grapevine and back. I got 54 mpg there and about 57 back. I still have the busted IACV but I was able to trick the car into going in lean burn mode. @ 65 mph I cruise at ~ 2000RPM. If the IACV was fixed, then the car would get much better mpg since it is still struggling to breath at such a now rpm. When driving in never go over ~34% throttle and honestly i am cruising at a little over 7.
I went to the junk yard to pull an IACV from an Accord or Integra but they were all automatics so that did not help me. Autozone wants 172USD for a new one. Trying to find a working one on the cheap. The one from my HF engine is the plunger type (not floating valve) so it also does not register with the ECU correctly.
