hi bro,
i got the same problem last time but i'm not sure its similar rootcause with yours
i'd change the distributor 2x and each time i change, the car can start as per normal but won't last long.after 2-3 days. its happened again.
the mechanic that troubleshoot it said my starter motor is weak. so he change used one.problem solve right away BUT according to him actually the rootcause is the voltage stability.the car supply is not enough Amp to torque the weak starter motor.normal case, weak starter still can use till it dead.
please check your car voltage. it should be 12.6vdc engine OFF and 13.6vdc during engine ON.the supply should maintain when you ON accs like light,aircond, radio etc..if not, then replace your alternator.get 70A vitara.nice stuff!
 
thanx....

great advice...i try to solve it.....
i thin..its da amp...from distributor.....
will work on it.....

do you mean the alternator? i bought it from recond shop at danau kota. they sell a lot of recond (alternator,distributor and starter motor). rm150 for bigger 70A vitara size.3 month warranty. fit nice but a bit bigger than ori.
i've done everything to boost the current but still not comfortable enough for me.by right it's ok. only that i wanna make sure its 100% solved.
norrow down the problem its back to square..wiring!!! tough job haah..anyway, good for the car having supply rather than drop too much.

you know what...i don't think its from the distributor. i use back the old ugly one..with all that i done, i manage to use it until now..hehehe

if you're looking for gti stuff. goto ali kemuning woksyop.he has a lot of gti used parts. price wise?worth the effort of his collection.

good luck
