This kind of problem , usually does not trigger an error code especially for our fatties(cefiros) , if any it would most likely read the knock sensor which i doubt is the cause. However, my best bet for your problem would b the maf as suggested by xtec, forget about cleaning the maf, do a switching test .That is, swap a working maf and see whether it fix the problem or not. Do not forget to reset ecu thereafter... let us know the outcome..update,
went to ecu scan and found no error code
:hmmmm:, what to do next? i'll start with cleaning AFM and iacv-aac and injectors...
gotta try it one-by-one with lotsa patience
Congrats! U got a very,very cheap deal! Glad u made a good decision . Since company is paying why not consider a VQ Neo? Don't mind me I'm just kepoh only...hi all,
after attending to some of the current issues of the car, including
1.some rather serious oil leakage from engine
2.this jerking problem
3.brake pump with minor problems
4.power steering pump leaking
i have come to a decision for a engine swap to VQ25 today, cos my company will pay for it.
Got it from chop shop a half cut for rm3200 and installation for rm800. will do it this weekend.
taken a photo of the half cut as below
Actually alot of halcut items depends on luck lah. For instance the I've only changed the CV joints & Shock absorbers (Due to lowered springs, my fault.), Radiator top (due to using ron95, my fault also.), engine oil, atf, battery,etc. Its been more than four years now, still in good condition. I don't travel alot though.thanx for the elaboration. mind to further write more detail what r the oil seals that u replace? I can use it as a reference. i'll pay attention to these wear and tear items.
after considering the repair costs, i think replacing the engine will be a better solution, as this current engine already clocked 400k km and it's time for it to retire. Problems are everywhere, including oil leaks, hose hardened and leaks, drive shaft, power steering, radiator, AFM, etc. Since I travel a lot, it would be a nightmare if it just breakdown somewhere in the east-west highway.
btw, this half cut mileage is 110k km.
Thanx a lot for ur input
those part no hurryhi weikee,
can u elaborate more on what you've written?
seizai,
i'll have to go thru the replacement process first before i can let u know what r the parts that spare out of the half cut, cos i suspects most of my existing parts need replacement, except maybe the disc rotor, gearbox and alternator, all those which i replaced it recently.
jpn kia oledi clean the bay, thats y looks clean. there was no much oil inside engine or may be long time no start... its very hard see oil staineh? A32 can use neo ka? what's the difference btw neo and normal one, and how to differentiate it from outlook?
checked thru the engine visually, no sign of oil leakage. it's quite a "clean" engine. hopefully it wont kacau so much after swap la.
if swapping half cut, do u normally swap the dashboard as well or u keep the ori one? there are funny sounds, although minor but annoying, starting to come out from the dashboard on uneven B-roads.
wat about steering and airbag?
sb3, how does ron95 petrol related to radiator damage?
Yes u have to swap everything over (except for the body)eh? A32 can use neo ka? what's the difference btw neo and normal one, and how to differentiate it from outlook?
