Self Tunning - Khyber G-10 (Plugs, valve clearance, spark gap etc)

[speedster_101]

When I start my car in the morning, it gives a strange type of crank sound.
The sound is exactly similar to the sound produced when you try to start a car whose engine is already running. Can anyone please tell me what is this problem and is it harmful?

As I wrote earlier, my left headlight need to be repaired and I want to remove the head light. I tried a lot to remove it but could not because its two screws are under the fender.
Have I to remove the fender or there is some other way to open those head light screws which are hidden under the fender?

I suppose you have opened up the two nuts from back of the head light (inside engine bay).

If you are sure about the screws under the fender then you can approach them by removing the plastic mud guard shield inside the fender.

ijaz bhai,got the speedometer changed today..
got meter with RPM..
problem with meter r as follows..
1.
RPM of car shows 0 wen car is still in idle position n strted.it rises wen acclerator is pressed but as soon as i move foot off acclerator,rpm needle falls to almost zero....the guy whom i got this fixed says the prob is due to coil,ive alto's coil n he says tht it produces less current than the original khyber's one..so im planning to get coil swapped of frnd n then chk too..
he connected the rpm wire to coil's positive wire,but wat if i connect it to distributor positive wire,then wudnt b the coil problem part b over??/in tht case,wats the positive wire of distributor wire color?
2nd problem is the speedo meter shows wrong speed,lyk 20kmph extra..i knw im goin at 80kmph n meter shows around 100kmph..can this b rectified???meter man ko chk krwana hy btw,whom i got installed it but just suggestions from u n xulifiqar
the meter is of swift gti n its bole on fix,just few points were changed on back of meter..meter wapis kia ja sakta hy as ive not paid yet n this was test drive:p
any ideas?

Can you please share the pics of your meter and its price.
I am also facing the problem that my meter shows 10-15 Km/hr more speed although I am using stock size 12 inch tires.
It would be nice if someone tell the solution.

[Xulfiqar]

the rpm should be off the negative wire of the coil not positive

wrangler,ill post meter pix tomorw cuz ryt now its cold to move off from computer..lol
xulifiqar,the electrician said tht coil change hy so rpm thora uper nechy show ho ra hy..ive changed original coil with alto's coil...is tht so??
n rpm wire abhi pta nae positive k sath connected hy ya negative k sath but it shows rpm,though wrong but still shows!
n plz wat abt tht wrong speedometer speed thingy?
another bro WRANGLER got this prob so ull gonna help 2 dudes here:p

Congrats on the new meter, its in my wish list too . Do inform us of its details like what it costs, fitting, availability, any pics.

I dont know about the wire codes of these meters but I know this much that RPM meter needs signal from the ignition system. The positive terminal of the coil is always ON (when the car is switched on & also when engine is running) so no signal on it but the negative terminal is actually the signal point which is activated by the signal generator through the ignitor in the distributor. So for that reason I think that the signal wire of the rpm should go on the negative of the Coil.

The +ve (Black/white) wire going to distributor is the same as the Coils so it will not do any good therefore I would not recommend you to experiment with the distributor wires as it could end in a burnt ignitor. Its very sensitive and there is no room for chance.

I think there is nothing wrong with the coil, it doesnt make any sense that RPMs are related to Coils output current.

The swift GTi came with 175/65 R13 as stock and I guess you are running 165/70 R12 so difference of around 15km/h at 100km/h is expected. Meter guys can calibrate it if its some thing else.

Ok take your time and paste the pics and also share the price.
@Smijaz
If you change your car's RIM size then there is a difference in speedometer reading. Can meter repairing guys solve this problem?
Also tell me can I install fog lights in my Khyber? There is a lot of fog nowadays.

so wat wud b the reason of rpm showin 0 wen car is still runing???
it do shows rpm wen i push car but as soon as i pick foot off acclerator it dead falls o 0...wat shud i b checkin?
n abt speedo meter,ill get tht chkd too!

hey cracked! anyone paid attention to this??

i did. thats y explained it in my post but :S

thts wat im askin..
lyk if wire is connected to positive wire even then wud the car show rpm wen accelerator pressed???
cuz agr positive may signal nae aata tou obviously wire negative sy connected hy cuz wen i press acclerator peddle ,it rises...

Tell us for sure , is it connected to +ve or -ve of the Coil.
if +ve and still giving some reading, then may be its getting EMI (electromagnetic interference) from the high tension near by at higher revs.
If -ve then something wrong with the RPM meter get it replaced.

ok.willy surely do tht tomorwo..
how to chk if its negative wire or positive?

Closely check your coil it would have + and - sign showing positive and negative side of the ignition coil.

[ahsanonline]

the negative side of coil usually is connected to the ignitor as well....i think so!

Bhaio tell me about fog lights.

rim size matters plus the tyre profile

and change the cable..

yes you can...under the number plate..or drill in bumper..just like in GTI..and place 1 there
