same problems as hard start hot and cold + pooor gas mileage

Hello newidea2001- Sounds like your mechanic has dandruff. Buy him some shampoo and find someone else who knows what he is doing. To me it sounds like it could be the fuel filter or the fuel pump. Start with the filter. It is cheap. If that doesn't work you might need a new fuel pump (up around $150 for the part.) Good luck from Bovan.

when i said pooor mileage i meant 11 city 16 hway its got to be more serious then a fuel pump however if youve had similar problems email me, I can shoot in the dark as well as anyone.
