Glen,

You are a wealth of knowledge, it's great. I appreciate it!

What's the EGR? Is that the computer module? At any rate, I don't have a check engine light on.

It could be a clogged catalytic converter. I don't know how to check that though. Any help? As far as the intake goes, I replaced the air filter a year ago and just looked at it again and inside the air line as far as I could and everything looks good and clean.

The coasting thing in "neutral" seems to be the same to me. I haven't noticed any new or different engine sounds, although it does idel a little rough at times (but not bad) in park which I assume is timing and throttle.

The dribbling injector could maybe be an issue. Once again, don't know how to check that. I guess I would say the exhaust doesn't have a fuel smell that I can tell. It can just have a strong "exhaust" smell especially in the cold mornings (Michigan).

Like I said, 6-7 months ago I was getting 26 MPG now below 20 MPG, so it seems it was somewhat sudden as opposed to gradual.

Thanks again Glen!
