Okay, thanks guys, the ignition coil should cost around RM180, I also hope it's not the thing.

Valve tappet cost about RM35, will try this and see how it goes, will update you guys the after these done.

Probably only for NGV reference, minyak users got no problem.

yours is 2001, AT 1.5 A/B Wira, VDO? Problems sounds like a bit familiar.

Bit like my above mentioned problem, except don't think yours die off when slow down, also sounds similar with notorious VDO ISC problem. Dare not to gek po/ comment until you have further details.

Yup you are right, I have no problem when driving in petrol mode.

Anyway, problem solved. The mechanic restricted my air flow by using sticker to block the airbox hose.
He explained gas mode requires higher electrical ignition,when the ignition system (ignition coil, plug, plug cable) is not in optimal condition (has been running since 2 years ago), my car can run on petrol smoothly without any problem, but will face problems like mine when running on gas.

So he has blocked the air flow and it's not the best set up for petrol (less air/ oxygen), but my car currently is optimum in gas mode. Problem solved.

Boss Steven, thanks for your in-put. However I can't transfer your in-depth experience into my skull directly, could you please clarify what of your mean by ignition is not advanve enough and misture is not correct?

I had not facing such problem (just the car is always under- powered) before my last changes of plug.

Now my car acts perfectly in gas mode, still observing the petrol mode (as I clocked most of my road time in gas mode, petrol is only used to start the car and before I switch off engine).

So are you indicating that the mechanic by restricting the air flow, he is effectively retarding the timing on my car? which is going to cause valves burn in later stage?

BTW how much is your friend's standalone ECU? VDO wira NGV as well?

I guess it's a compromising method by restricting air flow and dual mapping on ECU would be the best solution , but stand alone for VDO wira let alone sifu/ master like you to set the thing up ...

how much they charged you for syntium 800 semi syn? I was frequent user of this oil until I met castrol magnetic semi, but syntium 800 semi syn is still one of the cheapest affordable big brands

Thanks sifu, luckily i didn't chase you for answer otherwise you might not even want comment, will take my time to digest what it says, and basically is about my ignition timing (for petrol) does not suits high octane gas, I hear when the setting is right with sequential system, the power is better than petrol, like those HKS high octane oil hahaha

been use in your turbo waja?

but my type is mixer, and sequential costs a bomb, so wonder any harm if there is a permanent choker inside my air filter box?

I also had that crossed into my mind, of course since I have no idea with electronic method, I imagine myself pulling one rod that go through fire wall connected to my seat and air filter , like how we pull the choke at the motor bike last time, hahaha, will think of better execution plan on this, thanks

I did change twice myself, but felt very troublesome to handle the disposal of old oil, bringing them in pail to workshop. hehehe, then give up loh

" it screw up the air flows "?? if it only compromise the performance then it's acceptable, cause I drive slow like ah pek

erm, can really consider, you bought thing in alibaba? haha, outdated me only bought small things in lowyat, ebay... thanks for suggestion

wow, I wouldn't have know these plug and play choker if I didn't ask, thank you.
don't think it's commonly available but will try my luck here in JB


"fitted in the tip of performance exhaust systems"
http://www.mudah.my/Exhaust+control+valve+...5087.htm?last=1

I noted that it describes that it should be fitted beside the exhaust pipe, I thought it is meant for throttle body? ?
or it has the same effect as air choker in air filter box?

never heard of Gates, I went for Mitsubishi, send it to your trusted workshop, there a lot of cap ayam/ or Mitsu imitation

central lock?? tak tau

flush two more times in 3 weeks interval in coming weeks?
can't recall, that piece seldom break
BTW, 1.6 or 1.5?

what absorber you changed?

Not sure about yours, I heard weird sound/ cause by vibration when revving, it's a fine crack line on exhaust mounting component, my mechanic welded it.

(Positiive G force/ RM spent on maintaining 4G9X) - (Positiive G force/ RM spent on maintaining 4G15) + feeling of siok when open up the engine hood

I have no question with my 4G15, so your post technically provided another option to abang nuekkacak.

I’m willing to pay additional RM200/ month for the feeling of siok of the first photo, but I guess it’s simply not enough, cheapskate me…

I'm looking at OSRAM night-breaker recently

what oil ?
gear oil colour (normally red) or engine oil colour?

JB which area you are in?
