Hey guys, starting the process of minting the 92 Olds Custom Cruiser (5.0 TBI). Im noticing the following things:
Not sure if any or all of these are inter-related. Does anyone have experience overhauling one of these 5.0L engines and getting them up to daily driving snuff?
- When I first start the car, my idle speed fluctuates slightly.. Tach is sort of bouncing. Smooths out after a moment. Is this indicating it needs an IAC?
- Just changed the plugs and wires and noticed the plugs were carbon fouled
- Car is averaging 17.6 MPGs, slightly lower than I would expect given that I drive mainly highway. Thoughts on improving this? I plan to change the O2 sensor next.
