My 2000 v6 mustang with 57k miles gets about 13 mpg in the winter and 23 in the summer,,, what the heck could cause this? I'm in michigan, so these two seasons give a big temp change...
also, in the warmer months somthing in my engine bay, knocks, and my right turn signal stops working. I don't think its spark nock, but I think somthing is loose under the hood and is banging against the block or somthing. When its winter again, no engine noise, and blinker works like a charm. as SOOON as it hits about 50 degrees out, both of these things start to occur again.... im boggled.
for the engine knock it happens around 1500-2200 rpm, any gear. and I have to be giving it throttle to get the noise to start. when coasting at those rpm's it doesnt occur.
as for the blinker problem, only the right blinker.... it either takes it a LONG time to actually start blinking (3 minutes after clicking it on) then a 'ERRR' electrical noise
thanks!
