Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys posting this for my fatherinlaw he owns a 09 d40 navara trayback king cab his problem is after he brought it home it started blowing black smoke and lots of it all time under accelation he took it back to the dealers and they cleaned the air flow senser but they r use less and no 2 is it has had shit fuel consumption from the get go does bout 14 per 100 is this normal ? if so wat can be done to fix it besides snorkel any ideas r welcome cheers guys

Let me guess!!!!!

Its an auto,if so tell him to suk it up you wont fix the fuel consumption

hate to say it but no it's a 6 speed manual

Ok thats very unusual, normally its the autos that drink fuel we never here of people with manuals having economy issues, So i would suuggest its probably an injector problem, its quite common,

Check the air intake system, sounds like too much fuel/not enough air in the mixture. Check for really rediculous things. I have seen a cleaning rag stuck in an intake, inside the air filter, which was the cause of some really crap economy.

thanks guys will tell him but is there anymore ideas on both problems

What is the power like? Clogged air intake does sound like his problem, but if the power is good, I'd be getting Nissan to check out ALL the sensors. I don't think the fuel can be just wound up or wound back on the newer stuff. Sure would make it easy tho.

he ius at work atm will ask when i see him next but from memory he said that it has stuff all power from takeoff unti;l bout 1500 revs when the turbo kicks in maybe bit more revs not sure will ask him but

I think you mite have same problem as my friends d40, its a injector problem, might need a new injector rail for it. should come under warranty.

while highly likly to be injectors, change the fuel filter first and most importantly reset the ECU.

hey mate i have an d40 also as mine blows an bit smoke to and it lose power if u dump the clucth or really give it an bit under load mine came up with an reading on the computuer say o2 sencer and fuel pump and fuel rail wich it is all getting replaced under warenty next week hope all goes well after that i have to get few things fixed all ready just watch when air con is going feel the passanger side floor will get damp it the aircon leaks and they need to make the pipe longer and mine pops out fith to wich i get new gear box for to next week other then that there pritty good utes i love mine ................................

lol they all blow black smoke my 2010 blew heaps from factory... maybe bad fuel too? mine has a crap tank in and used 17l p 100 towing today wasnt too heavy a load either

wow thats crap thanks for your reply guys will let u now what happens

hi guys, we have a d40 at work that had similar symtoms. it ended up being a broken timing gear teeth, skipped teeth, ( i think ecu tried to adjust fuel mixture to suit the timing after teeth skipped) and ended up needing new injectors at the same time. nissan dealer said it was becoming a more and more common problem. definately get it checked by dealer
