hi perthcamry

i've got a 2.4 (2005) as well and right now i'm only getting 13.5 / 100

i know for sure that it's way off (i don't drive aggresively), know what i mean?

but at the same time, i'm not sure what to do about it........any suggestions?

and when you say "tyres at 38psi", does that mean front and rear?

i'm 100% sure the recommended pressure is 36psi front and 32psi rear (label says so)

i would REALLY LOVE to get 10 / 100 even 11 :D

thanks

I'm getting around 12.9-13L / 100 with the V6.

Heh.....who would have thought the work vehicle (4Litre Petrol Ford Wagon) gets 11.9L/100

I was always under the presumption that Toyota would have been more fuel efficient. :unsure:

I drive a 96 Gen 3.5 V6 3L and get about 700km off one full tank (approx 66ltr tank as there is always some still in there when I fill up)

so you can do the sums behind that :D

please note, my car hasn't ben tuned in over 100,00km and fliuds are checked and changed (if need be) every 7,000km

i get 16.2L/100km recently with my 2 years old 2.4L camry sportivo + xforce muffler with little aggressive drive.

the fuel consumption is getting worse. :angry:

by the way 2.4L engine is hopeless!!!

That sounds like there is a bigger problem. I am getting 8.6l/100k on the hwy and 10-11 around town. I have 50,000k on it

i was used to get 13L to 14L /100km, sometimes 12L/100km.

but in this month, 16.2L/100km.

my car was 2.4 years old and done 27000km, with regular service.

i really don't know what happen at all.

Bad fuel.

Dirty air filter

an issue with the auto choke and the cold

diry injectors- try a flush

fuel leak

Reset ECU - take off battery for 20 min and see how you go.

anyway just a few ideas

WOW DUDE!!!! :whistling: Gently on the GAS!!! :spiteful: you're driving a 4cyc not a V8 <_<

muffler shouldn't change the fuel consumption, if they do it should be very little.

My 98 V6 Camry does about 11-14L/100km.

The odo of my 02 advantage (3L V6) is about 95K and I got it serviced recently with a new time belt. It seems it takes about 12L/100km in average. Judging from your posts, the fuel consumption seems pretty OK. However, I keep tyre pressure at 32psi. Isn't it too low?

My Camry is 99' Model 2.2L, i pumped up the tyre to 36psi, better acceleration and save fuel too. But I did install high performance NGK spark plug lead. It is better torque than before...

Mine is 99 Vienta Grande, first 4 years 104,000+ average under 10l/100km, most of the time from home to work around 34km (45 minutes average) each way.

I see the radars before see does that is mostly city driving I mostly do the country road driving (GOLF) so all up 12 odd litre's city and about 10 litre's open road. (open is me hammering it love the old way through meadows and clarendon..adelaide)

Cheers

I get about 650km to a tank of premium 95 (never run regular 91) in my manual 88 wagon and I don't drive for good fuel consumption.. You guys get pretty terrible fuel consumption! :blink:

Ummm fuel economy is a tricky beast. Some cars with the same specs run quite differently. There are slight manufacturing differences. I find BP 91 works well for me. ;)

Getting a chip to optimise your engines fuel curve/power is the best. Also interesting to note that I think our car has the same engine as the Tarago and the RAV 4. in those guises they have slightly different power and torque. Could be different computer program could be exhaust. But the Australian standards get around 10L per 100k for the Tarago, which weighs 200kg more than a Camry…. :unsure:

Evil as some may think there are some claimed fuel saving devices I am trying one at the moment. :ph34r:

This may be a bit off topic but where can I get a K&N air filter for an 05 2.4L in Perth?

You can check ebay.au, what year of urs? i found a guy selling it for 91~99 Camry.

Hey i just installed 2 air swirl devices in the intake section ... one just after the airflow meter and the other just after the resonator box on my stock 3.0L camry, the same day put the k&n panel filter straight into the air box... no mods needed... and will report any benefits... havent been doing much driving but i want to see if this stuff really works or if it is the placabo effect of spending money on performance products... btw check out www.fuelsaver.com.au for the air swirl hiclone thingys cost me $288 internet order and the K&N panel filter for the 1MZFE was about $150 RRP comes pre-oiled and also includes pretty sticker... i love stickers :D sticker

Ahoy... My 1998 Camry (Vienta) gets about 500k / tank, which isn't too bad, really.

Average of 11L/100k's, that's about 60% highway / 40% stop and go...

Usually just BP 91, sometimes I'll lash out and go BP Ultimate / Vortex but only when I'm feeling rich...

Those swirl devices definately looks interesting!! Be sure to tell us how you went!!! Did you experience more power too?? Might get one myself :)

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
