sorry din ans ur question to change the stock ecu variant and ignition settings u need to use proton diagnostic tool.Usually stock gen2 use variant2 proton reduce the car power when u switch to variant 1 u will unleash the car's true power chewah lebih2 pulak.Actually variant 1 is 4 manual transmission type of model and variant 2 is for AT transmission so if variant 2 is set in ur car power will be like AT so actually changing to variant 1 is jst to actually enable MT true power that is intended to be,proton do this to make sure drivers dont trash the engine while the engine is runnin in,itu saje,it wont increase tremendous power but u can feel it and 4 ignition settings for MT has to be type 1 for manual,u perasan x when u stop at traffic light ur RPM doesnt drop fast if u have experienced that means ur ignition settings is type 1 if it is type2-4 then u wont feel the RPM lambat drop.
If ur ECU is version 25/04 then most likely u will hear pinking when accelerating and when ur ac is on,pinking is actually knocking in the engine the ecu is not retarding the ignition dats why this happens,actually theres a call back by Proton to replace all the ECU ver 25/04 to Version 17/05 to eliminate the pinking sound.Did u go replace ur ECU b4 if ur nt sure check ur Chassis no if ur chassis no more than PL1CM6LNR4G47000 then u selamat Proton has done the change in the plant itself if not ur still runnin the problematic ECU actually theres a bug in the mapping.
My G2 is a year 2004 model so i was runnin the 25/04 ecu in the beginning bt i replaced it already to 17/05.So check out ur ECU version u can c the sticker over the ecu 2 determine or just check ur chassis no.Bt since ur usin AFC i tink all this rubbish im babbling about could be eliminated when u use AFC NEO.
