Hello guys.
I am having some problem with my kancil recently...
So I hope that i can at least figure out what is the problem by asking you guys.

Is about mileage drop. DRAMATICALLY type.
Happened like 2-3months ago, I noticed that I have been pumping petrol every 2-3days compared to 5 days once (or 4 days depend on how far i travel). As far as i remembered one full tank can travel at least 270-300 (last time used to be 350++ one, car old ady).

my car mileage meter also rosak ady so I calculate using waze by setting my destination and follow the route. To my surprise, one full tank can only travel 190-200 till i need to pump petrol again. When to mechanic, they said maybe petrol brand problem so i change brand to pump lor.. still i cannot travel more than 200km.

So guys, anyone experience something like this and know anything that will cause this?
what should i do next?

My car: 2004 model, 660cc, Manual.

Thanks for sharing.. Will take a look and went to workshop to check on car parts.
I believe my driving skill wont be worsen in such a short period to cause such great reduction. cool2.gif tongue.gif

One more thing, do you guys smell petrol inside your car shortly after you pump petrol?
Been smelling petrol smell for a short while after pumping.

Guys, my car got the following symptom, can you enlighten me what's the possible cause to it?
My car is a 660 MT

1. The car have not been drive for over a year
2. At 1st the car can start but after 2sec, the engine is off. Have to pump gas and start again then only it will start. If do not step on the gas, the engine will off again.
3. I used some carbon cleaner by spraying at the carburator, now the car can start and it can run. But if step on gas till 4k rpm and let go, the car will like wanna stop and rpm drop till 2k like that.
4. When the car is on idle, the engin like wanna mati like that and the rpm keep on up and down up down and will not stable.

Please advise what I can do so the problem can solve.

looks like not enough fuel check spark plug, fuel/air ratio, fuel filter, fuel pump.
change spark plug first as its the cheapest. most problem can be solved by changing spark plug  thumbup.gif

Spark plug was the 1st thing I change but still the same. Engine can start but the rpm is not stable. Keep on up down up down.
So now the car is at a workshop for further checking.
