Engine lag at sloped traffic junction
kt:
The workshop is at Sin Ming Autocare, #01-08, name of workshop is Kian Teong Auto Centre. Name of the boss is Mike. His no is 98760818. You can say Kok Tong introduced you. He told me that apparently, many Latios face this prob. He said that the ECU will go crazy after either changing of car battery or cleaning of throttle body. I did these two recently so maybe that explains why my car was so sluggish.
kt:
Just an update. I've been driving two full tanks now and my FC is 12km/l, which is a marked improvement from my previous FC of 9km/l :yehyeh: :yehyeh: Power and pick up is definitely much better than before. Will continue to monitor my FC and responsiveness of the car.

what is the price for re-tune?
kt:
The boss charged me $80, same price as what TCM charged me. But I think u'd better call and ask before u go down coz the boss told me he charged $120 for those workshops who sent their Latios for him to re-tune.
Okay I have been driving for 5 full tanks and have been monitoring my FC. It is 12km/l +. So I think the FC shd be pretty stable by now. The lagging also no longer appears when stuck in jams. So my hypothesis for my case is that it's the ECU issue, coz I recently changed my battery and clean the throttle body, both of which the workshop boss said could make original settings of the ECU go off.
I also sent my car for re-tuning at TCM before, but the poor FC and lagging reappear after a week or so. I guess they did not re-tune the ECU when the engine has totally cooled. Just my guess only.

Folks.. this is my experience...
my 07 Latio cannot start moving at traffic light....
check it - Gear box problem....
I needed a re-con gear box at 3500.
if I overhaul the gear box - then it will be more and 7 days...
At tan chong - it replace gear box at 13,000 !
this is a big problem...
