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

@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

@gbengageorge pls where is the catalyst located, I was told they are two. how do I detect if it has been removed

@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

Thanks, honmusa. in fact I've just spoken to an auto-technician of a company, we've agreed for Saturday for diagnosis. thank you I'm grateful. I will come baxk to share my experience

Gbengageorge:



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.

When was the last time you changed your air filter?

Highjayboy:
I'm also experiencing same with my car, it's Camry crystal light, 2001 model Camry... I have replaced the catalyst that was stollen and it's still same thing... I was advice to go see a car electrician... So I'm seeing the electrician tomorrow morning to actually know what the fault is...your contributions are highly welcome...thanks
