Anyone know why Waja engine RPM turn high?(Fixed)

zsjay — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 08:59:59 +0800

Hi, everyone,
My Waja is a 1.6, yr 2000.
normally, when i start the engine in the morning, the engine should turn around 1500rpm.
and when go to normal temperature, car stay idle in free gear, the engine should be like around 1000rpm or less.

now, in the morning i started the engine, engine rpm roared upto 2000rpm,
and when reached normal temperature, car stayed idle, engine also ran at 1500rpm at least.
when i push gear in and go slow, rpm drop till ~1000rpm, but just as i released to free gear, it returned up to 1500rpm again
and when i drive, not fast, 60-80kmph, i can feel obvious high frequency shaking.

i went doing checking in proton service center yesterday. the technician did engine tuning,
but it doesnt change anything. then he suggested to change engine mounting.

but later i went to a frequently-visited workshop, another technician jack my car up and check the mounting,
he said he was damn sure the engine mounting is ok. but he still cant find reason for rpm rise,
then he say maybe is engine dirty, got to do an overhaul...OMG overhaul...

does the engine mounting failure able to cause increment in engine rpm?
does anyone know any other reason that may cause this engine rpm problem?

headache...

my old waja 1.6, after three times test n test over few weeks.
FINALLY ~~finally~fuuu....
the Proton ECU reader gave an error code = "KNOCK SENSOR FAULTY"
but later the proton SC mechanic went and chk their 'service manual', cannot find out which one is knock sensor in my car.
the he called ppl ask and open my engine cover, pointed at two very small circuits connected with some wires, said that is.
one cost RM150, another RM190.

but i flipped through their 'service manual', that two things written there as O2 sensor.
sound to me knock sensor n O2 sensor are two different thing...
i asked him, he said name is not a problem ...wat lau ehh ...

Hi,
I'm going to change a clutch set of my 9 years-old waja 1.6.
I went to a proton service center last week,it was about RM700 for clutch plates,cover,bearing,gear oil and labour.
but when i ask a mech nearby my place, he said install other brand one cost ~RM450+
in fact, other than the price diff, i dunno what's the "inside" difference of both ...
any expert here can give me some comments which to choose?

Proton Waja 1.6 Engine Indicator Light Problem

zsjay — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:18:10 +0800

Hi,I have a waja 1.6.
recently it was faulty at the radiator, heat n water boiling on highway
but then still manage to drive toward a workshop. Then the serviceguy found out
it was a coolant pipe leaking n changed.

Well, that problem solved. But when i took back my car and go back to highway again,
throughout my journey(~100km/h) the engine indicator light (nx to the fuel indicator)remain on.
i park aside, turn off engine and restart, the light go off, but when i speed up again, it comes back.
and when driving in town,going slow, it didnt happen.
i asked the same serviceguy, he said no problem? sure o not...
anyone know what does the indicator light mean in this setting?

and one more problem, in town driving, when i change into 3rd gear and above,
and i press the fuel pedal, i can hear shaking noise from the front.
not like normal engine sound, probably is some sort of fan or wat,
especially when going up, eg. a 10% slope.
then the car is like not enough energy to climb.
does any one know what is the problem?
Thanks a lot.

my poor old waja...
