How many miles are on the truck, let alone the plugs/wires/cap/rotor? Also,
when you had installed the TB, did you accidentally forget to hook up one of
the vacuum lines (or knock one off)?

Ok, first fillup after the F&B TB I got worse Gas Milage (11.875)
I drove it 50-70 miles after putting the new TB on, and Resetting the
computer before I filled up again
Last time it was 13ish
Any idea on why it keeps getting worse? I didnt drive it as hard because I
wanted to see how much of an improvement the TB was gonna make.. Shouldent
it have gotten better? Especially since I didnt get on it as much...
Would the O2 sensors go out already? Autolite Plugs?
This confuses me too, I drive about 10 miles on the interstate every day to
school.... also, since the last check I also put on an electric fan...
Any Ideas?
