[QUOTE="han2u, post: 10014, member: 4998"] The past 2 weeks my M20B20 engine (1989, manual tranny) has been conking off at very inconvenient locations. Generally the circumstances are like this:[LIST][*]On the road, bumper-to-bumper jam, aircon full blast, hot day. Temp gauge at half-way mark. [*]Free gear because traffic not moving at the moment and cant feel my left foot anymore. [/LIST] All of a sudden the engine revs briefly to about 2500-3000rpm and dies off. Very very difficult to start after this, engine turns but doesnt fire. Leave it alone for about 10mins, crank the engine and it starts and drive like nothing happened. What the hell. My most embaressing moment was during buka puasa rush back hour, right in the middle of the road at the Subang Jaya KTM station (behind Carrefour). I hope not too many batal puasa from cursing at me that day. I know I should haul it to the mechanic and will do so after Raya. I am not using it during the holidays. Any takes on whats wrong? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
