i mean damn, i use my baby too much d

Mine 3years 2months already done 100k...

Is it something like lagging?

peepz, my wira 1.3gli (2002) engine will suddenly gone off during idle or when i'm driving and then the check engine light will stay lite up when i start the engine back but then my car will be very very sluggish .. macam running on 2 piston.. i had already check the plugs and the cables.. but problem still occour although it's not frequent.. maybe once or twice a month..

stuff i had change in the past 4 month,
-new set of plugs.
-new oem air filter

basically my car is stock.. no modification done and it's service regularly.

so anyidea about the problem ? i wanna get it fixed as i'm doing a lot of outstation travelling.
thanks.

Looks like is the intake valve after air filter blocked. Disconnect the air filter set(rubber parts) then open the valve manually and clean it using clean cloth. It should solve your problem. Anyway when you change your petrol filter, is it black or not?

how u service it? like wat u change? how many month service once?

ok i'll try to have a look, the valve ?you mean throttle body izzt ? how much is the petrol filter including workmanship ? if i'm not mistaken .. i havent change that before.

usually change engine oil, oil filter when i sent it for service. I'm using cheapskate mineral oil, (castrol sw 15-40) + Top engine oil treatment and proton oil filter. i service my car every 5.5k ~ 6k.. ermm that should be around 2~3 month once.

Normally around 5K then go service
If you use fully synthectic its 10K

nicotine, i suspect it's ur throttle body, check ur ISC (idling speed control) gears.

fully synthectic how much? My friend sell me castrol oil around RM50++abit... i thinking whether to choose semi,fully or Castrol/ eagle

fully synthetic will burn a hole in ur wallet, thats all I have to say

fully synthetic cost more than 100 bucks la. its good on the engine. i say you better check on your timings, if not consider doing an overhaul on the engine.

Fully Synthetic 5w/40 also is around RM170-RM180 range...freaking crazy...thats why I use semi synthetic is good enough

Is it called throttle body? I think so, when the velve is open, the engine rpm will higher, like stepping on the accelerater. After clean it, you can see your car don't die on middle of idling.

Better to use semi rather than fully if the car is few years olf already.

Yup its called the throttle body, where you can adjust the idle timing in EFI cars

Thanks for the info, know where to clean, but don't know the name..

Hehe. . . my car's miledge oso quite high. . . 1998 batch, 189k km !

Btw, i am using normal mineral oil only !!! If use Synetic (tried) the oil will out of no reason vapourised and no oil left in engine, damm dangerous !!! Tried and freaked out when saw that after driving at highway !!! Imagine the consiquences that might happen. . . . . .
Now Caltex's normal mineral oil doesn't give me any problem liao ! :-)

If u think that ur idling speed is too slow/rough, try increasing the idling speed by adjusting the idle adjuster screw.

As car's piston rings wear and tear over time, it is better to use mineral oil rather than semi or fully. I tried fully before on my 10 year old Iswara, it take 2 weeks to get my oil lost 50%

Injection cars cannot adjust timing by the screw, only can be done using a machine. The throttle body is when we step on the accelerater, the valve will open more.

Anybody can post their WIRA with bodykits? I m interested to see how nice it would be. So far i think only WIRA and CIVIC can be modded nicely.

using the screw is to adjust the idle timing only
