why is my Toyota Camry using so much fuel lately

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working with electrical components.

2. Replace Air Filter

• Remove the air filter housing cover using a socket set.
• Take out the old air filter and inspect for dirt or damage.
• Install a new, clean air filter, ensuring it fits snugly.
• Reattach the air filter housing cover securely.

3. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• Remove the fuel rail by disconnecting fuel lines (use a fuel line removal tool).
• Take out the fuel injectors from the rail.
• Clean injectors with a fuel injector cleaning kit or replace them if they are damaged.
• Reinstall injectors and the fuel rail, ensuring all connections are secure.

4. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the spark plug wires carefully to avoid damage.
• Use a socket wrench to remove old spark plugs.
• Inspect old plugs for wear and replace with new ones if necessary, ensuring the correct gap.
• Reinstall the spark plug wires in the correct order.

5. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure of all tires.
• Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
• Inspect for uneven wear or alignment issues and address as needed.
