I BOUGHT THIS FROM JAPAN LAST YEAR AND LATELY I HAVE THIS ENGINE FAULT FLASHING ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. APOLOGIES FOR MY IGNORANCE HERE BUT THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE AND I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT VEHICLES SO I AM HOPING BY JOINING THIS SITE SOMEONE WOULD ASSIST ME.

I AM FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA AND I LIVE IN PORT MORESBY.

THANKS,

REX

engine faulty

hi -

do you have a "GDI" engine in your io?

if so it is likely running on too low octane fuel - you need to run it on the highest octane available (98-100RON)

remove the air intake pipe from the throttle body and have a look inside - if it's got carbon build up you'll need to get some spray throttlebody cleaner and try and wash it off.

GDI's don't like crap fuel and struggle most places outside japan or where fuel is not A+ grade - we cannot even run them in Australia
