Over the last two tanks of petrol that I've used, my car seems to be guzzling it down like theres no tomorrow. I thought it might have just been doing it's normal thing of having a bad tank of petrol and then getting heaps of k's out of the next tank.
This wasn't the case. Then I went down the coast sat night on our cruise and it used 1/2 a tank of petrol. That was just with normal driving and no hard acceleration. It doesn't seem to have the pick up it normally does.
If the turbo's blown, it wouldn't be making boost... right?
Also, when I first start the car it idles at 1500rpm and seems to drop spasmodically when ever it wants, meaning it doesn't idle like that until it gets to running temperature (sometimes it just keeps ideling like this until I turn it off). I find that if I rev it to 3000rpm for about 3 seconds the rev's seem to drop and stay at around 700/800rpm (normal idleing) sometimes 1100rpm.
Could this have something to do with the injectors?
Auto choke not working properly??
Or someone said something about cam belt/gears or something. I just heard the part of $600 to fix it and died. Apparently these should be done around the 100,000km mark.....
I soo ****en wish I could get streetmachines for some of this shit, It's just one thing after another and quite frankly, I'm ****en sick of it.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. I can't get hold of my mechanic until the 28th so I thought I'd ask here first and see if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks again.
