Come over, lets pull the tune and see what has been done. It is usually hard to determine fuel economy by numbers however based on what you have said it does seem to be using too much. The engine should operate on closed loop control so it should deliver OK economy regardless. However they could have butched things that kill economy.

Is it still stalling?. I assume you are using bp98

Yeah mate, always run bp98 even when on standard tune ... no more stalling it had 2 hiccups when I got it back , I think it was the last of the sh*t clearing itself out.

where you located mate?

could it be a bad 02 sensor throwing the fuel off? I never considered the thermostat, how could that be linked, just curious?

Trips are long enough to get into operating temp. Where your temp sits would suggest you have a cooler thermostat. The tune should have been adjusted accordingly though. That temp would be within the warmup cycle on a stock tune for example, which means running rich. Give it time like you say to average out before taking it back

I have explained how, but if you catch up with trana I'm sure he will explain how fueling is tied to ECT amongst other things. In a nutshell if you run a cooler thermostat the tune needs to be adjusted accordingly. Or your thermostat could be buggered and opening to soon, stuck open even. In either case if thermostat is infact the issue(may not be) the tuner is responsible. Either didn't adjust tune or somehow failed to notice it was farked. Unless of course it miraculously shat itself the moment you drove out.....

If your temp sat at the usual level I wouldn't even suggest it....

My money is still on ID1000's with Deka scaling. Thermostat issue aint going to turn a car the should use 14/5ltrs per 100 into a car that uses 10+ ltrs above that.

OP just needs to get some data logs off it to work out what's going on.

+1 for incorrect injector scaling

Or

Pinched an o-ring on install?

seems weird I take it on for a retune, they suggest new injector fitment then scale it to the old injectors?

not impossible, but weird :s

City Beach. Could be a bad 02 sensor, could be thermostat. If you had Hp Tuner, you could hook it up and observe both on the data logger to see if they are where they are meant to be.

if you have the software thatd be sweet, ralph was gonna give me a hand previously but I ended up taking it to the tuner
