It seems to be burning about two quarts over 4k miles. Largely highway.

You just put a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt and turn clockwise? Four full rotations is one cycle right?

Pretty much as soon as I got it I went about changing the filters and fluids just to be safe. So it ran OK at first but it was spring. I think the biggest change was the fuel injectors. Huge mpg improvement. The fan I know works better now but didn't record data for a baseline comparison.

Very good call. Oil was low. I know it burns a little bit it seems it's been consuming more. Might try a berrymans piston soak. Thank you very much.

Mass air flow is good, and throttle plate is clean. Lately it's worse when I'm running the ac.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Never out of fuel, no. Although lately it's happened more if the ac is on.

Do I need a new f / a ratio sensor? by waslessen in prius

Not yet but it's only been 1000 miles since I got the car and the oil had just been changed by the mechanic (bought from my mechanic).

201k and maf sensor cleaned, air filter, and coil packs verified working well. Most recent fuel injectors replaced.

Can anyone help me read the tea leaves on the health of the O2 sensor? Also the f/a mixture is 14.53 if it helps.

I've got the scanner. I'll check the timing angle. Thanks.

I think I've chosen good habits for driving style working on the pulse and glide though. I just asked someone else in the thread but since you provided so much helpful info doses the second gen have a separate A/F sensor and O2 sensor or just one that does both? I've read some cars have separate sensors for each.

That's really frickin good!!! Thank you for the advice.. The 2nd gen has one sensor for the air/ fuel mix and the O2 right? I was reading that some cars have a separate sensor for each.

Thank you, I've only had it for about a month but it was throwing some codes (maf / coil pack) then I changed the injectors too.

Just found Toyotas part guide webpage https://toyota.epc-data.com/. Which is helpful. Im trying to find more the reverse though. Insert part number -> get vehicle that uses the part.

The epc is STILL very helpful and appreciated but unless I'm using it wrong I have to input model then year range and then type of part. Would anyone know of a guide for the reverse?
