Please I Need You Candid Solutions by ekenzzi: 2:08pm On May 21, 2015 |
Please am a port harcourt based young guy that just manage to acquire a tokunbo toyota camry 99 model. Please after my exhaust pipe got burst and was changed, I now notice that my car consumes a lot of fuel than before I worked on the exhaust. Please can anyone provide me with a positive solution to what I can do to reduce my car fuel consumption please. Thanks and God bless us all!! |

Maybe your catalyst has been removed 2 Likes |

there a lot of things responsible for high fuel consumption, and it might be a mere coincidence that it was after an exhaust job, it's 99, so i'm hopeful it can be scanned with any 16-pin, i rather you scan first 2ndly, do you notice black smoke from exhaust? have you removed thermostat and running fan directly? what's the condition of air filter? have you done general tune up - serviced nozzles, change plugs etc? it might be a map sensor or even throttle body issue or an A/F sensor plus or minus catalyst 1 Like |

Am really so pleased with you guys suggestions so far. Well as for if my catalyst have been removed that I can't tell. And each time am steaming my car in the morning, it's water that comes out of my exhaust pipe. No black carbons at all, but what I just noticed after my exhaust got cut and I took it to my mechanic. He only went under my car and I observed that he only tighten something after which the sound reduced then. So it was after then I started noticing this excess fuel consumption. So that's just my problems now, but as for if my catalyst was removed I don't really know that. And I've not removed the thermostat and even when a mechanic was telling me that I just ignored that idea because I still believe if I must do that I'll want to confirm from some of you here that has a better understanding on that. Thanks!!! |

Put your finger into the exhaust and see if theres soot. Most importantly, if your CEL is on then you need to scan the car. Theres an 02 sensor/A-F ration sensor downstream which may be bad.. SCAN the vehicle in short.. You may have a P0161 OR P0141 CODE. 1 Like |

Thanks so much guys for your candid solutions. But there are some terms I really don't understand here, like the CEL. And as for the Chucks. Gazzuzz said I should call, am going to call him, but please what's the budget if my catalyst is missing?? |

Re: Please I Need You Candid Solutions by ekenzzi: 8:11am On Aug 09, 2015 |
Thanks to all of you who by one way or the other have helped me to solve the issue of my car. Yes Tundex I've gotten the CAT below the car, I found out that they stole the content of it. And after scanning my car, I got an error code of EGR insufficient. And also Air/Fuel sensor circuit malfunction. But after fixing all these my car still consumes excess fuel. And I just went and scanned my car yesterday with these following error codes: P0105 manifold absolute pressure/barometeric pressure circuit. (2). P0401 Exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected. (3). P1133 Air-fuel sensor circuit response malfunction. Thanks! Please i'll be extremely happy if anyone can advise me on how am going to solve this issues once and for all, because am just so frustrated now. Thanks as I wai |

ekenzzi: First what's ur engine size, and describe d fuel consumption. Hw many litres do u use to cover 100kms in city or highway |
Re: Please I Need You Candid Solutions by honmusa(m): 6:37am On Dec 21, 2015 |
ekenzzi: you can't eat your cake and still have it. patronise a professional to fix this issue and get it done once and all . Is not every issue,people on this forum can accurately reproduce ,because atimes they will need to run test on the car. Pay a competent professional to run a test on your car and get it fixed. Every solution come at a price. |
Re: Please I Need You Candid Solutions by ekenzzi: 5:18am On Dec 22, 2015 |
Ogawisdom thanks so much for your concern, well the much I do know about my car is that my car is a 1999 toyota camry LE. And it's a four (4) cylinder 2.2 engine with a specification 5s. And as for how much fuel I do use @100kms, well I really can't measure that accurately. But let's take for instant from mile 2 to okokomaiko you can't make a to and fro movement on a clear road with 10 litres. If the reserve light won't pop up. @ Honmusa I've spent money on so many professionals that I really can't tell who's not remaining in yenagoa where I use to stay before relocating to port harcourt. So I still have that believe that a better professional is what I truly need to work on my car so this my car craze can be solved once and for all. |

Re: Please I Need You Candid Solutions by ogawisdom(m): 7:40am On Dec 22, 2015 |
ekenzzi: 2.2 litres engine is nt a small engine ooo, how many kilometers is the to and fro distance you described determine dt with ur odometer. D fuel consumption may b slightly higher but not over d roof like u r saying. U dnt expect d fuel economy of a 1.6l engine with a 2.2l engine. U choose power over economy when u bought 2.2l Camry against d usually 2.0l. By d way did u buy d car naija used or toks and when. Use a better scanner and run another scan, goodluck |

Abeg na help I find come no be wahala so o. Ogawisdom I don explain the one I sabi so o, and about that comparison between 1.6l and 2.2l. My brother I don't compare such difference with mine, I have friends that own same 2.2l like mine even the latest fish light camry and it doesn't consumes the way mine is. Please Chukel I've gone through your write ups is just that am presently in port harcourt but I won't mind drive to yenagoa after or before the xmas because I stay at uniport. And please where in yenagoa re you please? And many thanks to all of you here that have tried not to laugh so much at my present condition. Thanks andd merry xmas to you all. |
