I let the engine cool down for about 1 hour ... VIOLA!! now it's starting up!! Weird isn't.. Does anyone know the updated Contact number of Proton Mesra Jaya2, need to service for the 2nd time Tried calling the number but no one answer. Thanks all!!! A common issue with many cars is a suspect crankshaft position sensor, they fail when hot and are fine after cooling off.

To check it it's the issue carry some water and if the problem occurs pour water on the sensor to cool it, if the car then starts it'd be a fair bet that it should be replaced. They shouldn't be expensive but I'm not familiar enough yet to even know its location on a Campro engine. Many cars of all different makes suffer from this issue.

Slam your forehead on the steeringwheel whilst cranking the car non-stop so people won't see your face  My car had never fail to start. Only take longer to start when crank position is out or overflow

I 1.5 fingers gap I also cannot tahan and increase to 2. 1 finger gap I can't imagine. You need to increase the length of the end links and with such low clearance your ARB is already on load before it even flex.

I saw a BLM stanced like that when I was on PLUS KL-Ipoh last Monday.
It was cruising slowly on the slow lane. I guess it's good that he at least knows to keep to the slow lane.

I have got information from Ftuned regarding this issue. For BLM/FL/FLX that are lowered your stock end links will move upwards in relation to the suspension and this moves the front ARB up and close to the chassis. So knocking will occur due to the ARB curve side as the end links was short. Stock saga end links are 220mm (size 13mm nut). Now I'm using Neo end links at 255~260mm (size 15mm nut). Please take note that you need to specify you need Neo end links as some shop will give you Waja end links. The Neo end links I got was Genuine Mitsubishi end links. Spare parts shop will have those normal one but I saw the quality was not very convincing.  And from my thinking the short end links will also have pre-loaded the ARB when the car is lowered so you need to remove that load from the ARB. Adjustable end links are useful if you corner weight the car but for our saga we can only do it on the front. Also on stock end links you are limiting the sweeping arc on the ARB. With longer end links the effective sweeping arc of the ARB will increase. Hope this info helps to fellow gaga owners who lowered the car especially those very low riders.

The point here is the length of the end links. Waja end links are shorter. Changing the end links are easy and can DIY but you need to jack the car up on both front wheels so that you take the load off the ARB.
