bad gas milage ok,ive got a 99 trans am m6 ws6 only mods are flomaster and k&n. the car has a salvaged title so obviously its going to have issues. when i first got the car i was getting about 300 miles to a tank of gas.now im getting just over 200 mies. i scanned the pcm all my o2 sensors are are showig codes. my air pump is showing codes and it keeps blowing air pump fuses and my cats are going bad. any suggestions anyone?

ws6, if you have scan capability, post some data. Codes only tell ya part of the story. What 02 codes do you have? Theres only about 36 of them (codes, that is).As far as the air pump, you can leave that disconnected, so it doesnt blow the fuse. It'll set a code and keep the lite on, but it shouldnt effect the mileage to the extent you're describing.

FWIW i didnt meaan to "slam" him but theres nothing we can do for him..he needs to get stufffixed and then if theres a problem that is when you tune stuff out...you don't tune for bad 02's or clogged cats or bad wiring IMO

is this a DIAGNOSTICS and TUNING or just a tuning forum? anyway, as for the O2 sensors since i plan on getting headers should i go ahead and get o2 simulators or just the sensors?
