Er... Super bad news
i think one of the member here blown his engine today. and i think mine also did. but not sure.
i hear a snap sound when i go out from a traffic light. i hear a snap sound. and the car got no power, only run on second gear. i thought it was the belting. but i found out it was not when i got home. but funny thing is no light is on. no CEL , no coolant light. but when i open the bonnet, no water. i wonder whats wrong. =_='' blow engine?
Try to start back my car and it is hard to do so. but i did start the car and no light was on. but the car keep on vibrating. the rpm go up and down. 800 - 1500
blown 2 engine in 1 day?!

Ahem....Ahem..... maybe shud play with Scooby Ver.9 and keep 8 at home...... Hahahaha.......

I am sorry to hear that.... you mentioned about no water... I assume that was your radiator? I suspect you have a leak radiator, did you fill it up and check? Overheat? let's keep our fingers crossed and hopefully the check-up later will give you a better news than blown engine...

boony Thanks man really appreciate your help.
1. its a snap sound, like something putus.
engine oil, drive belt is ok, water coolant is actually ok, cause it was hot at the time, so cannot see the water at the reserve tank.
2. not grinding sound, more like vibrating sound. may be consider gumble.
3. cause its vibrating badly so i cannot identify whether is any rattle.
4. the car reving around 800 - 1500 rpm, i cannot hear any hissing sound.
but:
• Vacuum leakage - don't know how to check
• Spark plug looseness - seem ok from outside
• Intake-air system leakage - cannot see any loosen hose and part.
• Variable fresh air duct (VFAD) control system operation (13B-MSP (High Power))
i think this one only manual have. auto dun have.
5. yes there is a roaring sound.
6. will let u know

====================REVIEWED====================== ======
Post Edited. cause it is different when i try to start it back. i put the car at idle P. not at D.
boony Thanks man really appreciate your help.
*** i can start the car, but it will die after a few second, sounds normal but no power, unless i push on the fuel pedal. the car maintain at idleing RPM when idling. vibrate and die***
My second review:
1. 1. its a snap sound, like something putus.
engine oil, drive belt is ok, water coolant is actually ok, cause it was hot at the time, so cannot see the water at the reserve tank.
2. Is rumble or grinding noise present?
Cannot consider grinding and rumble noise. its more like normal rotary sound. the car start for a while and dead.
3. no rattle noise
4. YES i do hear hissing noise from the bottom of the car when it start. but it sound like normal engine start with a bit of hissing.
• Vacuum leakage - still waiting for mech
• Spark plug looseness - still waiting for mech, but unlikely
• Intake-air system leakage - checked myself, no problem
• Variable fresh air duct (VFAD) - auto dun have
5 Is rap or roar noise present? - nope
6 Is knocking noise present? - nope

=====Mechanic A====== not rotary mechanic.
when pressing the fuel pedal, the engine won't die off. tested by removing 1 caable by a time. suspected problem is the spark plug cable is blown or burnt. without proper tools cannot check the engine pressure.
to be continue tomorrow.......
