Fuel cut??hehehe j/k
mayb ur pump weak liao so cannot support more fuel to ur car during tat speed.....or ur fuel filter dirty liao........

I use to face these problem, change fuel filter oso no use. Then change spark plugs same oso. Finally the mech change the fuel pump... TA-DA~~~ its back to normal. However i would recommend to change to new fuel pump cpz we neva know how is the condition of the used pump. Like mine, bought a used pump and the problem come back again after 6 months... haih.~~

I believe ur saga is still standard and still carb. Then I think it's ur carb that has problem. Either it's too dirty or some component not working. I have a friend that has this twin carb prelude, when the 2nd carb activates, it's like fuel cut and the whole engine just chokes..... the carb K-O already. So ur problem I think also similar.... something wrong with ur carb. Bring to a mech a get it service....!

one more thing, check if the symptoms happen at lower speed @ around the same revs.

I'm running twin carbs too. But i did face that problem, and my mechaninc found out the problem a faulty AC pump(fuel pump). AC pump is for carbs only and works on mechanical basis, not electrical. For ur saga carb, i think its the same. Unless maybe Proton upgraded to electric pump. The cost to replace mine was RM 135.00. This was 1 year ago. :)

Check your spark plug, spark plug cable, coil, then fuel filter, last carburator.

can i ask where is the location of the AC pump????
under the hood or behind the seat??

 

[escaflowne]

haha ...it is under the hood...
u look perpendicular to ur engine...u sure know where is ur carby rite!!
for proton engine..like mine 4g15p it is the top right beside the carby above ur air con compressor...

normally gold in color, got one IN hose, one overflow R hose and one breathing hose

last time the hose songsang pasang...the fuel will like leak out and stay on the AC pump....luckily din KABOOM
