What are the reasons for a sudden increase in car fuel consumption?
1 Answers
The reasons for a sudden increase in car fuel consumption include the following: 1. Failure to match or unsuccessful matching with the engine control unit after cleaning the throttle body. 2. Faults in the engine's electronic control system, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture and increased fuel consumption. 3. Damage to the engine ignition coil or spark plugs, fuel injector leaks, etc., resulting in higher fuel consumption. 4. Malfunction in the engine cooling system, causing the engine temperature to remain too low and stay in warm-up mode. 5. Excessive carbon buildup in the engine, leading to incomplete combustion. 6. Faults in the fuel tank ventilation system, causing fuel vapor leaks.
