Hi
First of all, I want to apologize if this subforum isn't the correct place to post. But, I am a first time member here on the forums, hope you all excuse me.
Anyways, I have had a 2007 ford explorer (Eddie Bauer 4.0L V6) for the past 3 years with no issues at all. About a month ago, the car started giving off a check engine light. I bought an OBD II tool and checked it out. As it turned out, the car had a failing fuel pressure rail sensor. Some of the other signs I noticed were the extreme fuel consumption rate that I suffered from. After replacing the thing and getting it out of my local mechanic's shop, the awful fuel usage continued to happen. Before, I used to get 19-20 liters/ 100km at the worst in the city. Now, the car's dashboard shows 30-31 liters/ 100km !!
I tried cutting of the battery for an hour to reset the computer, but upon connecting it back again the car showed 99.9 liters/ 100km until I drove around quite a bit to return to the 30liter range. I am really confused about this especially being that no lights are coming off of the dashboard.
I tried cleaning the air filter, as well as checking the tires' pressure, they all seemed fine !
Anyone knows what could be wrong?
