my wife blm auto i think got problem, engine light come up right after 3k rpm n top speed only 130km on the dot with paddle floored... any suggestion before i ask her to send her car to mechanic.. (i like to do some revision & preparation before i go into mech shop..)

Hi all,

I'm driving a Saga BLM(IAFM) auto , mileage 15000km only. I would like to check if anyone experience bad vibration(same with aircon on and off) when the autogear box is in "DRIVE" or "Reverse" gearhe vibration is really bad and when the gear is switch to neutral, I can feel a very obvious jerk. In Neutral gear, no vibration at all,very smooth. Could be transmission issue. any check engine light?

I can also feel the engine "pushing"  the car  to move with the foot brakes step on.  Its very obvious that I have to step the brakes real hard to prevent the car from moving forward(in "DRIVE" gear) or  backwards(in "reverse" gear - very dangerous).  It feels as if the brakes are not biting but I rule that out cos the car has no problem stopping, when driving 80-120km/h. Either it's the IAFM faulty or the ignition timing is retarded too much

I suspect its either E-throttle or something wrong with the gearbox? Btw, The rpm reading is 750rpm is "drive" gear and 900rpm in "neutral" gear.  Gearbox no problem shifting gears. Normal, because at neutral there is no load, in drive there's load and counter off by the brakes.

Another problem is , I can hear "marble rolling" noise when the car is in first gear moving slowly , 10-20 km/h. But once I step on more on the accelerator, the noise will go away. (Sounds like pinging) Ignition timing issue.

Is this normal for campro engine? Thank you in advance. Not normal. try resetting the ECU. probably the ECU retard the ignition timing too much.
