Lexus RX 300 - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals - Page 3
My lexus Rx 300 jeep is consuming excessive fuel.
Has the system been tested for fault code? Do you have a check engine light on? Are the tires inflated to the correct air pressure? Do you jack rabbit away from stops? Is the engine in a good state of tune and all maintenance performed as needed?
99lexus rx 300! Replaced 2 knock sensors and harness,2 cats,tranny flush, bosch platinum plugs, not iridium!! 11.2 litres Hwy,14.2 city Full tank of gas at $1.08 litre, 341k,not good ! Any insight!!
run the fault codes to determine if there are any sensors operating out of set parameters
your indications are that the HO2S sensors are not operating correctly or cannot set the ECM for the air/fuel ratio
could be a problem MAP/Baro sensor, faulty injectors (spraying and not atomizing), low fuel pressure or simply at 17 years old or a guestimate Klm of around 340,000 klms the motor is a bit tired
anyway run the fault codes first and then having a wet and dry compression test ( a qualified service mechanic will know what I mean) done will determine the engine condition
This a picture of the freeze frame for my 99 lexus Rx 300. I would like to know what it means and are these normal parameters?
Yes, looks normal, and good. Calculated load is not much meaning, as it changes constantly. ECT of, oh that is centigrade, not sure how that translates to Fahrenheit, but it may be low from not running long...
Your fuel trims (both short term and long term-STFT, LTFT) are very good-showing that fuel is not being added or subtracted by the computer to maintain correct air/fuel ratio. Fuel trim numbers should be close to zero. It is when fuel trim changes by double digits-either positive or negative-that there is an indicated problem. For example, say you had a vacuum hose leak- sucking in extra air to the engine- then you could see STFT number go positive by double digits-meaning the computer senses a lean condition and is adding fuel to compensate. But your fuel trims show the air/fuel ratio must be correct-no change in fuel trims-the positive 2.3 in LTFT is negligible- not a problem.
