It certainly could be, but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion so quickly. Leave such diagnosis' to the pros, who often zero in on the most expensive component without proper troubleshooting.

Typically, troubleshooting would start with seeing if you can get a spark at the spark plug. Then work back from that (assuming the starter is turning the engine over properly). This means spark plug, leads, disributor cap, distributor rotor, electrical continuity to the distributor and coil. About the last thing on the list is the (expensive) ECU.

    Thank you so if it's a computer box how can it be fixed

  • bayou sam Nov 12, 2017

    Definite maybe. If it's a simple macro component like an obviously burnt out resistor or capacitor, then the damaged component can be replaced by an electrician. But more often than not, it's an integrated circuit (chip) or obscure fault on the motherbard, that only someone with the proper equipment can diagnose. The Proton is not sophisticated enough to display fault codes in its intrument cluster, as far as I know. ECUs can also sometimes develop firmware faults, that a reprogramming will solve. Again, this calls for specialist diagnosis. You can definitely find out if the ECU is at fault by locating a similar one and swapping it out to test. Locating a spare known-to-be-functional one is probably easier said than done though.

SOURCE: hi hope you can help i have a proton jumbuck and

it is possible that you have a blown fuse, HIGH & LOW beams are usually on different fuses, most likely for safety reasons so as if either one blows at least you still have lights, check the fuses in the fuse box......hope this helps......cheers.

SOURCE: My car runs fine until warm but when aircon is turned on my car and steering wheel vibrates and revs drop to 0.7-0.500 revs?it is a 2003 proton jumbuck with 148k on it.

Probably a bad bearing on the A/C compressor. Replace the compressor. Bearing is on the inside, not the pulley bearing.

I own a 2003 proton jumbuck ute and want to replace drive shafts, the outer wheel end not a problem but need to know what I have to do to release drive shafts from gearbox end. thank you for your time

most cv axles or held in the gear box /diff by a round sectioned circlip at the end of the splines in the diff
once you have the axle free of the hub and bearings use a heavy hammer on the back side of the cv joint or a heavy slide hammer attached to the end of the axle
you have to compress that circlip so that it allows the axles to slide out
