yes it consume fuel, since that is what it runs on. but if you meant consume too much fuel, I don't think so, it fuel consumption are within toyota estimation or not too far off. you should be able to get about 27 to 32mpg on highway drive.

Hello Everyone.
I drive a mitsubishi attrage which I use for daily commute. For some months now, I have been experiencing Engine oil shortage. After servicing the car, the oil almost dries up within a month. There is little or no smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. Haven't noticed oil leakage either. Scanned with OBD tool and couldn't find any codes either.

Other symptom includes
1. Car shakes when on reverse gear
2. Drags during initial acceleration.
3. Consumes a bit more fuel than it should.

Please can someone assist me.
Thanks

That little smoke is enough to cause your oil to drop low.
The vibration and drag might be unrelated. You'll need physical diagnosis for that. If in Lagos, kindly contact 07089030689 for further diagnosis.

And thank you very much

I'm in Akwa-Ibom State Sir but I don't think it matters. I can pay waybill as long as I get exactly what I want. I don't want any mistake. The Luvinhubbi dude put V6 brake-pads for me despite emphasizing to him my car is I4

Car is 2007 Honda Accord Inspire 2.0L JDM model

Air Filter
Steering Rack (complete set of new)
Airhose (duct between air-filter house & engine air intake)
1quart/lt original ATF-DW1

Meanwhile, I noticed my airhose is not same like most 2007 (Discussion Continue) Honda Accord I see. They usually have their 2 connections closely on the side on one end, whereas on mine, the connections are on opposing side.
One is close to the MAF while the other is on the far end

On load, your car idles very roughly and switch off. Get it scanned. It could be bad coil, worn out plugs, dirts on nozzle/injector, bad fuel pump, slow switch needing replacement, etc

Good day, I'm having issues with my car battery
I have used the battery for 3yrars without any problems, just last week I noticed that my battery usually run down anytime I park it for about 8hrs and above.
Now what I usually do is to remove the battery head when ever I park it, just recently I noticed it runs down too even after removing the battery head for long.

What could be the problem:
- not charging very well?
- something drains the battery in the car or ?
- the battery not good again?

Pls I need your reply, it has been frustrating me since last weak

Is your battery supposed to serve you for a decade? No be only 5 years warranty why not 50 years? when the cells are old and dead the battery behaves just like that, this is elementary science taught in primary schools.

from experience, it is either one of these:
bad fuel pump
bad spark plugs/ ignition coil.

my bet is on the fuel pump. It is likely failing. let your mechanic check the pressure of your fuel pump. It has happened to me just as you described.

That does not sound like fuel pump issue. A failing fuel pump will give issues when higher pressure is needed, that is at high speeds or when accelerating. This will manifest as loss of power.
OP never complained about any issues at high speeds or while accelerating.

Check your idle control system, esp if your car is cable driven.

I am not a mechanic neither am I "mech" savy. I am just saying from my experience which is 100%

A failing or bad fuel pump will stall or shut down an engine when in a traffic jam or while Ac is turned on during idling .
Those were the two thing that happened that got me changing fuel pumps. I bought these news pumps three times before I finally opted to buy buy "Tokunbo" complete fuel pump assembly. Bad fuel pump will stall your car in a traffic jam, I thought we all know about this because whenever mine happens, drivers would pass by and tell me to go change fuel pump

You would struggle to climb upward slope of a bridge.
You might also be struggling to go past some certain high speed. You will be pressing the pedal but your speedometer guage would remain the same except you brake a while and pedal hard.
