If you look at the car's fuel filler compartment with the gas cap taken off
there's a small hole -beside the big hole where you place the fuel nozzle... ;-)
- toward the left side of it (old Saga). Anyone have any idea of what it is?

On the old Saga 12V model, the distributor is mounted to the side of the engine.
Unlike the 8V model, the ignition coil is built into the distributor of the 12V model.
On the distributor housing, got an object mounted on the side of the distributor
which looks like a UFO. It could be some sort of solenoid valve and this object
got a vacuum hose connected to it.

So this UFO thingy, anyone know what is it and its functions?

I ask coz my Saga sometimes stalled unexpectedly. Later i found a vacuum leak from
one of the vacuum hose. The hose happened to connects from carb to the solenoid
on the distributor. I got the hose replaced and i hope the stall problem resolved.
Now the acceleration more smooth, can feel the different.

Since buying a used Waja 1.6 (on the road 2002) just about a month ago for about RM15 K, I have been wondering why Waja has such poor resale value. The original Waja 1.6 auto price in year 2000 was RM64K and after 12 years has depreciated almost 80%. Of course this is true also of Continental cars and of Korean cars. The depreciation of the Waja is due to its replacement by Proton new Saga and Persona, also the Preve and the Campro models.
Before I bought it, I was looking at the Myvis and...
