[QUOTE="Tory97, post: 1064708315, member: 174588"] Greetings. I'm owning a Saga LMST 1.3 Manual 2004 full spec and been using for about 12yrs+. The problem is, this car started to have high fuel consumption, it had been top overhauled but after a year problem comes back. Engine is 4G13P running carburetor of course, no modification done on the engine. Traced back to about 5 years ago, the engine started to become unstable during morning cold start (which I believe some of my fren said is normal problem due to ageing). Not really is "unstable" but just the rpm is very low between 400 to 600 RPM, and normally after some padding on gas for about 3 minutes then become more ok. This car had been sent to many different mechanics to clean and tune the carb, and they said they "tweaked" the carb node or sth (idk), but so far I just know that there are two thing I can adjust which are the idling one and the one that when the A/C compressor is running. Alright, so idk when, I notice that after those mechanics tune lah or whatever, the RPM gets low when A/C and headlamps are running. About 5 yrs ago my dad dunno when he go and add the fake HKS brand ground cable, and at the beginning the circuit become stable and the engine RPM doesn't lower too much when A/C and headlamp running but after few months of use the problem comes back.
