Hi all,
Thought since there the same motor you E-series ppl can help me (My EB is going better than the AU) Just bought an AU series 1 forte wagon 155kms. Here's my problem... On driving the car from startup it shakes like all hell. only stops when the car is is pushed (Beyond 3,000rpm). Just crusing along at 2000rpms be it on the freeway or on suburban roads it shakes unless you back of the accelerator completly or give it a fair bit. It kinda put puts, and stutters/hesitates. It also seems to have reduced power. Im thinking that maybe it needs a new Calytic Converter. But if anyone has any ideas or knows the problem please help me!!! Thanks alot. Jonny. |

mine did have a similar problem when i overfilled the oil once, but it only did it for about 30 seconds.
another problem mine had that made the car run like **** was the leads crossfiring. at idle is was ok sometimes, but under any load the car would missfire like there was no tomorow. try new plugs and leads. will cost you the wrong side of 100 though... cya Ben |

hmmm im begining to think the worst and thinking that maybe this car is a real dud... Im thinking maybe one of the cyclinders has gone and the car is only running on 5.
Any ideas on how much this costs to fix? do i need a whole new motor? |

Is it on gas?
Did you replace the usual, plugs and leads and/or check them? Did you check the engine mounts? Have you changed/inspected your fuel filter and what state is the fuel pump in? Timing out? Checked head gasket/compression tested?? Cat converter??....... |
