hello all
I got a naija used 2001 tribute with a 04ford escape engine that has a terrible fuel consumption like a leaking pipe even as a V6. a technician friend had it scanned and got d following codes: po401, po161, po141, po125 and something abt d pcm.
anyway not surprised because all d O2 sensors aren't connected to d engine while d fan is connected directly to d engine. it picks immediately u turn on d engine.
I was told overheating usually associated with d vehicle brand was d reason for d direct fan connection while nothing concrete on d o2 sensors.
so far like six months now I haven't had an engine issue other than alternator, kickstarter and suspension issues which have bn attended to and I was advised to keep managing d engine that way.
but truly need ur advise on how I can bring d engine performance to normal and confident level for a long distant trip

Kazeemized vehicle.

Your radiator fan has to be returned to factory settings, your thermostat needs to be reinstalled, and your oxygen sensors need to be reconnected(if damaged, replaced and reconnected)

Alternator. Hmmm!! Your charging system has been compromised. Evrytin mentioned would create a high fuel consumption. For this very car if your alternator has been changed to something else as against what originally came with your. My brother you are only compounding the car's problem. Replace your 02 sensors if bad. Your thermostat. Ect and so on. If you need to solve the stated problem call 08156087872 or 08165520837. Bbpin is 7BE1C522
