Altis FC

**Djerms** · December 31st, 2007 08:14 PM

Heres the scenario:
We have 2 corollas with the following FCs

1. Altis with 70k on odo: 9.5km/l city driving
2. Altis with 28k on odo: 8km/l city driving

both are AT variants and both ran the same route (marikina-ortigas-marikina)

Is it possible that the newer altis' engine still needs some stretching (proper breaking in?). It was previously used for nearby trips lang (5km a day) while the older corolla was used for long trips.

Should I do some long trips to get a better FC on the newer altis?

TIA

sir, same person po ba ang nagmamaneho?

During testing of FC, yes same person ang driver...ako lang.

That's one possibility... try taking it out on a long trip and stretching it's legs.

Check also the baseline if both car's are running on the same plugs and timing settings.

On a sidenote, i'm doing around 11km/L on our m/t Altis. Q.C.-Makati-Ortigas-Q.C. On the highway it hits around 14km/L.

djerms, did we clean the maf the last time you were in the shop? lets try it baka makatulong.

if medyo stuck din yung brakes that may play a role too.

The MAF thing is easy to DIY. Just get a bottle of contact cleaner and spray that sucker up.

At 28k, the engine might still be a bit tight, especially if it was only previously used for short trips, but it should already be at optimum anyway.

I'm kinda leaning towards MAF, plugs or brakes, myself.

Thanks Niky. Wanted to clean the maf but im really not good in DIY stuff specially in handling expensive parts...hehe..hands become shaky. I will be resetting ECU also just to be sure

Speedyfix: Nante already had a brake part greased but sige will bring back the car this sat to have maf and brakes checked. Thanks for all the help.

My wife is looking at an Altis 2001 1.6G AT. Kamusta ang FC nito. Any comments on this Corolla?

Casa maintained 71,000 Km+ Odometer.

Mga magkano kaya ito ngayon?
