Hey all! I have for sometime now, had a suspesion that my Supra was using more Petrol than it should!

I currently only getting around 5-6 km pr. ltr.(6km = 3,72 miles)

And that is, a far as i have discovered, way to little! Should be getting 7-10 km ( 4,35 - 6,21 miles)!

 

Or, am i way off?

 

If im not, what could be the reason to the high petrol consumption? the car is running well, no problems that im aware of! It got a "new" engine(n/a) 1 year ago, aswell as a "new" transmisson(auto).!

 

And last but not least, how far does your Supras run on a tankfull? its around 60 ltr. in a tank or so, isnt it! lol, not really knowing, as i go by the mileage indicater in the car, everytime im at the gasstation!

 

Thx in advance!

 

Regards Mikkel

Some of u talk about cleaning the Co2 sensors, of which the mkiv have 2, if i remember correctly! They are easy to reach and get out - BUT, regarding the cleaning part - How do u guys do that? Im asking caus i dont want to damage the sensors - So was hoping someone might explain how they did! Mechanical? With solvents, did u completely remove the sensors etc.!?

It's O2 sensors.

 

Remove, leave overnight in lemon juice (or anything mildly acidic), then clean off (do not use water, I think carb cleaner is advised, but best to check as that is probably wrong!)

 

Cleaning is only a temporary measure, if they're playing up, they need replacing.

 

There's only one on the jspec TT, but two on the UK and NA.
