Have you ever figured out why the NRCan rating is so much higher? Do they post they're testing methods anywhere? Their website is a mess - I can't find a thing on it.
Had some problems with the MID yesterday during the commute so I can't say much other than it seems close to what I got before. The VSS connection was intermittant so while I was recording fuel used, the distance was only maybe 1/4 if what I actually travelled and I did other errands so I cant say for sure what it what. The other prob is that sometimes the car won't bump start. The engine will turn but seems like no fuel. I crank away and nothing. Then shut down for 15 sec or so then restart and everything wirks fine. Can anybody tell me whats up with that? Fuel pump or pump relay? I'm very reluctant to codfish with this possible result. I will have to suck up the lower FE until I get this figured out.
Sounds like main relay!!! I have this problem also and matt is scouting a main relay from his junkyard for me. It prevents the fuel pump from priming, though I've only had it happen once while EOC, mostly just on start up (code 16!!!).
Anyway, that's what it sounds like to me, Ithought mine had goneout completely yesterday but after 15 minutes of bump starting to nowhere (and lots of sweating and looking like a fool) I realized I had no ecu in the car,
Kind of a lame article, huh? What's with the sudden VW expose stuck in the middle of it??? I thought that "extra-fuel" anecdote was pretty stupid.
However, according to the testing procedure it looks like the cars are tested at lower highway speeds than the EPA tests and this could have contributed to the Swift-clones 66 mpg Imperial numbers...???

Well Matt, I you find another main fuel relay, pick one up for me too. And while you are at the bone yard, I need a hood latch, a lug wrench and the rod with hooked end that goes between the lug wrench and the jack.

Maybe im reading that wrong, but the main relay is supposed to prevent the fuel pump from priming?
