i have just bought and 1997 ws6 trans am 6 speedall orignal with 111000 miles. the car gets 15 mgp around town. the car runs perfect the sparkplugs look good. what can i do to improve it? and what might my problem be? i ran the codes and it had 1 o2 scancer out thats it. please help

 

Do you mean it had a code for the o2 sensor? Which code is it?

 

im not sure what one it was. but its one of the ones on bank 2

 

ok we just checked it agen and that code was and old code so the car is not throwing anycodes at all.

 

Take a look at the plugs,wires,change the fuel filter,air filter

 

the car has acdelco plugs they dident look 2 bad a little carbin. but i an gonna change them sumtime this week. what ones do yall perfer for sparkplugs and wires?

 

I wouldn't say there is any problem. My 94 Z got 15mpg or less around town. I think it all depends on driving habits and where you live. A lot more traffic lights here then more open areas.. stop and go traffic.

 

I get 13-17 mpg depending on how I drive... your #s sound alright to me

 

I dont know i just went from driving and 1995 lt1 camaro (auto) with lt headers 373 gear around ton and was gettin 20 mph. i thought i was gonna get way better gas milage but i gess i was wrong.

 

20 MPH? Did you know that the in town EPA rating when it was new was only 17 mph....err mpg.

 

Yea I just topped off my tank.Said 32 miles on the trip odometer.Took in $18,but traffic is bad around here and gas is $4.65 a gallon.


need to drive a skateboard

 

Make sure all your tires are at 35 psi. Tire pressure has a lot to do with your gas mileage also.

 

Alignment can cost you a bunch too.
