Today 19th Dec all my car parts are fixed then tried to start still no sign of firing. Check one after the other from coil,sparkplugs all seems not firing, then check my alarm system wiring, computer, still can'nt find any trouble then ask the staff to change the relay or what ever at the firewall the one at the side of petrol relay (white) in colour still no sign and off I cabut frustrated, Then I received a call saying that they found a wire damage under the fuse box at the engine bay (yet for me to see) I was wondering what wire burn or what tomorrow morning. he call the wireman to do it, I have told them use a proper wire connecter if any wire change no such thing as cut and joint wrap over like what many wireman did. Hope that is the problem at least I know what the actual problem but koyak probably 2K barang alone 1500plus. I did a top overhaul. I will update again after i get my car. If that is true I my pulley sensor means still good as it cost 250 now. Spare lah.

At last I am satisfied and happy driving again today 20th Dec.
All was cause by an ageing car, there is a wire right underneath the fuse box located at the back of the glove compartment suppost to be the main wire that carry the electrical to the other supply of the engine such as coil, sparkplugs and others was burn or eaten slowly (lucky not on fire) as I had problems since Raya of and on I had starting problem lastly landed at home totally dead, was lucky not on fire. The wireman says of ageing it was heated main supply of current. he did the changing but I did not see but instructed to use proper connecter if any wires cut and join for safety.

After all done it fires and I had done my top overhaul gone $2400 all in all. I am happy got the root of the problem and thanks to all of you who in one way or another guided me in a way, so now my sensor pullay is still good and I have to keep as spare as was not that problem anyway. Very Happy

Call lah if you are around aRRrgghh why not.

Here come back with my car problem after running a few days start the starting problem again but still at home not elsewhere but I can start by cranking the starter and lastly totally can't start. Got the doctor again he clean up and check all conection it works again till today but I am still not happy and worry with it as I can smell like wire burnt smell when I stop and they say its the gasket glue smell but I am not happy and worry everyday, dare not drive out of Seremban and done over 500kms, now my next move is changing my whole fuse box including all the wiring loems as of the burn wires are under the box and melted the bottom and 1 off my relay also melt so I will not risk my car and wanted to change the box and see how it goes as its the heart of electricity supply. One of our members got one in KL from a chop shop at RM250 with all the wires together, hope it will works well as I see even when I on my small lights with the fog lights it is slow action not as before so I think something to do with the connection at the box. this is a lesson we learn from an ageing car bit by bit.

Back here after so long I was away and now its for everbody to learn thru what I have gone thru.

Now my car had been done and tested after I change my fusebox which really is the main problem where the bottom was eatten slowly and my guess was right, the burn smell was from there and a leason to my mech. its one in a million so I told him open one by one the joint conector to the box and replace it, wireman scared to do it so he did it himself I left my car to him and off to Jakarta for a week and ask him to use the car day and night and was okay. after all done my lights are britter and all function better, now I drive with confident day and night and my longest drive last week Wednesday to Friday I drove to Kuala Kedah for Langkawi back at night all the way reach Seremban at 1.45am consider daring juga I and I am happy with it. So wiring is hell to check millions of tinny wires in it, after driving all other cars back to my e30 is the best even I drove a C200 I still enjoy my e30 the best lah. I wii try to upload the picture of my fusebox soon as haven't taken pictures yet its still in my booth.
