Celica 4Afe

Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone.. I have a prety much big problem and i was wondering if you could help me out here.... I have a Toyota Celica 1991 with a 4A-FE engine.. People say about this engines that they have a very great gas mileage but on mine is just very bad.. I will describe everything..

So for starts, the engine (internals,and other stuff) are in very good shape and condition..It is complete stock. Runs prety fine (has some power eaven tho people say that they are very slow),very calm on idle,no signs of any problem,no oil consumption (except it has a litlle oil pan gasket leak)..So when I bought the car , the lowest gas consumption I could get was about 9Liters per 100km. And that was with driving like granny, shifting on 2000rpm, bearly touching the gas pedal..Then I made an "service". Changed the oil, inside was Castrol 10 w40 and i put Eneos 5w40 full synthetic,oil filter,changed the injector seals (the up ones and down ones),cleaned the throttle body (there was a lot of sludge),made some sort of a (CAI/ RAM air intake with cone filter),cleaned the EGR valve.The car was sitting down for about few day because I couldnˇt get the injector seals at any shop. After the work was done I started to use car. After one day of use I noticed a BRUTALY jump in gas consumption.. I was about 12Liters per 100km with granny style driving :censor: :censor: . I put back the original airbox with air filter.. No changes..I was not eaven satisfied with a 9L consumption,and not 12 , I mean dont get me wrong but i drive a 4AFE economy engine and not a 4AGE 20v blacktop -.- . So the story goes on, I changed this things:

-NEW o2 sensor

-NEW NGK spark plugs

-NEW CTS (coolant temperature sensor)

AND NO CHANGES -.-" .

P.S : I did restart the ECU correctly after any change I made.. The old spark plugs where not greasy , as a mather of fact, they where a slightly white (lean).But there are 2 things that are telling me that is running rich:

1st: Extreme gas consumption

2nd: From the exhaust is coming very strong smell of gas , and if the wheater gets colder the steam and condenzation along with the smell starts to come out ,but unlike in normal cars, the steam doesent stop NEVER, no mather how hot the car is..

Ou, and I do the diagnostic on the car alomst every day and there are no error codes..

Help please =) ?

Have you done a compression test and if so what were the readings.:)

I didnt but by a "feeling" I dont think that is low,engine goes prety good, in race I smoked other celica with 4AFE, It does prety good engine brakeing,and the car starts by just looking the key =) no mather how cold is out there..Also I dont think that my problem is a compression related.. I realy hope to solve this out, because I dont have no job and the price of gas here is CRAZY. After midnight the price for 1 liter of eurosuper 95 will be 1,4 euro..Thats sick if you look at the standards and paycheks in your country..So, to make the long story short.. Please help =).. Otherwise I cant eaven sell the car for good price if it has this problem..

Ok, today I tested the Intake Air temperature sensor by voltmeter and Its good, the resistance starts lowering with the heat..I also tested all the grounds.. All fine. Now there is a strange thing.. I also tested the MAP sensor and the volts on him should start droping by applying the vacum, the stronger the vacum the lower the volts.. But its not droping.. It always says 5volts (well 4,97v actually).. So my question is: Can a bad MAP sensor cause that kind of problem and all that without throving any eror codes?

ANYONE?

Tnx =)
