2004 T30 Ti problems with fuel consumption and idle RPM
Hey X-Trail crew!
Firstly, thanks for such an informative and helpful forum. I've owned my beloved exxy for a few years now and this place has helped me solve a load of smaller issues.
I've got a problem now that has been recurring for a while and I'm not sure of the next steps to take - So I thought I'd reach out to you legends.
I was away and my partners mother had my exxy 'serviced'. The guy was a backyard mechanic and pretty much all he did was change my wiper blades and shove his hand into my throttle body. So when I got home the RPM was sitting on 1500.
My fuel economy has also been terrible, absolutely terrible! I was getting 250km from a full tank (Highway driving, no aircon or towing). I'm now getting around 11L/100km city driving (Haven't tested highway yet).
So far I have done:
- ECU Reset
- Idle Relearn procedure (It brought the RPM in idle down to 600-700ish for a while, until I went for a longer drive and it has now gone back to 1200-1500rpm)
- New Air filter (it was black and horrible) which has helped a little.
- Oil change
- I've read the MIL codes and got 0000, but this was after I did the ECU reset (Stupid!!)
From reading the forum it seems I should: replace O2 sensor, replace cam and crank sensors & chuck in a new fuel filter.
Any other advice for me to fix the fuel economy and this bloody RPM issue?
Car is a 2004 T30 Ti with 190,000km on it.
Thanks in advance!
