My Camry Consumes Fuel by Afolabisemiu: 3:35pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
Good afternoon, please can anybody assist me here. I have a ToyotaCamry 1999. I observed since over five months i have bought it that it consumes a lot of fuel. Inititally I was comparing the fuel consuming rate to the informatiion I haeard about camry on its fuel economy. However I was able to substantiate that it consumes more fuel when me and my brother travel to Ibadan. We both allow our gas to reach red at fuel guage and we make sure the guage is at the same place. We bought exactly N3000 fuel in each car. Alas! when we reached Ibadan from Lagos My own fuel guage is already giving me red while that of my brother remain about 2/3 of what we bought bough. I have changed the plug and the airflow meter is good. The car is not smoking and it doesnt give any sound that signifies the exhaust is faulty. But at time When I warm it in the morning I percieved a mild foul smell from the exhaust but with no black smoke. In fact it drops water and this cold engine white smoke. I also feel tht whenever I fire is when the fuel goes down and few times when i accelerate the level of fire is more than the real movement of thje car |

Afolabisemiu:Your car is running on perpetual open loop condition to have such a poor fuel mileage. And the condition that can triggers this are 1.if the engine fail to attain the optimum temperature (95 c for toyota ) due to inherent fault or Kazeem action . 2.Faulty upstream o2 sensor that is stuck lean . 3.Intake leak and exhaust leak 4.Stuck open injectors and stuck close fuel regulator. Etc etc If you are in Lagos and u require a expert to resolve this for u with 100% accuracy .call autologic @08061166316 |

Afolabisemiu: You left lots of important information Eg engine size of the cars you compared, then load i.e if you had passengers , also average travelling speed all affects fuel consumption, then lastly driving patterns and condition of the car things like service 4 Likes |
Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by Afolabisemiu: 6:56am On Nov 26, 2016 |
@ZIMDRILL, thanks a lot for your concern. the two cars a same, they are both Camry tinylight. with same engine apacity. with same tyre sizes. we didn't even take any passenger. its not about engine capacity and load. its just about my own car is extremely comsuming fuel. I believe even if I load my own car with people that doesn't meqn the rate of consumption should be that wide when compare with my brother's car. |

deportivo I'm sorry about that. as for the fan, both fans are directly connected. they start working immediately I start the. engine. Honestly I kn9w about the issue of direct fans and it implication on fuel supply. but I still chose to partially disregard it. this is because initially I wholeheartedly believed this theory. but because I jave a very close person that uses camry like mine, he uses his car with the two fans directly connected and he never experience this high fuel consumption, thouhh I can't say whether his car is working at optimum. one thing I forgot to add to my postnwas that I usually perceived fuel odour while driving I never see any drop of fuel on. from the car but I do experience it especially when I fire and when I park the car in hot weather 1 Like |

Afolabisemiu: Bros check your catalyst, it must have been stolen.That's the no. 1 reason for abnormal fuel consumption. Check it out and thank me later. 2 Likes |
Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by Afolabisemiu: 5:13pm On Dec 01, 2016 |
@gbengageorge pls where is the catalyst located, I was told they are two. how do I detect if it has been removed |
Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by baaliyah(m): 7:58pm On Dec 01, 2016 |
Afolabisemiu: The simplest thing to do is to fix ur fans, then observe the consumption. Start diagnosis from simple to complex. i am sure ur Kazeem wont charge more than what he charged u when he removed the thermo and destroyed ur fan wiring. |
Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by Afolabisemiu: 8:22pm On Dec 01, 2016 |
@gbenga and ballyah though the car is consuming fuel and i usually percieved fuel odour while driving but i never witnessed any fuel drop under my car. But today while browsing i came across what is called EGR P0401, and I observed that this EGR of a thing is never is my car. I can adeuquately say both the EGR valve and vacuum Modulator are never in my car. But i remeber a day that I observed this missing part while I was with my Mechanic, because I saw that about three other Camry I saw there, they all have thses two devices I mentioned. When Iasked my Mechanic heonly told me that, that is the way my own is built. But I never see any single Toyota Camry 1999 like mine that doesnt have. My question now is is1. are there those 1999 toyota camry cars that dont have this EGRvalve and Vcuum modulator and 2. Could it be that the missing of thses two devices are some of the cause of my car highly fuel consumptiom? Please make you una help me o. I can no more drive my car to long distance bacause I see that if care is not taken I will end up using my lat kobo to fuel my car. I have attached the two devices i am talking about in this post |

A lot of things contributes to excessive fuel consumption, part of which your driving habits is part of them. Driving with a poor tyre conditions, excessive speeds, aggressive driving habits. Vehicle overweight, aerodynamic drag and seized brake cylinders.

Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by Gbengageorge: 12:18pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
Afolabisemiu: It's located in-between the engine and the exhaust pipe, i.e where they are connected. My brother did not know it was removed from his Honda Pilot until I drove it one day and discovered that it was consuming a lot of fuel, when he consulted his mechanic, he bought another one and since then his expenses on fuel has reduced. He confirmed it to me. It was stolen at his mechanic workshop when he left it over night for repairs, and he replaced it with 70k. check with your car mechanic, I doubt if there is any car that does not have it, especially theses recent models. |

Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by klipse: 9:36pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
Afolabisemiu: I have the exact same problem, the mech connected the fan directly and i also percieve fuel odor and it also drinks more fuel when I drive at high speeds! Exactly the same. |
Re: My Camry Consumes Fuel by Highjayboy: 12:02am On Jan 06, 2020 |

Highjayboy:I don't think catalyst converter has any thing to do with fuel consumption, it's not part of the fuel system ,use your themostat, connect your fan to factory settings , clean or change your filters check your o2 sensor, Wash tank and fuel filter don't run tank dry , use injectors cleaners 100 miles before changing engine oil, change plugs at recommended intervals |
