What should I expect from this model with approx. 82,000 miles? Recently had the valve cover gasket replaced as well as a new battery and all belts.
After repairs, the engine felt sluggish, but boost gauge goes up to the yellow/red division. Mileage is down about 50 miles/tank, mixed city and highway driving. When cruising in 5th, the EDU indicates 30mpg or slightly better, but almost nothing when accelerating. It's about 100 deg.F here now, before this started we were in the 70's and the car was running really smooth.Could some other device have failed during repairs? All advice and comments appreciated (almost $2/gallon for 92 octane in Phoenix!)
