Who can figure this out?
Who ever can figure this out gets a cookie.
I already know the answer.
This is with my truck.
1997 DI with 198,000 miles.
Poor MPG, while cruising on the highway it feels like you are heading into a strong headwind.
When coming off the expressway it wants to stall, rpm's drop down to below 500, then they come back up and it idles fast, ~1000 rpm or so.
After parking it and shutting it off it smells really hot.
Driving 15 miles to work it uses 1/4 tank of gas.
No check engine light, no pending codes.
All tires are at 40 psi.
Good plugs and wires.
Good air filter.
Who wants to take a stab at the answer?
If no one can figure it out by the time I get home from work tomorrow I will post the answer.
Have at it guys.

WTH... can I just name every park of the truck?
Uses alot of gas and feels like your driving into a headwind I'm guessing because it's not a consistent load it sounds like fan clutch, or it's not getting enough fuel via pump or filter. But when the Rpms drop then shoot up? Sounds fuel/air/computer related.
Then it smells really hot.. You obviously put that in there for a reason..

The very first time my wife drove my truck she drove with the parking brake on, for about 2 miles to meet a friend for lunch.
"Why is the truck so hard to move? I mean I have to floor it to make it go"
Me-"The parking brake is on"
Her-"Is that what that red BRAKE light means?"
Come on guys, use your noodle.
It was a $30 and 5 min repair.

I thought for sure Cosmic or AntiChrist would have it figured out by now.
I may have to give you guys the answer tonight so you dont all hate me more than you already do.

how do I claim my cookie?
I bet it is that new roof rack of yours!
How sad... I'm actually making myself laugh over here...
I hesitate to think it is a ECM related issue as you would get a code or instrument reading, i.e. - O2's would sense over-rich mix, temp sender could over mix but would show in temp gauge.
Really thought the e-brake was a good candidate....Love the wife / brake story!
