lol

oh really? I thought it would spoil if I crank too long. That's why I only did it for about a minute or so?
even though I managed to start the engine it would be dead when I revved it

i know, but still proud of it!

the first time it happen to me, i troubleshoot the possibilities myself, tukar spark plug, check fuel pump connection. den it stop for sometime. but then it started the nonsense back. so maybe now u change spark plug u feel no problem, but just remember, it could always happen again unfortunately.

fuel pump claim warranty?

benefit of doubt lo.. hope spark plug rectify his issue for a long long time, so wont heart pain haha

hopefully it wouldn't occur again, can't afford to waste time and money just to fix issues that pops out once in a while. pray that it doesn't occurs again if not it would seriously be my last proton.
but funny how a car that I've purchased in Feb (about 10 months old) the spark plug can fail

I think at SC the mechanic tried to start my car by keep turning the ignition and when it suddenly starts the whole bengkel all filled with white smoke.

One thing that's common in all fuel injected cars these days is ensuring a fair level of fuel is kept in the tank at all times. Fuel is used to cool the pump in the tank and running too often at a low level reduces the service life of the pump.
The belief I heard years ago was 30 seconds cranking the starter (which is a pretty long time and you were probably within that) shouldn't be exceeded or the motor may get too hot and die. I also think starter motors like most bits of any car are better than they used to be too.

Fuel pump claimed under warranty. However, i need to observe longer to make a conclusion saying the fuel pump is my root cause. Different Gaga might have different root cause. If it was really the fuel pump problem, then the fuel pump might no be supplying enough fuel pressure before you start your car.

Thanks

proton is not for human.
i find it funny you bought proton and expect miracles.
just be aware in the future : tyre problem, suspension problem, alignment problem, rocker cover gasket problem, aircond problem, power windows problem, battery problem, fuel pump problem, to name a few. don't expect owning a car will not having problems later.

there are others that having problems more than you have right now.

once a forummer here had replaced new battery. can crank but cannot start the engine. the mechanic crank start the engine non stop for about 5 minutes, then only the engine can start. he said the mechanic say saga if total flat battery after change battery need to crank start continuously until can start the engine.

last time u said the fuel pump buzzer sound was faint, before you and your car stranded. well, that's the logical excuse.

previous david's post regarding bad spakplak.

possible cause of n3w's car random unable to crank start the engine.

But the thing is, i already started wuekekeke since my 1000km service, that time still new, and fuel pump working properly, so cant conclude that its the fuel pump causing the problem.

I mean I bought a proton and I expected some of it but totally did not anticipate it to come this early
my dad was pretty much against it but I thought it was great value for money so went ahead with it

hopefully major problems do not occur

moral of the story : listen to your dad

Last time I had my no3 cylinder iridium plug tip totally melted and the ground electrode was still in good condition. Car still can start and drive with no issue. The plug tip is totally gone ya not just little bit. I only discover it when remove my plug for inspection. And they only used for 30,000km

btw u use wat brand mia iridium? it22? i never check after 20,000km lol

Hasif, saw you commenting on a Facebook page about the ducktail spoiler. So pasang already or not? Haha
