I though there was something going on with it because it has been using more and more gas. Is that a symptom with the 160? Thanks.
Any time a sensor or vcm is not working right it can cause it to burn more gas.
A bad 02 sensor or wiring can cause full rich running.
Check it and wiring to it out and go from there and recheck after driving check camshaft retard seting and for code.
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
