I know two very good workshops. Soon Kiang Motor at Defu Lane 10 Blk 13. or Choon's Motorworks. Blk 5033 AMK Ind Park 2.
Else you can go to Merlin or Riverview at AMK Autopoint 2 off AMK Ave5 for standard works...
or KST at Eunos Rd 1.
other places oso got la... but i sua ku... dunno them...

Hey guys. I've sent my car to the workshop and the mechanic told me that the problem was with the wiring in the ECU. So he fixed the wiring and now I don't seem to have the problem of not being able to start my vehicle anymore. Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas and the help guys! I really appreciate it.

Seems like alot of different stuffs tat can lead to unable to start the car. Quite intensive thou. But anyway, we can learn something from here rather than paying wad we shld nt be paying.

for esi ....
if cannot start...
crank and see rpm.. if reach 200 - 300 got firing signal. if got then OK
no reading = wiring or ecu
twist regulator nut and see if fuel spurt at ignition on. if got then OK
no fuel = fuel pump/relay spoil or ecu
spark/cable test .. place a big screwdriver into plug cable and put scredriver near car chassis then crank. if spark fly to chassis then OK
no spark = firing signal missing from ecu/distributor/ignition coil/sparkplug cable
if all this ok .. then check intake temp sensor
if still cannot! i thnk ecu liao or compression.
just a troubleshhoting guide since i learnt a bit during my esi ownership.
