Default new main relay= better idling/mileage??

Yes I FINALLY got around and replaced the main relay in my Accord. after doing this, it's idling more smoothly and it appears my mpg has went up slightly. is this common? or am I just imagining it.

No, it's just your imagination. We all at times feel better about a repair to the old car, and perceive numerous marvelous improvements from our efforts. For similar reason those who buy a "super turbinator" gas mileage improver and immediately get wonderful results; self delusion. It's part of being human.

good luck

lmao like the tornado, anyone rember those you put them in your intake and they are suppose to spin the air just right and give u more power, the only thing is it happens at only one rpm, like 4987, not through a range of rpm
