very, very high gas consumption

[t2erns]

yes dapat ma pa scan mo yan. pay particular attention sa fuel trims (both long term and short term), check mo rin O2 sensors activities (pre-cat and after catakytic converter). eto ang mga ilan sa dahilan ng excessive fuel consumptions, ect reading cold,sluggish O2 sensors (they are considered maintenance items too), dirty MAF (under reporting the air going to the intake), dirty air filter, clogged catalytic converter, spark plugs, etc.

however depending on manufacturing year, bihira lang shop may capabilities mag scan ng lynx because the diagnostic connector is not a 16-pin dlc (j1962)

Bro. Curious lang ako. Casa ba nag palit ng computer box mo?

hi all,

tatanong ko lang sana kung anong reason kung bakit napakababa, umaaabot lang ng mga 3-5 km/L yung ford lynx na ginagamit ko.. first of all, na-ondoy siya. ever since nabalik siya galing sa talyer, ganon na siya kalakas kumain ng gasolina. ang 500 pesos ko umaabot lang ng ave ng 40 km.. tandang sora ako nakatira, tapos opisina ko sa ortigas pa. so pumapatak halos na dapat every day nagpapagas ako ng at least 500..

ang alam ko kasi dapat nasa 10 km/L yun... more or less...

may times na pag napapadalas ako tumapak sa clutch (lalo kapag traffic), nangangamoy gasolina yung loob ng kotse. yung tambutso din nangangamoy gasolina.

ano sa tingin niyo ang problema? sabi ng isang mekaniko na natanungan ko, baka may kinalaman sa sensors dahil nagpalit ng computer box. sa tingin niyo totoo ito? magkano budget dun kung ganon?

may isa pa nagsabi, baka yung "patch lining" kasi yun ang pinagawa niya nung malakas sa gasolina yung kotse niya..

kung hindi ang mga iyon, ano ang massuggest niyo? at saan ok magpagawa ng kotse, yung hindi manloloko.. medyo tight budget ko dahil napakalaki na ng nagastos ko sa gasolina nitong nagdaang 2 months.

thanks in advance

You're saying that the problem started right after Ondoy. Was the PCM replaced during that repair or sometime much later? Because you're implying now that the excessive fuel consumption started just about two months ago lang.

If the condition began after the repair, (and presumably a PCM swap by the shop?), from being flooded, it means you were consuming a lot of gas ever since. Baka may DTCs nuon pa na di na nagawang basahin at kumpunihin.

As a side, the "patch lining" referred to may actually be your "clutch lining".

try replacing your 02 sensors. that thing near the exhaust plays a big role in fuel consumption. mura lang yan brod. then, clean the MAF sensors with carb cleaners. yan lang muna. if it wont work, change the plugs. if possible, use OEM.
