Hi Bros,
A couple of months ago, I noticed that when I start up my car, the cranking seems very weak. This only happen when I parked my car for a couple of days. I have just changed my car battery and had a VSD installed. Could it be that my spark plugs need replacement?
Many thanks.
Elvin

Elvin, When you encounter weak cranking of engine this show sign that your battery voltage had drop and weaken, Few things you need to check, any electronic devices in your vehicle is drawing current during parking for couple of days, but just couple of days it should not have weaken your battery so much. Spark plugs will not give you weak cranking of engine even when they need replacement.

I think I could be something that is drawing currently continuously. VSD only starts working when the engine is turned on. You have anything else?

i encounter this from my ride before w VSD..
less than 1yr batt FYI.
weak cranking for few days...dun even bother since can drive n go...
suddenly one day... cannot even start car at kopi shop.... call alex to ask abt VSD if gives such problem... he ask me to disconnect 02 wirings from the VSD n direct connect 2 of the wirings (bypass the VSD)
crank...start...problem settled.
verdict - VSD has given up on me...
i tot VSD does affect cranking...in my case.

Thanks bros for your replies.
Other than the VSD, I have the Pivot MegaRezin. I remember Alex once help me to install the Relay for my VSD. Perhaps my VSD going up lorry soon? Think I should go to Alex to have it removed and test?

that time my VSD (less than 1 yr old) failed, too ... same symptons as bro Mindbox
i give up on buying a new one (though it helps to improve the acceleration) ... since the warranty is only for 6 months ... and if it is so not durable, forget it, save the $$ for other stuff
