I changed the compressor before, maybe 15-18months before.

Today 03/06/2019 something serious happen, during peak hour evening traffic jam near Sungai Wang. The RPM suddenly go up 4000 down 3000 rpm, up down up down. I press brake but still can few the acceleration keep revving, then I put to P, the rev sound damn loud like you press 3000rpm during P. Then I off engine in the traffic jam, when they move, I start back engine put to D then suddenly rev to 3000, the car suddenly go very fast, totally cannot stop. Atlast I park at somewhere and call the aircond guy, he say maybe his staff adjust too high RPM so when the engine oil hot already the RPM go higher and higher. Otherwise is the throttle body KONG liao then need to send to Toyota do replace throttle body around rm1000-1200 with genuine warranty.

Damn scary, you can imagine your car keep revving at 3500rpm between the traffic jam crowd.

dude, i seriously think yr car get sabo by that incompetant aircon dude. seriously they macam no exp and simply fix without testing? i will not go back to that shop again.

I have no idea, I have not much knowledge about the engine or aircond thing, now I only hope they know how to fix this shit thing. After they fix, maybe I will wnter Toyota SC check again.

Do u have any good workshop recommend ? Cheras area, VivaHome, LeisureMall, Permaisuri, Connaught
Thanks

i would like to hlp but im not from around kl area.
but i hope u can fix yr car man., or better yet u sell it then buy civic( i heard u had been consider it) haha

Finally problem settle, it is the noozle problem. Cost me rm120, so totally rm200 for everything.

Civic in June don't have TCP white stock, need to wait until end of July, somemore the back row seats of Civic not comfortable, the head rest too straight and the back side too straight, make me feel headache (maybe is own feeling)

Glad to hear your problem is solved. May I ask what name is this part and where is this located in the engine bay?

Update : I found out this is a avanza idle air control valve or IAC. Thanks ya.

The workshop boss told me this so called "noozle". The guy say usually if the rev problem on Avanza, just need to check "noozle" or "valve". At one time only one piece will spoil, won't suddenly both spoil together. But he ask me to be careful the throttle body especially car age more than 8 years.

noozle as :


valve as :

Thanks for sharing. I think this is for 1.5 if not mistaken. Does anyone here know if 1.3 engine for first gen has this IAC or not?

You are welcome, we are here to sharing about the avanza problem, discuss and solve it.

Does anyone here know if 1.3 engine for first gen has this "idle air control valve / IAC" or not? Thanks

Thks for info. Each time I clean the 1st IAC then seems ok. I normal wipe it clean, spray a little carb cleaner into the hole wipe it clean too. Then refit then remove air filter. Start engine, then spray a little carb cleaner into the throttle body and pull accelerator cable to rev it. Then repeat spray and rev for few times.

I guess mine going to KO too.

Buy from China less then rm40 to your door. heheheeh...I better order before it KO.
Avanza IAC

As for the stabiliser link, I just change yesterday. Awesome, like new handling again. I am surprised such a small link so much effect. The old ball link was loose, easy to turn with hand. New link super stiff, need lots of strengthen just to turn the ball link. Rm220 per pair, brand 555 from Japan. Don't get the cheaper version as ball link is smaller. This is similar like the original.

Stabiliser Link

Also service my rear brake drum, just blow dust off and adjust handbrake. Amazing thing is the pad like new. Me dumb fool go buy the brake since last year, think for sure will be worn out. Think when I sell avanza, the pad still ok.

lol, so cheap, the guy earn damn alot wehhh
now i learn this lesson, next time should google it properly
because that day the guy terus install and tell me everything okay already , and tell me the price
didnt even ask me want change or not

Bro, you replace the stabiliser link yourself ? easy ? What different if the old one was loose and we dont change, danger to drive in highway ?

if OEM rm25+rm4=rm29 for shipping from China, if Daihatsu/Toyota Rm80 locally....I have yet to check local shop pricing.

U can DIY. I was at my workshop doing service so get them to do it. When u change driver side, turn steering to max right. U stand in front stick your arm in to loose nut. Less then 10mins 1 side.

No change ok, just that u will hear sometimes a funny metal PING sound loud. Even if the link break no issue just that your body roll will be more. But after change handling damn nice at corners. If u drive slow then not much difference. Me take hard corners. hahahah.

do you have to go for alignment after change ?

stabilzer link no need do alignment.

yaya, sometimes not even road will have PING PING sound, feel like some metal knocking sound, feel weird but the sound few years already so I ignore it
