update on vforce module

I have been driving these past couple of days with my vforce thing on...so I'm realizing it is making a slight difference in the acceleration but its making a HUGE difference in the amount of gas my car is eating. I usually get 350 to a tank. This week I have about 150 miles and the gas needle is on 1/4 full. I just got my throttle body cleaned and put fuel injector cleaner in it...SO I'm wondering if this is all of the power control modules fault because shouldn't TB cleaning and fuel injector cleaning IMPROVE my gas mileage? Is there anything in the throttle body that could have got ruined when it was cleaned?

Dumb question, I know. But thanks anyway guys!

did you change your driving style, are you stomping on the pedal now due to better acceleration

I didn't change my driving style, theres not much room to go anywhere with all of the heavy traffic. It could be the injector cleaner it does seem that maybe that could have caused it also. I'm filling up my tank again soon so I'll keep you guys posted Thanks so much!

you should have you're car dynoed with a wide band 02 sensor to see where your a/f is at. If you are burning that much gas, you may be running mega rich and have to get that checked out.
