difficult to start my 4AGE 20V SVT

Have you check your ECU?
Almost all '92~'96 SVT's ECU is in bad shape now.
This is a must check item.

try engine diagnostic, this may help to identify the problem area of the engine...

good luck

hmmm thanks for the info guys, maybe i'll try the diagnostic 1st. wish me luck

When my ECU having problem few years back, i couldn't get any error code from engine diagnostic. I even tried out on the road diagnostic but it also shows normal.
I guess when the "brain" damage, it won't tell anything correct...

If you have one of the following symptons, check your ECU immediately.
- engine stall after warm up but become Ok after cool it down
- strange smell from exhaust
- misfiring and loosing power
- engine knocking even the IG timing set at 10 deg or below
- check light turns on but no error codes detected

Good luck bro.

certain mech shop got diagnostic computers. go there, they charge around rm80 ??? i think la, last i check my ecu is 2004 hehehe

I would suggest you to check your ECU before go for engine dignostic.
Otherwise, you might end up paying RM80 for no answer, just like my previous case.

One of my friend's GZE mati at Kuantan (can't start at all), ending up have to bring back the ECU by coach. Another guy's have problem at Gua Musang, pulled the car to the road side and bring back the ECU by bus. When the time he get back to his car, all ICE is gone. And me, my engine suddenly stall when i was IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, pushing my car towards 3000rpm at first gear! Luckily there is no Lory or bus tailing me from behind.

I don't know what have you done to your car, but judging from your description, its almost 90% is ECU problem. So please have your ECU check immediately, before balik kampung at Raya Holiday.
