Hi guys,
I'm looking for some ideas on what to do next to fix a few issues on my VX. There are NO error codes showing. The issues are:
- Running rough at idle, can shake at times. Revs vary from around 1000 RPM to 600-700 RPM.
- Starts weird. Doesn't do this every time, but sometimes turning the key results in an "instant" start. Instead of the usual "click-click-click-smooth start", it's more like "THUD-start". And the revs sit high at about 1000 RPM, which eventually drops to around 600-700 after driving for a bit.
- Poor fuel economy, getting around 15 to 16L per 100km
- May be running rich as I have smelt a fuel smell around the exhaust
So far I have:
- Completely cleaned throttle and upper inlet manifold.
- Replaced fuel filter
- Replaced leads and spark plugs
- Replaced fuel injectors
- Cleaned PCV and IAC
The car has over 260,000kms. Any ideas appreciated on what could cause the above symptoms....
