The NIKKI carburetor on the 1986 HILUX 4Y has a EMISSIONS CONTROL COMPUTER (ECC) that governs the switching ON and OFF of the FUEL CUT SOLINOID (FCS) or...

Re: The fuel consumption of my Hilux

part of the problem when it comes to fuel consumption on 4y i believe, rests with the emmisions control computer.. it is over calibrated and hence waist lots of fuel whenever engine is below 2200 rpm...simple modification can change this.....8.6km/l town driving

Re: emmissions control computer hilux '86

mega its a little box mounted on left side passenger foot well post and controlls the idle fuel cut solinoid....i believe it is set to high and worked out a way to lower its opperating parameters from 6km/l now an amazing 8.6km/l town driving...feeling the difference but im 20 years late i think :( :)
