Hi, my saga usually starts easy, just one short crank and it starts.
Today drive to work no problem and it has been raining whole day,
then in the evening while i want to go home my car started but stalled
after it traveled for a very short distance. Then i tried to crank and crank
but it wont come alive and i let it rest for like a minute and crank again
and it came alive. This happened b4 like on last saturday my dad use this
car to go pasar, suddently on half way the engine stall and behind got car
coming, he had no choice but to put to N and crank, and luckily it came
back alive and he put back to D and zooms away. Help, why is my Saga
acting like this, really worries people who uses it. I feel no peace.
Ok, now the techinical part, what could it be?
Car is a 1991 Saga AB 1.5 Auto 12V
Battery? Starter? -should be fine, is cranking well
Fuel filter? - i just change it like 2 weeks ago
Fuel pump? - this model is using a mechnical pump, it never dies
Coil and distributer? -for 12V is a 2in1 unit in the same housing, previous owner said its new
now only left the spark cables and plugs, what else i missed?
better get it change also, whatever it is, leave no stones unturn now.
if i am going to shop this Saturday for a spark cables, what should i look for?
no i dun think i can wait till Saturday, i might get straggle on roadside, too risky...
i think better take leave tomorrow and get it done, got to make the ignition
system tip top. I want to change spark plugs too, should i go hot, cold, or mid
and how to determine that? Haynes recommends Champion RN9YCC with 0.8mm gap.
Any commend and advises are highly appreciated.
