Made it home in 11.5 hours.
Car was running super lean in PA. I got 34.6 MPG from Lansing to Verona, PA, then From Verona, PA to Langhorne, PA (had to take Adam home first) I got 41.2 MPG!!!
Of course I was running about 16.5 on the WB the entire way home
Well I can still say, eff you mr Hybrid! My V6 did the same as a Pruis was doing in 2003

That's crazy, Ken.
I thought I did well averaging about 32.5MPG.
Let me know if those table changes help at all. Don't want you melting a piston from running too lean.

Add vs RPM was all at zero. That is the only thing I changed. Now that table mirrors Matt's
I'm going to download it into the car on Wednesday and see what happens, the car is sitting until then anyway

Can you screenshot that table? I don't believe anything like that is decoded for my engine.

Yeah so my car is like night and day now.
My fuel leak and vacuum leak must've started before I left, which is why the car was acting so sluggish and not shifting properly. Now it's responsive as hell and way faster. Damn. Wish I had it like this at ASS.
I'm tempted to throw on the slicks and go to the track next Wednesday and get my low 12/high 11 slip finally. I guarantee it will hit around there.

I'll probably wait until I get the 5-speed and learn to race it or fly spyhunter up here to race it haha. My auto trans slips under load and I expect it to blow up when I launch with slicks. I drove 3 people around today weighing the car down and the trans stuttered sometimes even on slow takeoffs.

That's what I ment. Is that okay to drive 400 plus miles with greese spraying out of it? Cuz I won't be going back home till Friday.

No, I wouldn't. You can buy a split boot to replace it. Some say they aren't as good, but I used one on my GP for over 2 years until I got rid of it.

If I have it under warranty should I just take a chance ? Or will it break apart when I am driving it?

I don't think It's a good idea at all, unless you can find a way to keep it greased the whole time. I guess really it depends on how big the tear is, how much you're losing and how fast It's coming out.
I don't know if someone would warranty something like that, most likely something caught it while driving and ripped it.
For around $15 you can get the repair boot, not too shabby imo.

Take a needle greaser, slip it under one of the band to get some geese in there. Should help out since you lose some once in a while.

I had some globs on my tie rod end, caliper, and steering knuckle. I have been listing out side my window and I don't hear it clicking or whatever it does when I turn. I do seem to find some every time I drive it goes on my rims only a small amount, cuz I've been cleaning them everytime I get back where I'm staying.
