I bought this pick up truck , a 1996 T100 3.4L V6 5VZ -FE, and I bet u the truck consumes like hell about double its usual3.4L to now 6.8L and it has been pretty expensive on fuel. Changed the spark plugs and injector but trouble persist. I was thinking that it could be the ECU that probably need re mapping but I think again that if it was the case the glutton wouldn't start and drives well like it does. Thanks for any council that can point me to how best can save on fuel, coz running it is really too expensive. Great and powerful truck though, I think if toyota made it to drink this much then the 5VZ engine wouldn't have seen the market.

I dont know th 3.4 so am not much help. I do have a 3.4 one and it is a great motor. One thing I do know is to use the spark plug that Toyota suggest. Using a standard plug is not correct, the one with the curve that has been around for years is not correct. The cost of plugs at the dealer is very reasonable.

Post a question with 3.4 in it and the 3.4 gurus should jump in and help. Myself, I skip the questions on motors that I dont know and the 3.4 guys am sure do the same with the 22r motor. I just dont know the 3.0 and 3.4, not trying to ignore them, but those two motors are a weak point for me.

With the weekend coming up, some can be awhile to answer. Check out the 3.4 build sections. There are several over there that are great with these motors and may have experinced what you are going thru. Scan some of their build threads any you might find an answer there as well.
