My wira 1.5 FI engine rpm turned out to be hair wired lately. Intermittently, when u crank start the vehicle, the engine rpm will suddenly shoot up to 2500rpm and keep idling at that rpm. I've tried to stepped on the throttle a few time but still the same.

Hence, turn of the engine restarted....still the same. Need to restart a few more times to get it back to normal idling (800-900 rpm).

I've already tune up using MUT a few months back,

Is this a symptom of throttle body failure? Need to change the throttle body?
 
perhaps your throttle body is just dirty.. have it cleaned and see how it goes. Another possible cause would be a dirty air filter.

high idle at cold start is normal. at least for a couple of minutes.. nothing to worry about.
 
It's not the kind of step up in rpm when cold.....It's abnormal and happened even when hot.

Will a "kong" oxygen sensor, Vacuum sensor causing such problem?

I'll try another throttle body cleaning + MUT tuning again.
 
Try to cleaning the TB, maybe dirty. But last time happened, my TB sensor kong. Have to change TB. Cheers..
 
Change thottle body damn expensive. I asked my fren oredy.....new one around rm1200, new one black market rm600 but recond one dunno how much. Hopefully it's not damaged.
 
haha, not black market la dude, just half cut one la...nuthin illegal. :D

but yeah, just clean the T/B check any fault codes that the MUT at proton service centre didn't reset for you yet.
 
Few months back my wira 1.6engine rpm will suddenly shoot up to 2500rpm and keep idling at that rpm too..it was so irritating n in a way it was wasting fuel too.i sent it for repairs 4 couple of time n it was the same.. :( so finally i changed my throttle body to a V6 one ,but it was kinda expensive lar,about 700 bucks.n so far no prob lar n the rpm is back 2 normal. my second solution 4 u is to reset ur ecu box.by reseting u will get back the factory settings n the rpm will get back to normal.it works for my car lar.
cheers!
 
I changed my TB too ... but my situation was worse ...
my car die off everytime i engage D ... have to step on pedal a bit baru can engage gear D ... but i got my TB change to Perdana also 350 bucks onli ...
but mine is chopshop one la :P
BTW, all the car owner here with TB all driving Proton ??
Why la ... Proton TB problem really common :(
 
used to had the same prob wif ford laser.. was sending my mom toher office.. it idles at ... (thousand ++ la) err... can't remember.. but.. on my way back.. i revv kau kau.. changing gear at high rpm.. not speeding eh :P .. just doit till 2nd gear.. then it back to normal.. till today.. never got the prob again.. for me la.. dunno la bout my dad.. :lol:

oh ya.. btw.. if the rpm needle won't response or stayed at middle rpm but engine not revving.. so.. can it be a wiring prob?? :huh:
 
i have this experience before

it's just the choke problem, bought a choke repair kit and fix it, problem solved

choke repair kit cost me around rm65 only

cheers

I had the exact same prob, for my satria either the rpm will be at 2 when start or below one, if i on the aircond then it's worst, well
-first just service the TB kit - will cost u like RM50 - 60, i did mine, worked like for one week then the prob came back,
- clean the whole TB (service) still same
- last option change the bloody thing (TB), now ok, car is stable and better pickup and smooth. cost me about RM250 (potong kereta, foreman price)

so u might wanna try to cheapest alternative then work ur way up.....
