[V8] MPG - Final Chapter for now!

[Andrew Schlueter]

Agreed!! Seriously, these engines are like diesel motors, they just need
to be beat on here and there, then everywhere. My v8 gets acting up if
she sits without being driven everyday. Daily sprint to class on
highway, then relax on my way to work, on the back roads.

Jason-  this might be done and done, as far as thoughts go, but since
I'm not familiar with your driving style, I'll lob this out there --
have you tried driving the snot out of the car for repeated 20 mile
highway blasts??  Curiously, I've solved more problems than created by
doing this. I'm talking repeated blasts to 120 plus for 5 or miles at a
time, bumping off the (audi engineered, Helmut Von Streudelnoggin
approved) rev limiter and the occasional hard throttle lift even thrown
in the mix.

As for the standard disclaimer in case mine ever goes up for sale (can't
bear to imagine that circumstance), I don't make a habit of it, but
damned if that doesn't bring 'im right back.  So far that little bit of
therapy has done more for my rich condition than any number of other
things.  Flat out cured my surging back when it was a 3.6 motor, too.  

And it beats R&R'ing distributors.

PS:  does withheld have one h or two?

I have just about gotten sick of this thing.  My compression is normal
now, o2 code is gone - MPG still sucks - I have tested every sensor,
system, and changed alot of parts - the car runs great so I am just
going
to drive it like that for awhile - It will really bug me but I don't
know
what else to do.  Thanks for all the help.
