Hi all,

Drives a SGTi also, year 2001.
Currently I'm having a problem with some wiring and also air cond compressor (I suspet also).

Car has been an uncomfortable mess to drive with, especially when the AC is turned on.
My car would jerk violently during set in and out by the AC compressor.
Few days ago, the engine died when I was driving down a slope and couldn't be rescuscitated until 3 foremen came to tweak with its wiring ( the bunch under your steering). I was told that previous shoddy work has screwed up the wiring.

"You punya wiring potong sambung potong sambung apa tak shot? Siapa yang buat memang kerja sabotaj la... cuba pegang (which I did), panas kan? mana boleh panas? nak shot satu kereta?"


Now, after tweaking, the car roared to life, to my relief. I drove home without any fuss but feeling lucky. It was 1am on a Monday morning!
the problem with the AC compressor vanished after the wiring works but slight hesitation when accelerating can still be felt. The car sometimes felt like as if it was driven with 3 cylinders. Not good.

I'm just wondering if it was indeed a problem with the AC compressor or the damned wiring?

Anyone can provide any opinion/experience?

Thanks in advance!
