Greetings. I'm owning a Saga LMST 1.3 Manual 2004 full spec and been using for about 12yrs+. The problem is, this car started to have high fuel consumption, it had been top overhauled but after a year problem comes back.
Engine is 4G13P running carburetor of course, no modification done on the engine. Traced back to about 5 years ago, the engine started to become unstable during morning cold start (which I believe some of my fren said is normal problem due to ageing). Not really is "unstable" but just the rpm is very low between 400 to 600 RPM, and normally after some padding on gas for about 3 minutes then become more ok.
This car had been sent to many different mechanics to clean and tune the carb, and they said they "tweaked" the carb node or sth (idk), but so far I just know that there are two thing I can adjust which are the idling one and the one that when the A/C compressor is running. Alright, so idk when, I notice that after those mechanics tune lah or whatever, the RPM gets low when A/C and headlamps are running. About 5 yrs ago my dad dunno when he go and add the fake HKS brand ground cable, and at the beginning the circuit become stable and the engine RPM doesn't lower too much when A/C and headlamp running but after few months of use the problem comes back. So here is my first question for all the beloved sifus here: Is this related to circuit issue? And what can I do?
I've planned to do full overhaul on this engine and here is my second request for sifu's valuable suggestions: Do anyone know any good place (specific shop or garage) to fix this engine? (I don't mind running across states, yay) What are the procedures and changes normally do sifus take during full overhaul? Any issue need to aware of and take notice? For the engine, I don't mind to up cc, so third question: If I plan to up cc, what precaution should I take to not mess up the engine?
Saga LMST, you know loh...squeeking sound of the car on uneven surface or lubang come out of nowhere, this car changed suspension on all four but it help nothing at all. The mechanic said he changed for me the brand KYB, all four in total cost around 200+ without workmanship, so here is my fourth question: I don't know whether the KYB I got is ciplak one or what? Where I can get a good pair of suspension on all four for comfort ride (I don't corner hard...just families hehe) So I need some suggestions here...
Until here I put up my question...I really need someone to give me some guide on this car (cuz I love my kereta kebal). Thankyou
