Effect of Calculated Load Value on fuel consumption

    hi,

    Fuel consumption of my elantra is very high.
    When i checked the injector pulse width with an oscilloscope, it shows
    values around 4 - 6.5 ms when engine is idle. Since these values are
    too high, i did a scan of the engine parameters while its is idling. I
    did a similar scan for a different elantra car as well.
    When these values were compared, all parameter values had similar
    values except the Calculate Load Value (CLV), which is 4-6% in my car
    and around 45-55% for the other car. (this other car does not have any
    problem).
    What would cause CLV to drop this much?
    Could this difference explain the high fuel consumption?

    thanks

    Less load equals less fuel-- so lower load values won't cause
    excessive fuel consumption.

    Additionally, 50% load idling in neutral or park is way too high. The
    other car has the problem with this value, not yours.
