Waja 1.6(M)

Hi

Any waja 1.6 owners here ever experience this :D ?

Start car up (whether engine's cold or hot doesn't matter), RPM shoots up to 1500 (as normal) then drops below and shakes up n down betweek 800 n 1000rpm, car vibrates and engine dies... A/C is off, ICE is off.... just normal startup

Doesn't happen everyday but it's hard to diagnose since it never happens when i take it to my mech. Anyone managed to diagnose this (heard it's common) and fixed it? Care to share your experience :D? thanks

Yeah, i have the same problem with you, but it doesn't die off.... just vibrates like crazy.... i changed the TB and distributor recently, still same problem... maybe is the stepper motor.... haven't checked yet.

When go to mechanic, the car acts so sweetly and well.... darn.

Have to go to use the MUT to check.

btw, mine is a Wira 1.5, not Waja... so maybe different..

check your throttle body, maybe dirty.
If you are driving auto, use you right foot on the gas pedal while left foot on the brake, rev the engine high to prevent engine dies.

Do u ngam ngam change u battery or disconnect u battery???
If ngam ngam disconnect battery will hv the problem.....
the car will auto die engine...the gas pedal become hard...
So diconnect u battery.....reset u ecu....
Then start back....keep press at 3000rpm for 2 minit then slowly put out u leg will be ok liao.....

just to share my experience, im driving a waja(manual) too n something very horrible happened... i was driving at about 150+ (5th gear)aproaching a corner, then i play play n do a heel n toe lo... when at the apex i step on the accelerator, there is no sound from the engine, n when i take a look at the rev meter, the needle is pointing at 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!! the engine stalled!
luckily the tyres didnt lock n no accident happened... i then park my car at the side n restart again, damn scary the moment... PHEWww

 

[IN_Transit]

hahahah :D thanks for the opinions guys... Nope, it's not the battery, mine's brand new. Could be one of the motors of whatever. However, it doesn't happen when it's at the mechanic's... as if the car is sentient or something! And it seems to be happening less now.. weird isn't it? My last Proton man.... <_<

This what we call siemen ecu ;) ... happen to all new proton cars. :D

same thing happen to me. 1.6 wira. was on the highway doing 120. slow down to the round about then stalled when i totally stoped. i wonder if any piggy back system can save this problem. maybe is fuel ? one i fixed the air-con choke. then the engine runs fine but sometimes still like this but at least not as often as last time already.
