Replaced plugs, wires, and air filter.
After a 10 mile test drive, the truck is idleing at 1k rpm. The truck is running great down the road and very responsive.
I put in Autolite XP irridium's, Bosch wires, and Spectre filter.
I know the plugs are supposed to be gapped at .040 but these plugs were at .055. i was told these plug's gap could not be changed.
Upon first start, it had a very slight hesitation and then fired right up and sounded strong.
I reset the Ave. mpg meter in the DIC and on my little test drive, it bounced from 6.2 to 9.1 mpg and everywhere inbetween but never got higher on my test drive. Before the tune up i was averaging 12 mpg city.
I sent the wife to work in it this morning and she said it's running ok but brought up the fact of the higher rpm's too without even knowing about it before hand.
ideas on the rpm's and mpg's?
Thanks,
Mike D.
