Hi All
I need some help... Have bought an auto 98 Prado with the 3.4 5vzfe petrol engine but the fuel consumption is off the charts!
I filled the main and sub tanks up. Added an extra 15L at one stage too and still only got about 850Kms out of them together. Other people are reporting 1000 - 1200Ks on the tanks.
I have just run a can of fuel system cleaner through the tank so hopefully that will help a little. I also took the MAF off and had a look and it looks pretty clean. Its one where you can't remove the actual element part... the sensor and housing tube are all one piece. But looking into it in the sun I could see the element was silver and not caked in black soot. I didn't clean it because sensor cleaner is pretty expensive here and it didn't seem worth it (any thoughts?)
What else can I do to try and get it working a bit more efficiently?
It drives absolutely fine.
Thanks
