Default fuel consumption
hey guys its time to take some serious action, with my fuel comsumption increasing to ridiculas levels i need to fix it, where do i start? i replaced the air filter already and now i am looking towards anything else, what sensors should i do and where is the cheapest place too get em, i have a 97 XJ classic, once i have this done the missus says i can get more toys and that equals bigger lift and snorkel and muddies again. thanks

p.s. i now get about 250 km out of a full tank

na the ferrari mech did it on a special computer which plugs into the plug under the dash.. that computer runs on a program like a desktop computer.. the local mech which did it the second time only had a little handheld job which could only see numbers and stuff.
