Recently my FLX gave RPM surge during cold start, when starting up, the RPM goes right up to 2000rpm then drop to idle (near 1000rpm), I'm sensing the engine is starving for air-intake when startup?

A tip for you, the last bar actually has 2 stage, one is non-blink, and another one with blinking (with orange/amber-colored Fuel light should come out at your meter by now), by the time it blinks, you still have 10-litre left inside the tank, I can easily do 390km until it starts to blink, mine is 1.6-litre IAFM.

I really looking forward for your problem to be fixed, because my car also give that vibrating sound, it happens on the left-side dashboard (deeper inside the dasboard like in front of the car right?), I think it's hard to solve..., they may change the whole dashboard to solve it....

is it? so is it the gearbox? I want to send my car to CoSE and show to them the sound when I reach 5000km service.

now I can send my car and give hint to the mechanic, thanks bro dares, I make a call to CoSE right away

There's a few things I'm curious when examining the engine bay of my FLX this morning, I think sifus here can confirm my speculation/doubt:

There's a cable which seems to be going nowhere, is it suppose to be this?

There's 2 hose connecting to the CVT gearbox, so this is the hose that connects to the CVT cooling (located near the radiator)? If that is the case then the first batch of FLX have only one hose before Proton initiates recall to add another hose (due to overheating) right? My guess is that it extracts the CVT oil itself from the gearbox for cooling (unlike engine which uses water for cooling)? Last saturday, I was traveling 600+km in a single day and the gearbox works really well.

I've booked CoSE and I think this is the "nenas" that's making the vibration sound from the interior as indicated by bro dares. Hopefully they can change it on the same day.

Is this to indicate it is a 1.6-litre engine? I see no different when opening the engine bay of 1.3 FLX.

Overall in my opinion, the car is great to have, I've been using Myvi 1.3 for 4 years, suspension is a bit hard but body roll is much better than the Myvi, it lacks the noise insulation and environment sounds are really really loud during 120km/h highway cruising, last time when my father ride with me he had difficulty in hearing what I want to say to him , average fuel consumption 12.5 - 13km/l as I'm doing 80% city driving everyday, so far I've experienced 3 problems with the car:
1) Boot hard to close (Fixed on 1st service)
2) Fog light is higher angle than headlight (will try to rectify this on 5000km service)
3) Vibration sound from the "nenas" (will also try to rectify this on 5000km service)
other than this, it does its job superbly, I'll be going to CoSE on 21st May to rectify the 2 remaining problems.

When I made the call I didn't mention about the nenas, I just say there's a vibration sound underneath the car and I request for vehicle checkup, I planned to mention the nenas and Mr Taj Mohamad when I arrived at CoSE later on as maybe speaking in person would be better? anyway just my 2 cents, I don't prefer to leave my car at their place but if that has to be (because they need to contact vendor right?) then it's ok if not more than 2 days, I'll post here when the problem is rectified.

Thanks bro

In my case, the way I simulate the sound is by pressing the throttle until the engine is steady at near 2000rpm, then press more (like you're overtaking someone, but don't fully press it), when the rpm rises, the buzz sound should appear , to make the sound continously appear, steady your throttle (stop pressing the pedal deeper) when the sound come out, let the throttle go to let the sound go off

21st May , can't wait to get rid of that nenas , bikin my FLX SE like a 20-year old car...

I always gentle with my car...., every night when go back from work, there must be at least 1 myvi cucuk behind my car.....I just buat tak tahu....., tonight a lady is driving her black Myvi cucuk my car....(looks fitted with aftermarket sport rim and bodykit).....haih...sometime I think of getting tired of this..

thanks for the advice bro , I always kept to middle or left-most lane (even that sometime I got cucuk by someone) otherwise I move to give a way for them
