@ niss parts iits full tank o. Nt in bits.

Just a little deviation pls does a bad timing chain cause increase in fuel consumption cos someone in my office claims he had dat problem before dat he changed his timing chain. I find it hard to believe__________

@ nissparts yes dats what d on oard computer displays but the fuel guage goes down so fast dat if I buy fuel befoere I get home it has moved so considerably. And I am light on accelerating becos if I over speed den d fuel goes down so drastically. I checked the fuel in d car and it seems to be true meanin d guage is workin well. So I'm confused kinda. Now it reads 18.7MPG AVG

Update

Move dis info to car talk section and u wud get lots of helpful and useful info.

@ ikenna thank u very much for d write up. Dis procedure go hard small o. Wud see how ii caan test d sensor. Is it true that d sensor connector is suppose to carry current? I mean where d sensor is plugged into. One electrician said dat dere is no current dere as he used his tester and didn't see any lite. Anoda said current is nt suppose to be dere.

Anoda fin is dat can a bad air fuel sensor make a car become so thirsty becos I have scanned cars for peeps with both oxygen senssor dead and dey still say fuel consumption excellent on deir cars. Y is mine kinda different cos mine is just one .

@ eaarthrealm thanks. I've been using OEM part and I just changed my air filter less dan 3 months agom I also checked it today and it is immaculately white. Car drives well and perfect only d perceived fuel problem. If anybody knows someone, a good electrician or rewire in benin who knows his onions not all dis yeye ones we have around. The person should pls drop d contact.

Thanks

No. Its an I4 2AZ FE engine@ sienna. So I guess I've been changin d rite one cos its d one opposite d radiator on d exhaust manifold.

@ car dooctor thanks. I've changed the air filter. With an OEM part. The baffling fin is dat d car idles fine and oda component workin well. Pls how do I sawp d ECU of d car. I know it is located under d dash board area but I don't know if I will be able to remove it and also d car does not smoke. What r d signs of a bad ECU.

@ earth realm thanks for responding. I fink I am changing the rite sensor becos I googled it online and saw d position kinda. It is the sensor on the exhaust manifold just opposite the radiator. I used denso OEM part. D connecting part is near the coolant temp sensor. Hope I'm correct though. Thanks 1nce again.

Hello people. Good evening. Pls I need help. My mums toyota camry XLE is guzzling fuel. Well I can't categorically state if it is guzzling fuel or if it is d guage dat is nt working well becos dere was a time dat it showed E on the guage. I opened the fuel pump and had to check the remaining fuel in the tank and it was more dan quarter. Immediately I replaced the fuel pump assembly and cranked the engine the guage qmoved to quarter tank. Anoda issue is dat the multifunction display shows dat my AVG miles per gallon is between 19.5 to 20.+ which is relatively ok for city driving. Rite? Anoda issues is dat my miles dat car can travel keeps reading 0 but I can still drive a whole lot before car finally dies becos of lack of fuel

D dilemma

When we kinda noticed an increase in fuel consumption, I quickly used my scanner to scan the car and it brought out codes P11135 meanin air fuel sensor heater circuit malfunction bank 1 sensor 1.
I checked d code online and saw that it can drastcally increase fuel consumption. I ordered for the original denso aair fuel sensor connected it my self but it didn't workm I have since replaced it like 5 timess up to no avail. Immediately I replace it and crank the engine, the check engine light comes on immediately indicateing d same problem

Benin mechanics

I have been to like 200 different mechanics(just kiddng) but no one seens to know what function d air fuel sensor plays. All of dem keeps sayin oga nor worry e nor mata . E nor dey do any fin. How clueless. I am very handy when it comes to car repairs like I have changed the thermostat my self, replace the coolant temp sensor and even did change my plugs my selp. NB I just replaced the plugs with denso OEM spark plug SKR0211 .

Help.
Pls if anyone can direct me to a good mechanic in benin dat has worked on oxygen or air fuel sensor before I will be grateful or if any one can assist cos I have d beloief dat its nt d air fuel sensor dat is faulty but may be dere is an electrical connection somewhere dat is not rite. U can ask oda questions if u r nt clear HELP A BRODA OUT

Thanks.

oluseyioba: [color=#000099][/color]hw much do u scan?

Pls call me or do u have mail?

U don't undastand y he said it. A honda civic can never use 8 plugs.so u reason it out.











will really like to know where you got your mechanic experience from. Under a tree I suppose. Please stop giving advices that could lead to more problems to members on this forum.

I can't get your logic that the car engine has too many plugs. That's how the engine was designed and built and I believe that the car has always ran on 8 plugs prior to the op having the issues presented.

Your advice to the op to remove 4 of the 8 plugs and drive the car around for a while could lead to other issues coming up. Where would the sparks meant for the removed plugs go? How do you disable the ignition circuit for the removed plugs? You could end up frying up the ecu in the process.

@op. Please ignore this guys advice.
