I was thinking that maybe we could have knocked the timing off in the engine or hit the distributor, but really have no idea.


If you find the distributor or a way to adjust the timing, you have more problems than bad gas mileage. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I can assure you that you did not bump the distributor.

If you did not do it when the alt was replaced, disconnect the battery for a while. It may help reset the computer. Other than that, start looking the usual problems. Bad fuel filter, dirty air filter ect. If that does not turn up something, then get the codes scanned and see what the computer has to say. It may be as simple as a bad O2 sensor.

Good Luck,
