Ok i know this is probably not only the wrong section but the wrong website however typing in swiftsaustralia.com didn't turn up anything so I'm just going to try my luck here, as most of you know i'm in Brissy visiting my GF who unfortunately doesn't exactly take care of her car all that well, so when I'm here i try to give it as much TLC as I can. About 3-4 months ago the car started behaving really badly it would stutter and jerk a lot, after we changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs it improved dramatically but its still stuttering especially when you have the pedal to the floor with low rev's (Like in a higher gear or going up a hill). Also it feels a bit low on power at first I thought it might be because I went from my pride and joy to hers but she also says it feels a little down although it does seem to pull a little harder when it achieves higher rev's. I'm still trying to find the fuel filter and replace that but other then that hope you guys have some good input

I'd say bad batch of Fuel. Or even water in the fuel (which a squirt of Metho will fix.

Failing that maybe try resetting the ECU. Disco the battery, and press the brake pedal for 20 odd seconds, reconnect the battery and go for a good drive.

The Finance has a 2007 Swift S, and it's been poster child for reliability....a FWD nightmare for me, but bloody reliable. :P (it's service regime is YEARLY :) )

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
