For me fuel Consumption is still fair for my 4cyl engine even with A/C on, from Ibadan to Ilorin and back (just about 1 full tank (about 65ltr) ).

What do you think?
Sums it up.

So, what do you advise?
do a tune up ie change spark plug, coils, mass airflow, air filter, clean throttle body, change fuel filter that is you have the fund, check for air leak, fuel injector leak.

Ignore the suggestion.
Scan the car for error codes 1st.
Before spending money replacing parts that might still be functional

Blinking Check light is misfire which is fix by change of plug and or change of coil packs. Original china plug is 3500 for a pair, it may have increased now so probably the plugs you bought is low quality or fake.

In your report cylinder 2 didn't show up, you need to buy ur own scanner if you can then remove cylinder 2 plug and coil and switch around individually for 1,3 and 4 and see whether the error is still in those cylinder. If no error means your issue is plug or coil, if cylinder 2 accessories still shows error in those other cylinder then engine is the culprit or another thing.

Now Rescan vehicle and collect all codes, you could have ignition issues causing those misfire

Thanks for ur response... Actually I bought 2 original plug 3500 x2 ...

You have 3 cylinders misfire but only attended to two, if one cylinder misfire the engine light will blink, acceleration response will be low and exhaust fumes notice in cabin with black soot in exhaust. Also extreme vibration at stops.

Just scan the car now let's work with the codes, personal scanners start from 7k upwards

I need tips on how reduce and manage fuel usage for my Toyota Highlander. The fuel consumption is fair now since I changed the o2 sensors, air filter and fuel pump.

But something still tells that gas milage/consumption is high. I just got it and have been driving a v4 Honda before now

There is no magic to fuel reduction though, manufacturers stat is for new cars, your car has gone through alot of wear and tear so fuel economy is reduced.

Also the fuel sold in Nigeria has a bad octane rating which burns quickly while delivering less energy to engine. Your best bet is to sell the highlander and buy a smaller car with better mpg than the highlander

Reduce weight, remove all the chairs, radio, AC component, extra tire, jack, wheel spanner also never buy full tank but quater tank. With all these removed, your fuel mpg will improve

Since it's a status car, you shouldn't bother about the mpg na. It's all part of the status and symbol.

P0113 -intake air temperature sensor is either faulty or cable broken or disconnected. Could also be triggered by P0102

P0102- Mass air flow sensor faulty or cable broken or disconnected. Could also be clean and reinstalled.

P0420- either catalyst is stolen or evap canister issue. You can ignore

P0016- could mean your oil level is not up to guage, dirty oil, vvt solenoid clogged with gum or sludge, or timing not properly set.

I believe your engine has been worked on.

Hope you are no having hard starting

Okay, how is the fuel consumption? Most times there is no need for replacement. Could be removed, cleaned and replaced.
