since changing the tank, ive ran a few tanks of gas through it and im averaging about 32 to the gallon. this was with a bad idle switch. that was why my check engine light was on as i believe i previously stated when i first told of this particular car. that is also about 90% highway miles from bangor to more northern parts of maine. about @ hours up and @ hours back and about 60-65 mph. does this seem right? just today i changed that idle switch and the check engine light is now out, the dumby buzzer for the keys and lights now works and the seatbelt light works. i figure it mustve been something ford or kia had in mind i guess. i dont know. but now it all works, i still have to change the plugs and put some ngk's in, and change the wires and oil too. should i change the cap and rotor while im at it too? or just leave it? it runs fine, the idle just seems low to me still. could the idle switch cause slightly poorer mileage somehow too?i just changed that switch literally 10 minutes ago and im curious if ill see much of an improvement. oh, and the temp up here has been around the 20's during the day, and closer to the single digits in the evenings when im delivering with the car.
