Estima Poor Starts High Fuel Consumption

Hey, I have an Estima too! I had a similar problem last year: higher fuel consumption and difficulty starting. Have you checked the throttle position sensor? Sometimes it gets gunked up and throws everything off.

Thank you for your input. Could you elaborate on the symptoms you experienced? Did they manifest consistently, and were there any associated error codes?

Yep, pretty consistent poor starts, especially when cold. I didn't get any codes at first, but eventually, it threw a code related to the throttle. Honestly, I just took it to a workshop; they sorted it out quickly.

I appreciate the insights. I've taken it to a local mechanic, and it was indeed the accelerator pedal module. Total repair cost came to 205€. Thank you again for confirming the issue; it helped guide the diagnosis.
