High Fuel Consumption In Car-help Needed by NJN: 7:54am On May 23, 2012 |
I use a Honda Accord (2000/2001) model. The car consumes fuel like water. The mechanics don't seem to know what to do as they keep suggesting different things everyday. I'm based in kaduna and would like an advise on what to do to get this fixed. I really need to. ( I buy full tank every week, just for inside town movement, basically from home to work and weekend run-arounds.) Thank you. |

Is there any light showing up on the dash board? go and get the car scanned for any OBD -11 troble code..A lot of things could cause this problem... |

yes...on starting, the engine, battery and engine oil light all come up b4 full ignition. once engine comes up, only the side airbag light comes up. i hope to do the scan thing but can't seem to get any workshop here in kad. i've decided to get that done in abuja. |

Follow this thread, you may be lucky to have similar issues and not require extensive search after doing the scan.https://www.nairaland.com/937564/help-car-consuming-too-much |

thanks nnamdi and gulfer...actually the latest thing the mechanic suggested had to do with the nozzle and silencer...just don't want anymore guess work by them. so, i guess i'll just have the scan done, and work on the nozzle... more advise would be appreciated... |

NJN: thanks nnamdi and gulfer...actually the latest thing the mechanic suggested had to do with the nozzle and silencer...just don't want anymore guess work by them.I call your monicker NJN(In Jesus Name), i beg that you scan the vehicle first before you do any work especially as prescribed by guess work artists-mechanic. |

You did not specify if your Honda is a V6 engined model which can be quite thirsty on fuel especially if you do a lot of harsh accelerations while cruising or from standstill. Anyway, most of the problems weve solved regarding high fuel consumptions (especially with cars imported from the U.S) is caused by the 02 sensor/s which get corrupted due to the various grades and quality of fuel that we use here in Nigeria. I would recommend that you change yours with a BRAND NEW one. Do not go for a second hand as it may also be faulty. I would also suggest that you carry out a proper scan with live data stream check on your fuel trim percentage as well as checking your o2 sensors. A defective o2 sensor could drastically alter the fuel trim of your car engine and although you may not notice any operational problems, it may cause your car to be guzzling fuel like mad. |
