Re: Burning too much gas

Did they reprogram the PCM?
The reprogram retards the timing to correct pinging....caused by carbon buildup in the cylinders.....the carbon buildup being caused by the oil entering the intake maifold.
Retarding the timing would cause a decrease in fuel economy....but I do not know how much.
