only getting 320Km to a tank of gas

Hi guys, I've posted before regarding this issue. 2007 model. has a factory Mazda speed cold air intake all the way to the bumper. I was fowling plugs and burning out coils because it was dumping fuel. only getting 280KM per tank. I found a Mazda dealer that got a new motor and new Cat for $2000. Once installed i got 320km per tank. Any idea what is causing this? ECU, sensors ...? thanks Robb

Welcome.

Post does not say if you got new plugs / wires / coils. I would start there. Then check the mods in the congrats thread below for ESS clean, MAF clean and a few other things.

FYI though, from what I understand, the replacement motor will take a bit to wear in. Not sure the expected time, but several hundred miles comes to mind. Take it easy and let the seals seat.
