Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a 1996 Toyota Hilux Grinner. It has done about 230,000km's. I have been having a few problems with the fuel economy (not sure if it's a hog or not) but it seems to be drinking like a fish!

When I am stopped at traffic lights I can definitely smell a lot of unburnt fuel and I'm not sure if the carby needs a tune or a new kit put through it. 

Has anyone else done any of the following and found that it improves the fuel economy?

-Weber Carby

-Carby Kit

-Carby Tune

 

Cheers,

Aidan

 Other threads made mention of cleaning the throttle body and replacing the air filter for better fuel economy.

While cleaning the throttle body, good idea to also clean the idle control valve and MAF sensor.

Might be a bit hard to clean the throttle body, ICV and MAF sensor on a carbied 2Y... :P

Agree. Next suggestion would be to check the fuel float level. Too high a level impacts fuel economy. Too low a level and the engine gets starved for fuel during acceleration/higher speeds. Also check the fuel supply hose/connections to the carby for leaks.
