Hi celica lovers, i hope to get help here from you
month ago i bought celica 7gen JDM, but i think it drinks to much fuel for 1.8l engine, on a full tank 55liters i can drive only about 400km - normal drive to work and back and sometimes to shopping centre (not really racing).
Some information about the car:
Toyota Celica VVTL-I with TRD exhaust.
year: 2000 with 101000km on a clock.
ECU - stock, not modifyed at all.
all the car is prity much stock.
Thing is , when i start my car i can feel slight gas smell, when engine gets warm this smell is gone, car is idling perfectly, drives perfectly, pulls perfectly, lift is amazing. But fuel consumption is bigger than on a 3liter bimmer.
i did simple diagnostic as i thought it was oxygen sensor problem - diagnostic didnt show me anything, no error codes at all, so i thought it didnt see my car or something, so i pulled sensors plug off and drove like that for a few minutes. Connected diagnostic and it showed me straight away that i have problem with sensor, it means sensor is fine. Just to make sure, i brought my car to Toyota specialist, who connected dialers diagnostic bigboy and also measured cars CO with some device he sticked to the rear end of my celica - No problems or any errors, he told me car is perfectly fine and he dont understand what im doing here, took my 20 euros and sayd goodbye. So i went to a local garage and asked guys to jack my car up so i can expect underneath, turned engine on, i find no leaks or smell underneath at all, fuel lines are nice and shiny as new, no damage what so ever. Also looked under the hood, no smels or leaks there. Also took my rear seats out to get fuel pump connections inspected, they are happy, no leaking.
so... car drives well, no error codes, car smells when you start it up, car mpg is to low!!
you have any ideas???
