lakas lumaklak ng gas

[brenhumprey]

mga sir, quick question lang. Im using 96 honda civic lxi. Napansin ko kasi ang lakas sa gas. FC ko is 6 only.pag medyo sinuwerte, 7. Pag long drive 10. Light footed naman ako. In fact ang rpm ko does not go beyond 2k as much as possible. Recently,pinalitan ko mga spark plugs ko,palit din ng air filter. About a month ago, change oil naman. Also,palyado ung makina about a month ago din so pinalitan ko hi-ten wire ko. Sa ngyn, maganda na kundisyon ng oto. Yun lang ang lakas naman sa gas. Sa tingin nyo mga sir,pano kya gagawin ko para tumipid sa gas ung oto? Dami nagsasabi dapat daw at least 10 ang FC ko pg city driving e. Tnx in advance mga sir.

Well for starters wala ba kayo bagahe na pwede alisin sa kotse? Baka nagpapabigat lang kaya mas hirap ang makina. Check nyo din ang tires nyo kung nasa tamang pressure. Kung underinflated ang gulong malaking factor din yan sa pagconsume ng fuel.

Ano pala kinakarga nyo na gas? Kung E10 na, medyo mas malakas ng konti mag consume ang makina kesa sa pure gasoline.

You could try checking the following:

-wheel alignment (toe, chamber, etc)
-wheel bearings (are they in need of repacking or replacing?)
-brakes (are the pads rubbing the brake rotors?)
-engine accesories (are the A/C compressor and alternator easy to turn or getting too stiff? Their bearings might start to wear out, adding to the load of the engine.)
-engine cylinder compression test (there might be a cylinder leak which might cause the engine to produce less power and consume more fuel as well)
-exhaust system (a hole in the exhaust system can cause less power and increased FC)

Also check the sensors. A couple of busted sensors on my friend's SiR made car use up more gas. After replacing it, he claimed that the car's fuel mileage improved by at least 1km/L.

sir clear ko lang po pag sira ba yun bearing ng alternator,possible po ba na lumakas sa gas?yun oto ko kc mukang sira na yun bearing ng alternator kc maingay na..pos medyo malakas nga sya sa gas ngayon..konting explanation naman po sir regarding that..sensyana po sir..salamat in advance.

[adapilado]

i doubt na may kinalaman ang bearing ng alternator sa lakas ng fc mo...kung meron man minimal lang ingay lang pag sira na bearing...baka sir car full ka plus bagahe talagang malakas sa gas pag ganun..try mo sir na ikaw lang mag isa tanggal lahat ng anything na nagpapabigat sa kotse sigurado mag iimprove fc mo

baka mali ang pagkatune up usually meron ginagamit na timing light ang mekaniko kasi meron silang tinatapat na gatla gatla na 10,5,0 sa crankshaft fulley..kung wala timing light patsamba lang yun..

Assume the alternator normally takes 5hp to turn. The broken bearing on the alternator makes it harder to turn, now requiring 10hp for it to turn. That additional 5hp requires the engine to use more fuel because of the resistance against turning.

ganun po ba yun thanks sa input sir

bosing tnx sa info ha...sana sa uuliten.hehehe!

If your air cleaner filter is a replacement na mumurahin pangit talaga ang filtration at sasakalin nya makina mo. Pa adjust mo rin sa factory specified setting yung valve clearance/tappet mo then pa set mo yung engine timing with timing light according to factory specs.
Make sure that the sparkplug you are using is the exactly the same as what is recommended in the owner's manual (exception to this are the Iridium sparkplugs). Linisan mo rin yung throttle body, IACV, coolant temp sensor, MAF/MAP, TPS

lalo mararamdaman ang lakas ng fc mo brenhumprey tataas nanaman ang gasolina ng P1 mula 6am bukas...tipid tipid nanaman pag nag P60 ang blaze limitahan ko na gamit ng oto ko

FYI lang

Regarding spark plugs: There are equivalents for other brands. Honda usually recommends NGK plugs in its owner's manuals, but there are equivalents for Denso, Champion, Bosch, etc. A quick search of the Internet can give you the equivalent model of plug for these brands, should you prefer them or should NGKs not be available.

One example:
NGK BKR6E-11 plugs are equivalent to Denso's K20PR-U11 plugs.

The major consideration for spark plugs is correct heat range. Too cold, and it will foul up; too hot, and it will pre-ignite. Neither is good for your engine.

pag po ba maitim na yung air filter and a bit brittle palitin na?
isa din po ba ito sa few reasons why tumatakaw sa gas?

Yes sir tama po kayo.

[voltscastillo]

start with this free thingy: TIRE AIR PRESSURES! lagyan ng 31psi lahat.

tapos, check carefully, baka naman lagi ka sa traffic. pag naka-traffic ka lagi you get 0 kms/liter, so baka na coconfuse ka sa pag compute.

next is oil. dont use 20w-50 grade, use 10w-40. if you have a matic car, change the matic tranny fluid. use only honda atf.

next, wag pigain ng husto ang accelerator. try keep engine speeds below 2,000 RPM.

after all those, measure FC again. i'm guessing walang sira makina mo, kasi yung long distance driving fuel consumption mo sounds just about right eh (i used to get 10-12 on my 99 LXi, matic).

mga masters salamat sa info nyo. Actually mga bossing, ang usual na nakasakay lang sa oto is yung wife ko at ako. Most of the time nga e,ako lang. Kaya hindi naman talaga kargado ang oto. Tungkol naman sa tire pressure, 30 ang karga ko. Tama na ba yun? Then ang gamit ko na sparkplug, bosch. I dont know kung eto ba ay peke or what.kasi ang balita ko,marami na raw lumalabas na peke na bosch. Regarding sa air filter ko,binili ko pa sa blade ito. So i would assume na magandang klase ito. Siguro step by step gagawin ko. Pacleaning ko muna throttle and servo then observe ulit kng gaganda ang FC ko. Salamat ulit mga bossing!

Hello po! pansin ko di din efficient ung FC ni Jazzy

1.3 Jazz A/T

city driving (Mandaluyong to Makati) - 7km/L
highway (Mandaluyong to Batangas) - 10km/L * 80 to 100 kph

Guys, any tips on how to improve my FC? Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks! ^_^

[mjparco]

Mga masters ask ko lang po kung Pwede ipa-calibrate or ipa adjust ang EFI Computer Box, kasi ang takaw ng Revo ko. Around 3-4 km/L

For info lang bro, 1996 civic lxi is semi fuel injected 1500cc it's not totally efi, and if it's A/T pa medyo malakas talaga sa gas considering also the model is 14 y/o na and if it's M/T medyo mabagal umarangkada ang LXI baka di mo napapasin napapadiin ka sa gas on a low gear, so alaga dapat sa tune up kotse mo and you need to use fully synthetic engine oil na to prolong the life of your engine, better check also your timing belt baka maputulan ka masakit sa bulsa yon bro...keep in touch
