Hi Guys,
Need some expert advice from here.
After having my loyal service from my nearly 5 yo pica, 2 weeks ago she decided to show signs of breaking down...
1. There is no torque in all gears, have to rev her up to 5k region to get her in the mood of acceleration to keep up with the traffic flow.
2. Cruising in highway is hectic for her, the speed varies from 100km to 60km (yes, already pedal to the metal) in gear 5 depending on the degree of slopes along the road.
3. Used to climb up MSCP in gear 2, sometimes in gear 3 (with momentum of cos), now at gear 1. On the road is like pulling a thousand cows behind.
4. Many near miss at cross junctions and u turn points where it's right for me to go but she reluctant to feed in fuel and air, drag herslef at crawling speed below 0km (yes, speedo did not move at all)
5. Mileage significantly dropped from 450km per tank to 175km per tank!
6. Her idling is normal, but sometimes can feel her being choked by something, think is short burst of hiccups.
7. No sinus problem as mechanic already checked her nose, using stock airbox and fliter, the power is there but simply cannot unleash it to her fullest potential, looks like something is locking it all up.
8. Just changed the fuel filter to new one, to my horror old one is soooooooo dirty!
9. Just changed the sparks plug, felt she improved abit but the same sluggish attitude came back to haunt me when I switched on the ac. She float like a butterfly without her ac on, after ac on she crawl like a worm!
Been cracking my head with my mech for the past 2 weeks,
she went for her regular 10k servicing without a miss,
not her crankshaft problem,
nor her fuel pump problem,
nor her throttle body problem,
nor her clutch / gearbox problem,
nor her battery problem,
maybe it just the cat converter problem or her exhaust got sabo buy some @#$%?
Please, it's not the time to get rid of her yet, she is going to stay with me for at least 2 yrs or if can even longer. :1 (so don't advice me to change my ride ok)
Anyone got such problem before? Can able to advice me what to do next? Install CAI? Change exhaust? (aiya inspection coming at end of year)
Or maybe shall i revisit my mech after chinese 7th month? *bleah ("pantang" sia)
