99 GMC Jimmy fuel economy

drewcarr1

I have a 99' GMC JIMMY with 150,000 mile. The milage has been crappy lately.I could drive about 5 miles and i can see a difference in the fuel guage. I had the dealership do the fuel injector service,I also had another mechanic change the o2 sensors since he said that would help the mileage.Is there any other part i can change to help my mileage. I know suv's burn more gas but i dont think i should be seeing a significant drop in my guage when i have only driven about 5 miles or so.

Mine didn't end up being fuel pressure reg leaking, it ended up being the intake manifold gasket. It is finally up and running no check engine lights or anything!! Thanks for your post though.

My Jimmy has 153,000 miles on it. Lately it wont start. It will rollover but not fire up. After it rolls over, I turn off the key and it sounds like compression coming out of the air filter for a few seconds, and there is some smoke coming from the air filter? I kill the battery trying to start it? I have to jump it to get it to start. When it does start up there’s lots of black some coming from the tail pipe they last for about 5 seconds? Any ideas what could be going on?
