hi brains trust ,
ive been searching everywhere on the forum to find a similar issue with my 2004 prado 120 v6 1GRFE 4 speed auto
Recently my fuel consumption went thru the roof , upto around 30-35l per 100klm , i cant pinpoint the exact time it happened but it went stupid on me
after checking the car over ( 240,000klm on clock ) i decided it was time to give it a birthday and see if that fixes it
so far i have done :
Replaced spark plugs
Replaced all fluids (oils/coolant etc)
Replaced filters ( oil/fuel/air)
Replaced MAF sensor
Replaced injectors
Replaced coolant sensor
cleaned throttle body
Replaced all 4 exhaust sensors
Replaced CVs (full CV assy )
New wheel bearings front and back
New brakes shoes/pads front and back (skimmed and bled )
New belt
New coolant and flush
reset computer ( twice )
so now the fuel consumption has dropped to around 24l per 100 on hwy ( usually get around 16l per 100klm ) and m experiencing the following problems
Idles rough and on startup idles high
when taking off ,once in second gear with power on it surges
still getting crap fuel economy
other than that drives fine and brakes arent binding at all
im lost for ideas and if anyone can help would be really appreciated
