Post mortem for this ovehaul is :
the engine oil pump's gear that connected to crankshaft worn off, which makes all sorts of noise... In other sense, I overhaul wrongly.....

That's something wrong with your exhaust system.... Air intake sensor also included....

??????????????????????????????????????

Oh... the aladdin lamp is Oil pressure Warning Lamp. If illuminates while the engine is running, which mean the oil pressure is too low.

u c ahh normally when u turn ur key to 'on' right, the battery and aladdin lamp will indicate... den u start d engine both will gone.
but aft i change distributor, the aladdin lamp no more indicating left the battery icon...
so dis means wut?

Distibutor kong car cannot start dy lo

i mean wan kong but havent really kong yet.. tats y got the warning light~ haha.. juz simply guess 1...
guys, wira head lamp fuis cost how much?

Actually everything got pros and cons

Pre ECU wira's those running on carburetors old skool mech can tune, those ECU wira's with Fuel injection i heard have to go to shop to tune. Btw i am driving a carb one now and previously i was driving a fuel injected wira, the carb version seems to be more powerful.

Manual or auto? its up to you, if you dont have a strong left foot for clutch better get an auto, but undoubtedly manual save you more fuel. But if you drive in a city and jam all the time and most of the time your speed hovering around 60 like that auto is your best option.
The 1.5 wira auto Gearbox very lasting unless the previous owner abuse it but these are the hardest thing to break inside a car, the 1.6 version auto Gearbox i heard a lot of horror stories before.

Things to check out for:
1. Rust, a lot of owners have rust especially on the roof so its a normal thing because of the glue proton used for the roof. New roof without paint and not yet installed in ZTH is Rm300, avoid those with rust on the bodywork as those are not received proper paint jobs.
2. Old cars like these normally will heat up, gotta check radiator, make sure fans working and no leak in radiator or on the top cover. Take for a drive see if got water leaking out after put it to stationary.
3.Battery: If its just a few years old you're lucky no need to waste money. Normally date of purchase is on the battery, sometimes its hard to turst seller so if he got receipt even better.
4. Tyre's : If its near new you are lucky. If botak no good, if got more than 1 cm good, If got receipt you can validate the age of tyre
5.Absorbers: Normally absorber will wear out, spring wont so easily spoilt. How to check? put your hand at the boot of the car and push it down and let go, if it pushes back up immediately and stop it's new absorbers, if it pushes up and go down again and up again its kong already, the time you test drive you will easily scratch the floor
6.Goodies: If owner change parts for the car, the best is always original as they are more reliable rather than performance based but things such as muffler and open pod filters are bonuses .

If i free again i come contribute gtg do work now bye enjoy hunting

hye,

i went to test drive wira 1.6xli auto, but when i test it, all smooth, but the idling troubling me a bit. when i want to park, its like the car want to turn off. then i enter reverse gear, the engine off. why it be like that? TB problem? but the mechanic said the TB already change, just maybe need to retune. any suggestion?

when idling also, after on AC the engine looks like hiccup, macam mau mati mati saja. i heard this is common problem for engine 4g9x, and can fix with new installation box (the toyota ECU perhaps?) to fix the idling.

sry i noob in car, this is my first time want to buy.

If change TB before, then should be ok..unless the TB is recond/china made..then you have to get original proton..then it can solve your problem..or you can try Taiwan made
