School holiday is approaching, this marks the time for a long-time pending project -> body paint!
I'm still 18/19 on colour choice. Personally I like 896 Bluewater, but my wife says Bluewater is still half-silver and so she prefers Silverstone Blue.
Anyway, during the upcoming school break, I also need to get a few new problems taken care of too.
1. car jerks uncontrollably in mornings first ignitions
- this happens when driving normally with clutch fully released, at 10-30kph speed, it would just jerk until I depress clutch to try "balancing" it. Symptom goes away after car has warmed up and will recur only the next morning / cold start.
- this could happen on 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear
2. car jerks when resuming speed
- this happens when cruising normally at a given speed, release gas pedal follow by gently / normally resuming or maintaining speed by depressing the gas pedal.
- this happens intermittently, could happen at 3rd, 4th or 5th gear.
3. quite whining sound heard from outside, when car cruises by herself at low speed
- this happens when slowing down (eg via engine braking)
- very noticeable especially driving around my neighbourhood at quiet late nights, at a certain low speed, switch to 2nd or 3rd gear, release clutch, release gas pedal, let car cruises but herself, wind down window I can hear her "singing".
So far I've heard advices that all the above could be due to:
1. clutch - recently replaced
2. MAF dirty
3. O2 sensors
4. gas pedal (position sensor)
5. ??
6. ??
Well I hope to post solid answer(s) after school reopens
Cheers.
