My Proton Iswara Lmst - Fc Teruk
#1
Posted 05 May 2010 - 09:57 AM
I recently bought one second hand unit, LMST model year 2005 from a car dealer. Condition is good, but the big problem is the terrible FC! For a full tank of RM70 (RON95 at RM1.80/litre current price) I get only about 350km with very very gentle driving mostly in town with little or no traffic jams. I believe this model should give around 450km per tankful based on the kind of driving my son (it's for him to drive to college etc).
I have tried everything I know, like replacing the stupid rear exhaust, changing the rims/tyres to 13" 165", and finally getting the carburettor serviced although I am not if the young mechanic did anything serious work on the carb. I have in mind to get rid of this thing although I will suffer a loss of a few thousand, but my son thinks that we should get a good mechanic to fix it up properly, as he prefers to drive a 'normal sized' car as opposed to a Kancil or a Viva etc.
Can anyone here please help me recommend a competent mechanic? Any suggestions please? Btw, I am in PJ area.
Thank you.

Agreed , guess you gonna retune then afterall . Your f/c are really bad . by the way , have you check your fuel filter coz a clogged/dirty one will also cause high f/c ,too .
