Have you checked your ignition coils?

 

[leakwoon]

ya tat "ignition coils"

 

[manjit]

Possibly not enough air towards the combustion chamber. Check for clogged filter and jammed inlet(MAF or AFM). Pure indicator is the slight higher rpm against speed and perhaps more technically higher exhaust temp...Ideally the best uninstalled gadget!!!

MY Brothers,

it is true that it is the ignition coil...having it replaced as i write this...hope this is the only prevailing problem...crosss all ur fingers,toes heads etc that nothing else is gonna be a problem

Cheers guys for the advice

spot on guys!

Ade,leakwoon and manjit,

not joining the ipoh drive this saturday ah?...if free come la..fun outing...got lots of food...trust me...thats why i'm goin

dude,
did u change all coils or just the one affected (shown on the modic), coil brand?

howeva, i seriously do hope it is bcos of ignition coils. cos sometimes complications wiv yer airflow sensors or engine cld also show the fault code as mere ignition coil problem i.e Cylinder 1,2,3,4,5 or 6.

anyhow, best wishes n update us on the maintennance fees to compare notes fer future reference ok
