Just installed Corksport SRI on M2 & now I have a funny fuel reading is this normal?

Hi guys,

I just installed Cork Sport Short Ram intake for Mazda 2 after i installed it, I went for a drive to put petrol as I was low.
After putting petrol I noticed on the dash its says 950kms remaining... usually it says around 550kms remaining and I only ever get around 400kms to a full tank.

Anyone know what this could be? or is that normal as I disconnected the battery to reset the ecu?


Any help would be great..

Cheers.

Hmm I don't have that in my car so that didn't happen to me. I mean you are to get better gas mileage with it so a bit of an improvement is to be expected but that is a really huge jump...aside from the fact that the 2 doesn't get that much kms/mpg no matter how "good on gas you are".
Wish I could provide some actual help but I don't have the trip computer. Although I can say my car did not improve THAT much when I put on my SRI.
Did you try maybe disconnecting the battery again?

I didn't have this issue but my Active MPG's readout would get stuck on a certain number. I found that pushing the MODE buttun on the steering wheel and cycling through all the readouts on the trip computer would fix this problem. I usually have that issue in 1 out of every 20 starts.

For your issue try cycling through the readouts. If the problem pursists then disconnect the negative battery cable and wait 5min before reconnecting it. This will reset the ECU.

I know some people have had issues with the oxygen sensor, but I have no idea if the two systems are related at all.

Because you did a full reset, the average consumption was also reset,thus, until your average consumption reading go back to normal you will see some high numbers about the remaining kms.

This seems to make sense. Since your average fuel consumption will be 0, but your gas tank will be only partly full, it will think that you've been pulling off some insane hypermiling, and overestimate your remaining kms.

It should return to normal after driving it for a while. Like AN7 said the battery reset is making it re-learn.
