Fuel Range not working - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Johnny5 · 02-19-2015

Hey so idk if the injectors have anything to do with this (my injectors were never changed and most likely need to be). So i received my car with very little gas and the range said 10miles. So i put seafoam in the fuel tank and filled it up and now it says 50 miles to empty. Kinda weird. Did anyone else have this problem or have knowledge? Other than this and the secondaries not opening the car runs great.

you may need to clear to mpg stats. If you were averaging 9 mpg or something low than maybe it is estimating a very short range even w more gas in it. Also, I suppose if the float on the gas tank wasn't showing full, then it can't accurately estimate a starting point of fuel remaining.

It's possible, as I only drove it around the block to fill it and pull it back in the garage but i did reset the trip and fuel avg. It may correct itself the next time I drive, I just thought my 94 would say 400 miles than auto correct as the avg mpg change.
