Whole set engine means half cut ar? Ask for engine kosong / engine lantai. It only come with the block and head, some time intake too. No other thing.

not halfcut, just the engine kosong... Normally it cost how much for a decent 1.5 engine kosong? As some they left it on the floor till very rusty...

4G92 there is no cable to adjust however your issue seems like your throttle cable loose... it can happen too if throttle cable too loose... for the 3AT it can be adjust.. because 3AT is mechanical driven and runs on a cable share with the throtle cable.

Yea.. planning to get the block then send to rebore and rebuild it with 4G18 stroker kit then only swap with my 4G13
my place so few halfcut shop available... last week went to asked one halfcut shop, he said all whole set engine together need 2k+

rebore and rebuild wit 4G18 stroker kit total cost how much??? will it be more fuel efficient than 4G15??? since become 1.6L already haha

Should be more fuel efficient, but ultimately still depends on your right foot.

Oh, I thought the down shifting is controlled by the TCU unit? Just like ECU, can't we just remap the settings?
For example, set it to down shift to 1st gear when the speed is slowed to 10kmph.

there's something that caught my attention right here...bro you mean for my 3AT speed can adjust?

but then adjusting means what? adjusting the gear ratio? if yes then how? isit like i can set it when to downshift my gear and when to upshift??

thanks!!

workin on TCU is not that easy like setting piggy back... it need to disassemble the language and recompile after edit... lotsa work unless u know how to do... basically there is no one gonna to do or do it for a low price.

4AT gearbox is a failure design.....

throttle body stepper motor issue... it will compensate RPM when there is a lod (eg lights on, fan, ac or etc)

Need to reset the stepper motor and see 1st

BTW your car is 1.5 MMC or VDO? what year is your car? Carburator or Fuel Injection?

Most likely is the throttle body stepper motor.

1.3 year 2001. erm. fuel injection. MMC or VDO i duno how to check.
so... ask mechanic to do waht... clean the TB? and reset stepper?

if its VDO.... just     

but i believe yours is MMC.... probably the gear in the throttle body peach only.... buy new ones at any sparepart shop RM38-60.... replace then start the engine... kawtim

Power steering suddenly turned heavier today... Went to workshop but the mech say nothing's wrong... But it is my car, I can really feel it is heavier d... This happen suddenly when I am driving, so can really feel it... Sigh...

Quite pricey
It should be more fuel efficient as your cc already increase, torque also increase
Very good low end torque

sorry bout that, I'm don't know much bout car internals.

erm,

yea it died when gear was N.

also, if it is any help,

1. press throttle
2.engine rev up
3. release throttle
4, engine rev down, till it shudders/shakes, like want to die any moment
5. then rev back up to normal idle
gets worse when AC is on. or when I on the headlights.
also, nowadays the car feels sluggish in the morning, and the symptom above is worse in the mornings also.

petrol just pumped. so wouldn't be fuel kosong i think.

also.. it's my parent's car , but I'm using it for now. so I am not sure what maintenance it has gone through. though the timing belt , oil is all new. not sure bout others though.

pricey as in pricier than engine transplant??
