When pumping the tire, the air from the pump does not seem to get into the tire. When I remove the pump from the tire valve, can hear a loud stream of air coming out from the pump. Need to go through about 3-4 times before I hear the ting ting sound that the tires are fully pumped. Why is there such difficulty.

My battery is only around 1 yr 1 mth. early morning start is instant, but when I start it after stopping for 5 mins or when engine is warm. Is it the battery or ?

Previously been experiencing difficulty in starting from time to time (few weeks once). It goes like this, Physically Crank .......-no response for 2-3secs-...... then the cranking sound starts and engine is started without any coughing. Yesterday the problem got worse. It goes like this, Physically Crank .......-no response for 2-3secs-...... cranking sound starts but comes with coughing .......-no response again for 2-3secs-...... cranking sound starts again and engine started with some difficulty. Is this straight out battery needed to be replaced or something wrong with my starter motor?

AS ABOVE.

I encountered a new problem upon reaching Port Dickson 2 days back: 1) Difficult to start - the engine normally just fires up at the turn of the ignition, but after parking for 1 hour at the resort carpark, the engine refused despite a few series of cranking. At the end, I got the car started after applying gas through the pedal. It's still the same today. 2) Idling is uneven - when in the past the engine will turn at 850rpm thereabouts (with or without aircon), now the rpm fluctuates between 700~1000, depending on the aircon. Vibration can also be pronouncely felt the cabin, when in the past such intrusions were completely absent. Everything goes back to normal once on the run - no power loss, smooth pickup and cruising....till the next stop. Thinking back, I can only relate this symptom to one thing I did wrongly. 2 weeks ago, the engine was idling quietly when I absent-mindedly cranked the engine. There was that all familiar sandy-rasping sound, but nothing happened at that point. Anyone can advice what could have gone wrong?

I have been experiencing difficulty in starting my engine for a few weeks now. the problem is not constant. sometimes start without a hint of problem, sometimes can't start. The problem is when i crank the engine, it will either: 1) keep on cranking like there's no fuel supply, 2) have a choking feeling. like wanna start but can't, and can feel e engine jerking, 3) start but after a few secs, will jerk and then stall or 4) crank a few secs, jerk a bit, then start without a prob. No difference whether i start the car: 1) when cold, 2) when warmed up, 3) in the day or at night, 4) after car parked for many hours or 5) immediately after shutting off the engine. it is just random. as and when it likes. Car is a Manual 07 lancer GLX 1.6 Brought to mechanic and still unable to rectify the problem. mechanic checked fuel pump, fuel regulator, injector, ECU, battery, fuel pressure and all seemed to be running fine. Any ideas anyone?

If you have difficulty understanding the current world financial situation, the following should help... Once upon a time in a village in India, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it ! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: 'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50.' The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere ! Now, welcome to WALL STREET. And now that is what's happening to the world finance crisis.... causing a big giant bubble brust....in thin air....... Cheers!

Hi guys. I have the problem of difficulty starting engine before. It was solved after the last servicing (the mechanic did not find anything wrong when I brought it in, but the problem went away, and we still don't know why), but it has come back the last few days. The problem is: 1. After parking the car for a few hours 2. Put in the key and turn - radio comes on 3. When I turn somemore to start the engine, nothing happens. There is no sound from the engine AT ALL. No "rrr" "rrr" "rrr" of the engine trying to start. Just a soft click. 4. To start the engine, I need to completely turn back the key (switching off the radio), then turn back again. Only then it starts. 5. The problem seems to go away if I step on the gas pedal a few times before I try to start the engine. I wonder if any of you guys have a clue as to what might be the problem? Thanks in advance! PS. I already blip the throttle before I switch off the engine.
