i own the Proton Waja 1.6 AT 2003. Now  the "N" lamp in the instrument panel flashes slowly (Once per second) with the 'D' range selected.

This cause the gear locked at 3rd drive range.. so what should i do..

the aircond condensed and wet your ECU , it is now in safe mode. drive to any mechanic or proton service center and tell them the ECU is wet , common problem , can be solved easily . to prevent this again , always use circular air button and dont use hi-cool&low-fan set-up , or it could be the water pipe clogged.

sighs,my waja's acting weird.the engine's dead whenever i step on the pedal or i switch on the air cond after i start my car . have to wait for like 10 minutes.
and the fuel consumption is killing me.0.22 cents per km.and it feels like dying already.no power...whenever i step on pedal,the only way it'll move is it'll go back down to gear 2 and rev.zzz.there goes my petrol.
*
-it might be your altenator or your battery problem . everytime it is not smooth or jerky ride might be your ECU reset , or other problem . RM22cent per km is average but still on the higher side . try go to the nearest SC and reset your ECU, ask them diagnose your problem , or do tuning , normally it would cost RM30 only using MUT2. another problem is it might be your throttle body [TB] is clogged up .

hi
anyone know what to do with the lagging waja campro acceleration?
is it normal or it is faulty one?
everytime i floor the pedal it doesn't have any respond for the 0.3sec-0.4sec
this is a hell when i wanna accelerate out of the roundabout at rush hour.
*
-proton waja campro is sharing the same S4XX engine as the proton gen2 . it has the same problem on the acceleration , that is lagg . one of the reason is the power band range doesnt really snug nicely for acceleration . 4G18 mitsu gearbox is designed with 4G18 low-end torque , so it will match the power nicely . but if campro , the engine is mid-high torque, hence it will not really ngam at the first moment when u step on it. when u floor it , it will use its time to think for more petrol and power , then the power comes in , only the computer realised that it needs to downshifts , but when it downshifts , the power band doesn't match , it takes time to reach and burn more fuel to revv up the engine . not exactly a problem or defect , becasue campro is track day oriented , not really town-friendly . the problem to solve this is by installing K&N filter , it maximise the air intake and the car become more responsive .

WAJA OWNERS - MISTU 4G18 WAJA : EVERYTIME U TURN ON THE KEY, LET IT STAY AT ACC/ON POSITION , WAIT THE CHECK ENGINE (YELLOW LIGHT) GOES OFF , ONLY START TO CRANK YOUR ENGINE . IT WILL PROVIDE YOU A SMOOTHER RIDE.

i have the same problem with my waja 1.6 auto tooo... every morning i have to at least rev the engine first before changing gear or else will mati engine...  vmad.gif

not really your problem . becasue after every crank/start , the altenator will need to charge up the battery , hence if you push it , the engine will work harder , causes lack of power . believe me , no other car in this world can go smoothly when it is just started . just live with it , or antoher way is ...everytime go in your car , start your engine , buck up your seatbelt of scratch your KKC ... then it will have enoguh time to get ready .

my brother gen2 change to K&N , improve alot . the campro engine .
me and brother have met the proton engineer by ourself , our friend works there . he said that the campro engine dip is due to some design/engineerng at the air-intake which causes the dip in power at 3500rpm . and he said that campro is rubbish with the alluminum cast oil-reserve , brittle and heavy . he mean heavy becasue the alluminum have to be in one big lump , not like metal which is thinner and welded togher , however , i dont really know much .
change to drop-in type , if open-pod , not suitable for normal car , unless u really mod until mad fellow .

Just received my Waja Campro (version A not the P2) yesterday afternoon. Auto transmission.

Some of my feedback about the car :

Interior

Dashboard : Nice dashboard, but got some poor finishing on some area.
Aircon Duct : Improve alot. Now managed to blow to other area.
MP3/CD player : Sound quality quite good for default head unit. No complain on overall sound system.
Glovebox : Poor finishing, small size. Not enough to put many thing inside. Some problem when open and closed it.
Middle Console : Same as glovebox. Hard to open. Seem fragile. Enough space to put some of my CD inside.
Meter : Like it very much especially the white light.

Exterior

Love the bulky design. Remove the "campro 1.6" and "Waja" word on the rear. Look more nice according to my gf. Will be removing the proton "thundercat" at the front side of the car. Replace the front grill as well, make the car more fierce look.

Engine/Driving

The car is quite silent. Will install sound proof material on the engine department to make it more silent. Pickup slow. The car seem get its power after 60-70kmph. Handling is great compare to other local car. Realise something about the auto transmision, it will automatically down 1 gear when the car going downhill.

Conclusion : Satisfied with the interior.Spacious (main point I choose this car). Will be installing sound proof material in the future. It will reduce noise from engine and outside noise. Overall thumbs up for a sub 60k car.

Some question:

Which service center is the best in Penang/Butterworth?
I need some experience mechanic so I can query him regarding some engine issue's later.

for the glove box , for all protn waja owner . i think u all know the silicon spray , not WD40 , somekind like WD40 , but it is silicon based . silicon spray . buy one bottle and go back home , open the glove box , clear the stuff inside the glove box . then push the hinge at the edge , form the inside . to release the whole glove box down .
then , look at the edge of the glove box , there will be screws . open them all , the you will see the whole mechanism of the glove-box handle , it is like a WING . spray the silicon spray on the whole mechanism , spray for 3 minutes once . spray it for 3-4 times . then close back the glove box .
TAA DAA ! the glove box will be absolutely perfect !

i oso got this advice, TWICE, at the time i got my ride.

dunno why, but i just follow lar. anybody care to explain in details?

ok , the light is becasue ECU running diagnose on our throttle body which has servo&gears inside , plus the electrical components inside the car.

when u turn on the light , the ECU will send signal to the servo and the gears inside will do somekind of 'check-up' ,the ECU will run diagnose from the servo and the other electrical parts of the engine .at the same time , the servo will determine the throttle body butterfly-flap postition, and send the data back to the ECU for verfication. hence , if you start to crank it in the middle of the check-up it will shock the system and the diagnose will not be completed .
if it sounds too complicated , it is somekind of 'it is safe to shut down your computer' in windows 95 .

for the campro , you no need to wait , this is beacsue it is running on different system , it mihgt be the ECU will diagnose after the engine has started . i am not so sure on campro's system either .

as u can see , many mitsu 1.5 , proton wira got this Throttle body problem , most of them are due to the melted gears inside . by practicing this method , it can increase the lifespan .

haha ... nice to hear that it solves your problem .

man , i am not in alor star . i joined WPC TT twice already . last year , and once on CNY , only 3 fellow turned up . just becasue of me ... the youngest WPC fellow ... hahha ...

as for the silicon spray , er ... not sure what brand already . try to search around , it looks like WD-40 , made in malaysia brand . it has a very big .. SILICON spray in front one . but not WD-40 .

by thw way , i foudn that waja with evo-wanna be are the worst stupid thing ever done . why ? becasue waja is completely proton . if wira , we can still be fooled ... right ? at least wira is 50% mitsu look .

at least u still can fool wat ... wira is a lancer , that is why there is not so wrong to convert the look .
waja is one lump of proton look , looks like one lump of metal ... howt o make ti look like evo ? it is like turning spectra into evo . not right ...
just becasue proton are usually facelift-able to mitsu , all those bugger out there still want to convert it to evo look ...

mounting koyak mostly is due to the one near the timing belt .
if not mistaken , RM110 from Proton SC (Original), one friend did it there. others are charged RM150 for that .

SAS tuning is one kind of tuning/mode using MUTII diagnose/tuning device .
SAS tuning is also one kind of MODE to select duing MUT II tuning .
when u go to SC , make sure u ask them to use SAS mode to tune .

no harm during tuning , the good point of injection engine is that the tuning wont run one .
SAS just play with the mode or the ... power band of the car only . i dont know hwo to explain .
just tune once , it will save its data , and then as long as you dont disconnect your battery , it will be okay .

new engine tends to be louder when reving , due to tight parts .
but campro engine is well-known with its loudless , just live with it . u can do some soundproofing by using bitumen sheet on the firewall area , where the chassis number is stamped , and then few layers of superlon/insuflex on it .
