shift light does Not KEEP you in lean burn. it just lets you know at that throttle position the motor will go into L/B and to up shift for better mpg. |
It's not a throttle position indicator! Lean burn is the best fuel economy. How can you "shift for better mpg" AND maintain the "L/B throttle position"? I always release the throttle when shifting gears, if you don't then you're pouring fuel into a idling engine killing your fuel economy.
The UPSHIFT light is telling you to up shift to maintain best fuel economy, if you don't up shift when the light comes on, you lose efficiency.

NO it wont leave 12v mode. as long as you maintain throttle position. it does NOT mean your leaving 12v and going to 16v. |
Kind of. If you keep accelerating, passed 2500 rpm, and you don't up shift you'll go into 16 valve operation. If you keep the UPSHIFT light on by not accelerating, well, you'll never go any faster.

Apple to oranges; "lean burn" to A/C on/off.

if you cant tell or feel when L/B engages then maybe yours isnt engaging? i get 55 mpg. do you? i am trying to show an analogy that it feels similar. if you dont feel when your L/B engages then its not and your not getting 55mpgs+ |
WRONG, again. Dude, you don't know what you're talking about. You're guessing and trying to pass it off as fact.
Find your Owner's manual, here's what it'll tell you about the UPSHIFT LIGHT (because that's what it is, not a throttle position indicator!) Where do you come up with this stuff???
The UPSHIFT LIGHT indicates when it's time to, hold on, UP SHIFT! You're not supposed to maintain the light on, you're supposed to shift into a higher gear for best FUEL ECONOMY which is NOT achieved using all 16 valves. How you're getting "+55mpg" with the way you think/operate your car is beyond me.
I'm done with you until you provide source and fact for your "information". You are just making stuff up and I'm going to assume you're a TROLL. Enjoy.
