Do you mean all those are stock without any mod?? Check light will always there If it's turbo. For ignition coil, you must check whether all omps are equally the same, O2 sensor oni can be check by OBDII tester, there's compression test too....... If your frens don't mind, pay Ah Choy fly over for checking, he got tools......

OMG, no wonder the stupid CEL came on, must be the steering problem then (i didn't know steering prob would ignite the CEL...got connection ah?). it's really not big of a hassle, just have to warm up the car then it's fine. i can live with that, actually....and i thought the CEL came up had to do with my changing of spark plugs when i got them changed a month back...
Can you share with me who is Ah Choy? You got his contact? Where to get aftermarket steering rack? RM 4k is expensive man...i'm selling the dumb car.

Yeap, i'm talking about steering check light....... If it's engine check light, most probably are ignition coil and O2 sensor....... But some how i think ignition has something to do with steering malfunction, stable voltage is very important.....

normally u don't straight go for a change for the steering wheel rack...
if just vibration during cold start ......
check the wiring harness and connectors 1st
you just pull the airbox out and the two connectors are staring you right in the face
One of the connectors is power for the rack itself and has two wires running through it.
The other is a 3-pin connector that carries the torque sensor data.
clean them.... check if the wires are in good condition.... if they are not.... change them lor.... still cheaper than changing the steering rack.
if all fails then only change the steeering rack....
