Good Afternoon All.

Please my car has been seriously consuming fuel.
I bought it as a Nigerian used January 2019, when I bought the car, the thermostat has been removed with the fan connected direct, AC also converted to manual compressor.

I reverse the fan connection to factory setting, bought thermostat and everything has been working fine, after 5 months the AC compressor got burnt (the excuse of the technician then was that since my fan is not connected direct the manual compressor can retain heat reason why it got burnt), got a poeguet 406 compressor, after some months it started leaking and eventually got burnt.

Changed AC technician, the new guy bought big daddy compressor, changed condenser and Evaporator also recommended that I connect the fan direct else the compressor will get burnt again. After that my AC has been working fine but my car consumes fuel like mad. The fan is running direct with my thermostat still intact. No check engine light, I already scanned it no error code. Spark Plugs are burning fine.
Ltft is - 25% while STFT is between 3.5% and - 1.6%

Kindly help on what to do to reduce the fuel consumption.

Won't the compressor burn again if I return the fan to factory setup?

Car is Toyota camry 2008 I4.

With this, it will take forever for your car to get to closed loop.

your car ECU is being tricked that the engine is running too cold, hence it is simply dumping fuel into your engine combustion chambers in perpetuity to ensure your engine has warmed up. With this kind of condition, your idle speed will be quite high. the LTFT of -25% is an indication that your engine is running rich.

start by reverting all connections to factory settings, installing your thermostat to get your engine back to operating specifications.
Then we can talk of how your AC can work without being burnt out.

Your 2008 toyota camry is not a 1982 Peugeot 504.

Well its either your 02 sensor is bad,or catalyst converter has been popped out. Radiator fan direct connection to ignition,has lil or no impact on the fuel dosage. You must be getting some misfires,rough idle. Secondly why would they change evaporator. All this charge and bail ac technician. That was how one argues with me ar ladipo that it was evaporator,valve,lets open dashboard. We almost got into a fight afte wasting close to 100k. Anytin a/c my guy,na naija u dey. Manual o,auto o. The manual am using in my acura since last year feb till now e dey cause hamattan. Get a competent ac technician that has tools and gadgets and can test and know what compressor to buy. If not e go burn quick like petrol. Lol

The two of spark plug of my car is covering with black carbon, I have changed it twice it repeats the same thing
Could this also be the reason why my fuel economy have gone bad, please what is the problem of my car any useful information will be appreciated I use 2008 Hyundai

promotervickky:


My first question: How much did you buy the car?

Mynewdawn15:


200k
I guess after telling you the price, it will resolve the issue I have.

Proffer a solution if you have one and if you don't have, just read and pass.

promotervickky:


Do you use good company oil for servicing? And does your exhaust have a leakage.

Check on these

nonhuman:
I use Mobil always, my exhaust is not leaking

Hello guys, please advise me, is it good to buy a 2008 Toyota Camry. ? I heard it consumes oil when it reaches a milage of 80,000 plus. They said it's because the engine 2 AZ - FE, and it is better to buy an engine that has 2gr- FE which is a V6. Kindly advice. thanks

promotervickky:


Taken it to a mechanic? What did he say?

nonhuman:

The mechanic doesn't know what to look out as the engine is firing very well

Thanks to everyone that contributed.

I have been able to narrow down the issue to Radiator fan not coming on when AC is switched on, reason for the fan being connected direct which has been given me poor fuel economy.

Before the last compressor got burnt, radiator fan works based on engine thermostat and whenever I switch the AC on, at times the fan picks(depending on the temperature) and later goes off. But does not work continuously most time when AC is on.

@radautoworks it is a Toyota camry 08 four plugs. I understand that the compressor has already been converted to manual even at that AC should be able to work without fan being connected direct.

@Kingreignn I am in Gboko(Benue State)

The help I need now is how to make my fan work when AC is switched on instead of it running continuously so that I can revert any connection done. Then the radiator fan will work base on the engine thermostat when AC is not switched on, then run continuously when AC is on.

Joebas:
Pls help is needed
Fuel consumption is too high in 2000 Toyota Avalon. Scanned it and got 3 codes
Knock sensor bank 1
Knock sensor bank 2
O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (wires were cut during cat replacement)
Stft for both banks is 19.5 on both banks during idle but decreases to 0 as engine is revd up
Ltft is 30.5 for both banks

Note: changed most vacum pipes including the pcv
Help is really needed
