Check out the spark plugs... Significant loss of power between 2000-5000rpm range, then engine kept stalling. Anyway, it's been fixed!

You didn't get the new style leading plugs. Didn't they have the engine recall in Singapore?
2nd from the right is the worst looking plug I've ever seen...

Here are mine, pulled at 78000 km but the leading plugs were replaced in the recall at 48000 km

I'd recommend checking the coil and wire for the bad looking plug

Hi, what's your ride ? AT or MT ? My ride is also about 32k km, think better go check mine.

Best thing I did was to change the plugs and the air filter (after 41K km -- the fuel consumption improved significantly.

I just changed my plugs to the new style at 20,000 km, the original one looks exactly like yours but the condition was actually OK... looks like yours fuel and oil was not burned properly. I have also changed the spark plug to autoexe sport plug, clean the trottle, check the coil... all in order. The car is even more responsive now ;-)

You were right about the ignition coil... one of them was busted, so had that changed along with the spark plugs.

I have a 6MT from MM. Didn't hear anything about an engine recall. though... had to pay to replace all these parts at MM... which was pretty expen$ive.
