Exclamation 99 Honda accord

My 99 Honda Accord typically gets 350+ miles to the tank but recently it's been getting 250 or less to a tank. The check engine light is not on and car is running the same as it did before the the problem. This started about 1 week ago. Any ideas what could be the problem??

Re: 99 Honda accord

This sounds like what happens when the ecu comes unplugged. If the computer loses communication with the engine it sort of assumes worst case scenario and tells the fuel system to feed more fuel into the engine than necessary. The engine will run fine in this situation, but it will burn more fuel.
What you'll have to do is get the code off the computer to point you in the right direction. It's pretty easy, it just involves plugging in a code reader and finding out what's acting up, or if the ecu is just unplugged altogether. Some shops will actually plug in and check your ecu for free.
