chill bro the mines area is so big i know none of city by the plate of bgw3327. but am surely on the lookout when am coming over to there.
i am staying in cheras but always go to the mines 'yam cha' with buddy.
talking about bad road planning; actually, the road around the mines area is quite confusing. especially the one heading to cheras /serdang / the mines shopping fair. you could stay in your line and out of sudden, the line is dead and you're either force to stay in your line or cut into other road user's line
btw, the highway that pass through the mines shopping fair to balakong is famous for ah beng racer at night. be careful!
some driver are really a pain in the a#%!

@kimiloh@
you may need to go for an atf change. i was having the same problem too. after an atf change, gear shift back to normal. if it was already more than 100k mileage, don't go for atf flusing cuz' it may end up damaging the worn out rubber seal inside. just an atf change will do.
and don't forget to clean up the throttle body more often!

@PowerSlide@
if your absorber is still working fine, changing the worn out absorber link may help. cost around 35 bucks / side for compatible and could be around 60 bucks for original oem proton. this way, no squeaking sound going over the bump.

Wah.. 15k per interval to change ATF, thats like once a year

Why my Waja only able to go for :

RM 20 @ Ron95 = Around 100km

RM 80 @ Ron95 = Around 400km only..

I heard you guys said can go until 500-600km T_T..

I think you shud think of changing the cable plug & change engine oil brand u r using now.

Sent to workshop just now, the mechanic says the problem was on a faulty ignition coil. It makes one of the spark plug unusable. That explains the problem..

maybe you have heavy feet? or you always stuck in jams? or you have dirty air filter? or you never cleaned your throttle body? or tires are under-inflated? or sport-rims are too heavy? or you used thick visco engine oil? or ...

plenty of reasons

Thanks for the reply man and this is one of the factor that shows why Malaysia have such a high accident rate.
Anyway , interested to replaced the cat-con ? I'm also more free during weekends , maybe I should give Everco a call and ask them whether they're operating during weekends ?

or you would prefer changing your extractor ? I came across one seller selling his Zenden Chrome Extracor which already wrapped in thermal wrap for Rm180. Gimme a pm and I'll give you his contact.

Any idea how to clean the TB ? I'm a total newbie when it comes to that.

Should change spark plug cable and spark plug if it haven't been replaced or without any record. Air Filter too if it's dirty.
In addition , you could try changing to a lower viscosity engine oil like 10w-40 and those Fuel Injector cleaner treatment aswell.

One thing you must not be missed is your tire pressure , make sure it's in the correct range else it'll consume petrol like you're having right now and Please guys, enjoy your ride!

Thanks. But my ATF is still within the usage limit. btw can I know what do you mean by throttle body?

throttle body (TB) is where the air is sucked in from air filter. there is stepper motor for air cond and 1 TPS. pic like this aaa

ask you mechanic to clean la. upah RM35 only. but say like this -
"abang, bwak turun throttle body, kasik cuci. spray elok-elok la. sensor pun cuci sekali. lepas tu, sembur sikit dalam manifold". your mech should clean with carb/TB-cleaner spray. no WD-40 here. if use by your mecha, fire him kaw-kaw.

after reassemble back everything, rev the engine to 5k++, for few mins. You will smell the hangit at the back as the carbon build up coming out.

then it's better to replace your spark plug RM30~ depend on your preference. then your idle will become high if the tb was from very dirty become clean ... ask your mech to adjust to 700-800. make sure test with air-cond on-off and radiator on-off also.

Any recommended place to clean the TB ?

i should be collecting commission to introduce you guys to my mech

if you are near equine Go to 'Lets Talk Tyre' near the Kembangan Paradise Tomyam restaurant.

anyway any exp mech should be able to do it.

yea same as mine....it seems like a bit "sot" sumtime it can go till 500-550km but lately it only go till 300-400km nia...

am i heavy footed?? but i feel the car like no energy like tat hahaha....

Should I have more information about you or your car number plate ? So that I can tell him I was introduced by you and see if can get further discount. =x

Make sure you read Post #350.

Tyre pressure plays an important role.

Just got my baby back my home.... hehe... after i use the car for sometime, i can share the experience with u guys here..

bro cleaning the TB is supposed to give better accelerationr right? is a dirty TB responsible for having to crank the engine twice during cold start? cos lately the first time i crank the engine will stall. 2nd time only everything will be fine.

has anybody used the decarbonizing stuff for their engine before to remove the carbon deposits? any positive results?

what were you using before upgrading to your waja?

I dont really feel good about the D'carbo. Although I never used it before , I read that it might cause Hydro lock , foul spark plug and foul petrol smell after they did it.
Maybe you can try out those addictive or treatment that sells in Hypermarket or accessories shop instead.

Bear in mind , Nothing beats an overhaul.
