Hi all,

Please I need help with a very skilled Ford specialist in Abuja.
I have a couple of issues with my Ford Focus and the mechanics who have worked on it could not make my problems go away.
Thanks in anticipation.

What is the problem and what exactly have you done.

You all keep coming here for solution after the damage is done, never before a kazeem has damaged things

Lol. No damage has been done.
My major issue right now is low fuel efficiency.
It consumes so much and the issues has been there since I acquired it as tokunbo.
I've changed nozzles, plugs, fixed exhaust, cleared the MAF, yet nothing seems to help.
The car is in good condition and performance has not reduced. The main issue is just the consumption.

You had someone work on it without scanning for codes,, do you currently have a DTC and do you know your current MPG.

Is your check engine light on and when you changed plug what type of
E of plug did you install, different cars use different plugs, what does your air filter look like why would you change the throttle body ( Google the word I think you guys call it nozzle)

2004 Sedan.

The scanner came up with 2 errors, I cannot the codes again, but the translation relates to thermostat and that was fixed. Check engine light is on, only goes off whenever a scan is performed. New motorcraft and normal sized plugs were installed, not the slim one. Nozzle are the 4 plug like shaped rubber, they control fuel intake to the engine. I did not change the throttle body neither did I change air filter.

Confirm if der is catalyst converter in ur car

A code does not go off on it's own unless the condition has been fixed or fault is no longer there like gass cap. So the person scanning might be erasing the code. You always have to write the code down so that from experience or online forums you will find the cause of your problems. Also being able to look at the readings on your sensors can point to the culprit. You just have to give an accurate symptom, and since you said it's been like that since you first got it ,you should manually calculate you MPG so we know you are in the ball park figure. I am not sure if this generation comes with inline filter but check if the scanner will give reading for fuel pressure.

The words you give to parts are only specific to Nigeria now I understand you replaced fuel injectors those are not necessary if you had scanned first, changing the thermostat might point to your car running in open or closed loop

Can the fan raise the fuel consumption? How?
Throttle body has been cleaned. Is it possible to clean the exhaust catalyst?
It's a 4 plug, 2.0L, Petrol engine. 2004 Focus.

Thank you. Would check all as advised. I will also calculate the MPG. At the moment, 10 litres of petrol run for about 35 Miles.

Oh yes. I met a guy I discovered here. He helped performed another scan a fix.
The consumption now has really improved. I will keep observing. 10litres now give me 65miles.

Your response here is part of your problem because you are still not trying to know what the issue is.

Your car was scanned you didn't post the code and you don't know what the code is. You as a owner need to learn from every experience with your car even if your car is twenty years old it is easy and possibly not to go to a mechanic only for oil change no repairs
