My New Honda Accord 2003 Is A Guzzler! by Totfulguy: 11:47pm On Nov 14, 2014
I recently bought a Honda Accord 2003 (I mean in the last 3 weeks). Its a 4 cylinder (or so I think) and has a 2.4 liter engine. I have noticed that the fuel consumption is very high. I fill my tank on Sunday Evening, drive to work from Alapere where I stay to the Island and by Wednesday the tank is empty.
Can someone please advise on what I should do? And can someone suggest a very good Honda Mechanic. The performance of the car is superb, but the fuel consumption is astronomical.

For a 2.4 liter engine your car is definitely a V6

he doesn't even know what he drives! I think there is 2.4 4 cylinder. is this your first car? How many miles /km do cover a day? How many km per litre do you get? How is the traffic like?

1.You will have to start from the Check engine light by scanning the car and fixing associated sensors or parts.

2. Remove air filter and blow out dust or replace entire.

3. Remove, inspect, clean, regap or replace all spark plugs.

4. I really dont know what to tell you about the last one but something needs to be done on your injectors.

It should be better by the time you go through the list.

@ "op" if you have your check light on. Go for a scan. Am sure you should have an airfuel ratio sensor code

Thank you guys for all your inputs... I will follow up on the advice given. But can someone please email me a reliable Honda mechanic that I can trust to do the scan and all the step suggested by adanny?

@adanny01: Can you suggest a good mechanic I can contact or do you do it yourself? Please contact me.

Thanks all!

Please stop saying what you don't know. Honda 2.4l engine is an I4.

Scan your car first.

And don't go to any mechanic yet. They will perform all manner of surgery on that car of yours. The fuel consumption you are talking about is vague. You will need to provide us the exact miles or kilometers you cover and how many litres of fuel you bought. We cannot deduce that from the full tank and journey description you gave to us. Also tell us if your car is an auto or manual. And scan the car like has been suggested. Post the codes here when you are done.

Most of us are just lazy. The same internet u use to post this 'perceived' problem could be used to get alot of info about ur car including its fuel consumption. Most respondents here keep updating their knowledge. Your car may not necessarily running rich if your former car was a sunny 1.6 litre without A/c. If u have CEL scan ur car. Good luck

Bros don't bother tampering with the car system because mechanics will chop you money.

Just sell it on OLX grin
