My proton wira 1.5 always can't start in the morning. I have to push the key to the right for quite a long time like about 5 sec then push the fuel pedal to make the car start. Last few days when I was driving the car suddenly mati enjin and the steering bturn hard. Luckily no any car behind of me then I turn it to roadside and restart it.. I couldn't imagine if this situation happens on the highway...
Actually this problem happens quite a long time dy like since last year 2014 July. at that time I had changed a new battery and a new new starter for it but the problem still exists. Until that problem occurs, then I bring it to the workshop and the mechanic said engine and battery are good and he suspect is a fuel filter problem.
This morning the car still can't start normally.. It is stillneed to start with pressing fuel pedal with my key keep pushing right for few seconds.. so got to send it to the workshop again this fri
So guys have any clues for whats the problem? Ald hamtam many duit dy really hope to get it fix this Fri.. Thanks guys

You're right bro! White exhaust gas coming out every time for the first start and the rpm boost to 2000 then it drops. Fully overhaul? How much does it cost man? |

QUOTE(sadiqutp @ Feb 4 2015, 03:08 PM) Battery and starter is out of suspicions since they are new, I would highly suspect the fuel system .. I still remember that I used to have a toyota corolla where it has the same problem (( Doesn't start in the morning normally or when I leave it not running for a long time during the day , but start normally in other situations)) Anyway, what happened at the end is that I had to change the fuel filter located under the rear seats , and I am not sure if it's the same setup as the wira . The mechanic explained that the fuel filter maintains the pressure high between fuel tank and injection .. If the filter is spoiled, the fuel will be drained all the way back through the pipes to the fuel tank .. So, in the morning the engine is trying to get the fuel all the way from the tank instead of finding it pressurized at the injection .. At the end, this is only a "maybe" but it's worth checking out Cheers  thanks for sharing man! but i have just changed a new fuel filter yesterday and this morning i faced the same problem again  |

QUOTE(LDP @ Feb 4 2015, 02:54 PM) I had almost similar problem with my Wira previously. During cold start, I need to press the accelerator slightly before it can start successfully. I did a few things to resolve it: I asked a wireman to service the starter. After that, I asked my foreman to clean the throttle body, replace the fuel filter and change the spark plug from copper to platinum. ya now im wondering whether it is something wrong from the throttle body or the spark plug.. pening la dont know how much it costs again haha |

QUOTE(LDP @ Feb 4 2015, 03:35 PM) When the foreman replace the fuel filter, did he clean the throttle body ? By right he should have done it. The labor charge to clean the throttle body ranges from RM 30 - 50 while the labor charge to change the spark plug is less than RM 15. For spark plugs, the price can be as cheap as RM 30 for copper based spark plugs while platinum type can cost you around RM 60 - 70. he did clean the throttle body for me by spraying some kind of gaseous inside. |

QUOTE(Deja Vu @ Feb 4 2015, 03:40 PM) R d wiring n connectors nice n tight between d starter n battery? Does d starter crank d moment d key is turned? If it does u can eliminate starter issues. If ur Wira is fuel injected, do u hear a faint whining sound when d key is turned to on before turning to crank? If there is, ur fuel pump most likely ok If its a carb, when did u last service it? A dirty carb with sludge can cause poor starts. Other than that a faulty auto choke or a misaligned distributor could also be some of d reasons for poor start. mine should be fuel injector type. yup it crank but wont start and i need to press the accelerator to like power boost start it. will tell the foreman to inspect what you guys advice me this fri  |
