Should I kill myself now? I’m not absolutely not happy with how things are going with this budget project car. Just when I thought I’ve fixed the problem areas that have been plaguing me since purchase, they’re back. Yes, again, I’m having some idling and starting problems yet again leading me to believe that the only way to finally solve this is to either 1) replace the whole engine control system with brand new genuine parts or 2) smash it to bits like what Jeremy Clarkson does.

However, I’m not some multi-millionaire English bloke who has access to a fat bank account and supercars galore. I’m just an ordinary person who works a 9 to 5 with very limited budget to spend on a car.

Now, I’m thinking whether it’s the AAC valve again since I bought it from a scarp yard surplus part. But heck, it’s totally crazy given that the problem went away when we replaced it. So it might be the ECU and it might be the old engine wiring harness. I’m starting to be convinced that the car wasn’t exactly a decent buy at all. And I’m pissed off.
