not worth it for a 1.3 engine based from opinion of others as well as those whom i already asked and tried it.

It can be stuck open or closed. Both cause inefficiency and hence, higher fuel consumption.

Not worth for a 1.3? Well if that's what you think, you should know that little things can go a long way. If you install a new thermostat and fill up with the right coolant mixture, your fuel economy should return to normal and so does your engine temperature.

I'll have the thermostat checked. The "not worth it" part is the IHE that was suggested. What else should i check for fuel inefficiency?

Driving habits?

I remember me and my brother had the same car (94 Corolla XEs) then and we had a trip to Baguio. We both started with full tanks of gas and by the time we arrived at our destination, I had a half tank of gas left while he still had a freakn 3/4 left! Although i had 4 passengers compared to his 3, I don't think that 1 person could account for that consumption discrepancy. All I know is that compared to him, I had a leaded right foot.

Trust us... mukhang thermostat lang yun problem mo.

As said, it can be stuck open or stuck closed. I have the same problem on my Hilander, it's stuck fully open, and it takes forever for the coolant temperature to rise.

Same with my AD Resort pickup... I suspect the previous owner removed the thermostat, and it takes forever to warm up. A cold engine makes for terrible fuel efficiency, and the pickup is a definite gas guzzler on short trips because of this.

Minsan ko lang gamitin pag coding. Lady driven ever since matipid 'to ngayon lang nagkanda-letse-letse. Pag ang auto hindi ikaw mismo nag-maintain masisira. Learned my lesson.

I'll have it checked within the week. 1st owner kami. Hmm.. baka nga pinatangal yung thermostat.. pero lam ko hinde. Check ko nga...
