This morning my car suddenly jerking n when moving slow press throttle paddle feel like no power at all, n send to Toyota service for checking n was told the 2pcs of o2 sensor n MAF sensor spoilt. Need to change n cost RM1800+ n not including workmanship. Wonder why 3 sensor at one go. No choice n have to place order, 2moro only can arrive the spare parts, Hope everything will be fine after changing.Anyone facing this problem before n why the sensor so expensive.

wah..really bad luck... do you have any engine check light? how is your car FC doing before and after replace the 2 O2 sensor and a MAF sensor?

MAF will be spoil in few ways like over oil your KNN filter, use the wrong type of cleaning chemical to clean your MAF sensor or damage during cleaning.

it also could be your throttle body electronic chip damage.

the price is about there the 1 really expensive is O2 sensor.


[quote=Dickong,Sep 4 2012, 06:12 PM]Bro, my KNN air filter clean every 8-9k n throttle body clean every 10-15k interval

[/quote]

wah you really clean your filter and throttle body, have you check how long can a KNN filter last and how many time can be clean? as we know nothing can last forever....


[quote=kenji1903,Sep 4 2012, 06:28 PM]meaning not advisable to change to KNN?

[/quote]

can be clean but during oiling the filter maybe over do it....


[quote=Dickong,Sep 4 2012, 06:41 PM][quote=kenji1903,Sep 4 2012, 06:28 PM]
meaning not advisable to change to KNN?
Maybe u r right regarding the KNN filter or the stupid SA simply trying on trial n error becos i remember i ask him after changing the o2 sensor n Map sensor, is the throttle going to be normal, simply answer maybe n not sure. WTH

[/quote]


yes there dont have correct answer for this it could be your throttle body electronic chip...... before change do SA show you the error code that cause your engine jerk?

some time there dont have strait answer for your problem.



[quote=dtna7,Sep 4 2012, 08:51 PM]i did my research on K&N filters before purchasing them.

Bro are you sure you did not "over-oiled" the filter?
it has to be completely dry before placing them back in again nod.gif

what i did hear was an over-oiled K&N screwing up the sensors though laugh.gif

do update us if you found out the cause though, its gonna be real helpful as a lesson for us to prevent this costly replacement  sweat.gif

you are right but filter like this do the increase power and FC?

Hi Guys,
I just got my vios J (M) 2 months ago, and current kilometer is around 4500. i am having the issue like very hard to go for "1st gear", it just feel like something stuck in middle, and have to go for few times.
Anyone else facing the same issue with me?

also, when i try to start up my engine for every time, the engine sound is similar to "Lion Shout", dam bising la.. haiz

Besides, dashboard and passenger seat also have some weird sound during the ride.
*
For manual user this is normal issue even when u use good GB oil some time very hard to enter 1 gear and reverse gear.

Well, I faced some idling issues too, 1 year ago, when I had my Vios G for 4 years at 126k. My car could not idle for long, anything more than 1 minute, the engine will stutter than die. This is especially so at traffic lights and traffic jams. Went to my usual mechanic, he thought it was the MAF. I changed the sensor for RM280. Problem resolved for 3 days. Then the same problem came back. He later serviced the throttle body. The car was all right was 2 days, and not surprisingly, the problem came back. My mechanic went to his friend who had a better diagnostic tool, and it was reported throttle body failure. Changed the throttle body. Luckily he is my usual mechanic, did not have to pay for it, just use it first and see. And 2 days later, back to the same issue. <<i'm a naughty boy who just used a naughty word>>! Very fed up and very stressful driving the car in KL. Anytime can kong!

Went to another place recommended by a KIA sales agent. This mechanic is a sifu with Vios in Sunway industrial park. Seems even the Subang Jaya Toyota service centre will refer chronic cases to him. He checked my coils, 2 bad coils. Ok, changed them. Better now. But… you guessed it, the problem came back. Now I am really pissed. I then remembered from my days of driving a Conti, the issue could have been related to the O2 sensors. So I got the mech to change the sensors. He did not have new stock but he got some old ones with the same specs (but different sockets). Anyway, he modified the sockets to fit my car. Lo and behold, the problem disappeared. Drove like that for a week until I had the time to install the new O2 sensors.

Idling back to normal, very smooth, even at 600 rpm. Even when the aircon cuts in and out. With aircon on, it idles at 750 rpm.

Good info..... notice this if idling RPM not smooth this is not only happen to some vios but also some nissan owner as now days most of the car maker use drive by wire technology .... as inside the throttle body chip is damage or the motor is damage....

dtna7 - Yup, mine is NCP93. Besides the idling issue, the car has been reliable. Even when it had the idling issue, the car got me stranded only once. The rest of the time I managed to limp back home or the workshop, but very stressful driving.

For the NCP93, the accelerator is drive-by-wire whereas for the NCP42, it is still cable operated. IICRC, NCP42 only 1 O2 sensor whereas NCP93 has 2. Actually the car has held up pretty well considering I like to torture my cars. According to my 2 mechs, they even agree with me the NCP42 is a more reliable car, lesser issues. I have come across 5 other NCP93, around the same age as mine suffering the same idling fate - O2 sensors. Hmmmm, planned absolecense of the O2 sensors?

One of my mech advised me it is better to use RON97. If cannot afford, then better to alternate between RON95 and RON97. From his experience, the RON95, tends to run hotter and burn the O2 sensors faster. That is based on his observation because whenever he comes across O2 sensor problems, he will ask the owners what fuel they us.

In a way I have to agree with him because when I alternate RON95 and RON97, my car actually idles better.

My new EASTERN car? From the kimchi land. I have one already for my wifey (a Forte 1.6SX). Changing my own Vios for the Elantra 1.6 HS (only hope the damn SA do not FFK me or I will cancel my order and stick with my dugong). Personally both the kimchi cars are better "cruisers" whereas I find my dugong better for cut and thrust style of driving rolleyes.gif brows.gif. At higher speeds, I find the kimchi cars more relaxing to drive whereas the dugong is more frantic.

Since I am getting older now, I need a more relaxing ride. Those days of spirited driving is slowly going away.

Good info..... i cant comment much on RON 95 burn hotter compare to RON97, for my scangauge info after some testing both read about the same but i notice 1 major different is but both fuel on the ignition timing is different RON97 ignition advance time is less compare to RON95 maybe this part it kill our ignition coil...


Here are some info to share.

yeah... the donut is only acceptable to a few laugh.gif

if whacking corners is your thing, bigger cars can whack better... B segments are never made wide anyway... i've never driven an inspira but handling wise stock to stock, definitely will beat dugong any time due to its size and weight...

you need to splurge in some amount of money into bars and stuff to the dugong to "fix" its handling...
*
some time we dont need a bigger car... tested customer car... kelisa... small fun corner can whack but maybe i push abit too far...haha

Inspire tested the 2.0 nice car if it was manual and weight able to reduce 200kg it will be fun to drive ... just had a feel chassis abit heavy...

Can i like will be Megane RS 250 cup fun to drive, more you dare to push more fun best part is suspension is comfort not as hard as civir Type R or even DC5...

bars help you in some part but suspension is the next level

just finish testing, finally able to archive 589km max mileage as i earlier target for 600km before blink ....my driving condition is 60% highway and 40% city road between puchong, PJ, damansara...

how i able to archive this is by our petrol mix with 2t motorbike engine oil, the base line mix is on the average is 1 litter of petrol x 2ml of 2t oil.

Then our vios use 42liter petrol = 84ml of 2t oil.

in this test 1st or 2nd time will not notice any different due to it need time to clean the combustion chamber carbon that built up since the 1st day your engine came to life.

Im still continue to adjust this ratio hope to archive better result. For hp result pls dont ask how much it will gain in Dyno test run cause this is not a power test but it a mileage test.

my car is stock with clone air filter, bosch platinum ir fusion plug, Amsoil AZO engine oil 0w30, my wheel is stock steel rim 14' xm2 tire just for this testing.

hey all, anyone here is selling / able to recommend some places where I can change my bodykit for J spec Vios '07?

TRDs are too mainstream, I wanted something unique like Viper, G-limited or Genius.

I stayed at PJ, so as long as its cheap and locating just around PJ and KL will be fine for me.

Kenji1903,

New update,
been using 2t oil mix with my regular RON95 and on average able to archive range 570km~590km for average city driving, from my scangauge reading water temp very stable compare last time.
