Dear guys,


Lately, i have a problem with my car. The idling of my car is too low which around 200-400 rpm and it cause my car almost to stall. I had clean the MAF sensor and change air filter but the problem still remained there. Anybody know any possible solution regarding this matter? :confused:

Hope to hear from all of you soon..thank you :wavey:

200-400rpm???? that's not possible!! will definately stall....

other then idling problem, any other issue?? if no then it's most probably your idle control valve is clogged.... it's located below your throttle body.... you will need to remove the throttle body to clean it....

check your plugs while you are at it....

the idle valve is directly below the tb.... it look's as thought it's part of the tb... let your mechanic decide if your plugs are in good shape or not..... if not then get Denso ik20.....

if the vibration is bad then your engine mounts may have torn.....

Hi all.

Is there any way we can chrome our Sport Rim? As we all know after several months using the sport rim, there will be lots of scratches.

I heard there is a workshop which can do that, but I lost the name of the shop.

What is your comment on this? Is it better to chrome or other colours like black or white?
