Guys,

I need help and advise urgently. I was driving along the Ampang-KL elevated highway today at approx 110-130kph and suddenly my engine stalled, all warning lights came on, luckily I managed to pull to the side as there wasn't any cars on the highway at that time. I was stunned, as I had just recently changed my fuel pump and wondered if it failed on me again as all of a sudden I just felt like there isn't any fuel going into the car.

After I pulled to the side and gathered my thoughts, I tried starting the car again, and voila it started without any problems. I am driving a Waja Campro 2006 Auto with 65k mileage on the clock coupled with on time service. Later in the day along federal highway, I felt that I was about to experiance the same problem when I the car was about to shut down as the engine was about to lose its power, in a middle of a heavy rain! Thank God it didn't stall like it did, nothing happened.

I subsequently drove to my regular mechanic and enquired on the problem, but he didnt seem to be helpful as I was told that it is not possible to diagnose to root of the problem without the vehicle acctually stalling and towed to the workshop. I was like ''WTF''. I am in a dilemma now as to what could have possible caused the car to stall but miraculously it could be start and driven thereafter. I will be travelling outstation with my family members next mont, and I certainly do not hope that the car stalls in the middle of the highway, spoiling the holiday of ours.

I sincerly appreciate if you guys could positively point me in the right direction.

My car was serviced at PE at 62k, curently at 65k, changed my fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs during that service, fuel lines was checked as well- ok. fuel pump changed at the start of 64k, but just to note that I do have a problem cranking the engine at all times of the day occasionally. As I drive, there is no ECU warning light on, this further puzzles me as to why the call suddenly stalled.

If it is a fuel pump failure normally it will just stall and will not be able to start again thereafter, in my case I managed to start again and drove for the whole day.

Am really puzzled how you guys, I mean campro and 4G18 owners, auto and manual can get at least 500kms till empty. My campro auto can only give me a max of 430, thats with the fuel light on since 380kms. The max I ever reached on my campro is only 500kms on the highway. Any ideas?
