Waja Intermittent Fail to Start Up

[mosesmk]

Hi guys. Just want to share something with you out especially for those whose driving Proton Waja. Last CNY while on my way to JB i take a break at Seremban R&R for breakfast. Take a break around 15 minute.Then went back to car then start it up.Few second after that my engine suddenly die.Try to crank back but nothing.Its cranking well just wont start.I suspect battery flat out sing the night before I do some upgrading work for my ICE. Temporally disconnect all recently make connection and yet nothing happen. Start to diagnose spark fire,OK. Take out the fuel pump and test directly,OK. Last thing was suspected the ECU.BTW there is a guy straight away approach me once notice I could not start my car. He also starts to make some call asking what possible to be wrong. He keeps saying my fuel pump faulty. Just after I take out my fuel pump and tested directly to battery he say it could be the connector. He claims that yesterday also one Waja face a same problem with me. So I take disconnect and reconnect the connector, my car start to work again. No problem till last Friday. It’s happened again. Ask the spare part the say do not sell it. So I just bought a connector from Jalan Pasar and replace it. The connector start to loose and I just can pull it like that even it should be a self lock connector. What still in my mind now, why the guy wait for me to dismantle everything and testing everything even though he knew the solution it really simple. Now I doubt, normally if Waja breakdown and they claim fuel pump does it really fuel pump that cause the problem.

R&R seremban is the most dangerous place...i created a thread about it somewhere in the car crime & security forum.

because memang socket was the culprit...not fuel pump....fuel pump last a very long time....but the socket mainly didn't survive

Vulture henchman lurking around every where....

I had one case but was in town. My old ride have the fuel pump under the car near the rear wheel. Park outside to attend wedding dinner, Came out started the car then move a short distance died off. Came out fiddle this and that then suddenly a guy on motorbike pass by and ask what is wrong. I contact my mechanic and he came over to check. The wire to the fuel pump was loosen. Just plug back and no more problem. Suspected this guy pull the wire and waited.....

It's a straight forward job. There are 2 lock on the front bottom of the seat: left and right, pull the 2 seat lock, you can feel the seat loosen. Remove the seat. Remove another round metal cover and you see the fuel pump.

Oppss...it's the rear seat.

Andy, ColdPlay already gave you instruction. If you notice below the seat got the pin. gently pull it and lift you seat. when it unlock just pull it up and pill forward a bit since the another hook on the other side. but once you pull the lock you can straight away can remove the seat. BTW does your FP problem?
