Hye guys,

I just bought my 2001 Satria just 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, its start to reveal its problem.:banghead:

When I start my car no problems. But during 20-30 minutes of driving it will start wheezing, the RPM cant reach over 2k or else the wheezing will got worse and worse. But it will back to normal if I restart the car. But the problem come again after a short ride. For info, at first i thought it just the plug, but still my assumption was wrong.

Start the car at morning- no problem
Hard ride 20-30 minutes- problem, RPM cant reach 2K(start to wheezing)
Turn off the key then restart the car- No problem, but after short ride the problems persist. Semput2 then the engine sometimes broke down at traffic light or going up the hill.

Help me guys:confused:

Check in this order, spark plugs, spark plug cables, Fuel Pump, Fuel Regulator
Plug just change 3 days ago..now im guessing the fuel pump..hopefully it does not involve the throttle body:adore:..bcoz my fren paid about rm500 for it last week:bawling:

airflow, throttle mostly - Common Proton problem

Hi guys,

One of the nuts in the subframe has come loose after replacing the front lower arm for my waja. The bolt now spins freely and cannot be removed also.

I've read on VW forums that they will cut a hole in the subframe and weld the nut back in place, but that seems like it will compromise the structure of the subframe. (I have a GSR terbalik in my engine bay).

My questions is, should I look for a Waja subframe from halfcut shops, buy a new one from Proton (how much?:bawling:)...
