What do you need to know about a Toyota Avensis?
For the calculation we need four figures: engine capacity in litres (divided by two because a four stroke engine takes in half its capacity in air, every revolution), engine RPM, intake manifold pressure and air density.
Why does my Avensis have black smoke coming out of the engine?
For the second reading (Fig 2), the engine is at a higher load (55.3% ‘Accelerator Pedal Opening’): The EGR valve should be closed, but the air mass meter only shows 12.48 gm/s (when we have estimated it should be around 24.51 gm/s), which means the engine is taking in only HALF the air it should be; thus the black smoke.
What should the EGR be on a Toyota Avensis?
The air mass meter shows 7.09 gm/s when we have estimated that it should be reading around 19.32 gm/s if the entire intake was coming through the air mass meter. In this case EGR is commanded open and represents over 60% of the engine intake. This is the EGR system doing its job at low load meaning there was nothing wrong so far!
What happens when you open the throttle on a Toyota?
Large pedal inputs will only cause the valve to open a small amount which I think is the 16% limp mode. However, after several repeated inputs, the tb will regain normal operation ,opening and closing to pedal input. It soons returns to limp mode, but can be returned to normal mode with a few more pedal inputs.
