I recently bought a Japan Suzuki Swift 1.3 (YOM 2005). After I drive it for around 20kms, it indicates the check engine indicator and at the time engine will give a noticable miss. Usually this happens when I accelerate bit more after slowing down. After sometime, the indicator turns off and engine will come back to normal. Sometimes if i try to start the engine after i turned it off, it doesnt start at all. And this issue won't indicate when we scanned it.
Here's what I have done so far. I have changed spark plugs and the coils. Changed the fuses in the fuse box to all original japan fuses. Replaced the cam sensor.
So far nothing has worked. My elecrical guy's opinion is that we should replace the control box.
If any of you guys has come across this kind of issue or if you can think of something, please share.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
