[QUOTE="SkyEvo, post: 21002, member: 17519"] Hello guys..Have some issue here hope u can give some helpful opinion.. few days ago i started my car engine and it turned on without any problem but when i try to drive shortly after the cold start engaging the gear and step on the pedal the car only managed to move forward only half meter short and engine dies off immediately without warning. i then restarted the engine, also without any problem and manage to drive a little longer this time i think around 3 meters before the engine died again..the same situation repeated two more times before i decided to just start the engine and let it idle to see if it dies again.Amazingly the engine idles at 600-700rpm without dying which i then decided to test drive to see if the engine dies but it ran smoothly until now..i never face situation like this before and is still wondering what may cause the problem but i'm suspecting the fuel pump. is it the symptom of fuel pump going kaput guys? or is it symptom of other engine issues? pls help me any opinion and advise is highly appreciated :smile: Just don't want my machine to let me down on busy traffic or it'll be PITA:cool: [/QUOTE]
