Hello all. I had my transmission repaired (a bolt came loose and put a hole in the trans case, gear oil all over the ground) and reinstalled a few months ago, before the repair, and it sat for about 8 months except for a weekly 2+ mile drive around the area. I was getting 340-350 miles out of a FULL tank and the range display was blank at that point. Now, out of the same FULL tank, the display says 340 miles to empty which is its normal but now I'm getting maybe 270-280 miles. Yesterday I put 4.18 gallons in a VERY low tank and the range display immediately said 90 miles to empty, 4 miles later it said 70 miles and now, 9 miles later, it says 50 miles and the gauge went from slightly above a quarter tank to a bit below a quarter tank. There's no visible fluid or residue on the ground that I've seen, no gas smell around the car, so I can't imagine, on 3 hits of acid even, WTF is going on! At the moment, the car only has 100, 035 miles on the odometer so I'm thinking about putting in a new fuel filter, strainer and, possibly, fuel pump. I'm trying like hell to avoid taking it to a stealership, cuz, STEALership. Any all comments, thoughts, suggestions, advice, prayers seances are welcome and needed!
Thanks in advance
