[QUOTE="jarance, post: 447641, member: 21"] If you are planning to change the ATF and filter, check the solenoids as well. I think the solenoid cost about RM180 per piece. If budget is a constraint, there are some people who clean the fine mesh of the solenoid. However, if the coil is faulty, then you have to change it. Since you have "play" with the air filter, check whether you have install it back properly. A improper installation of the air filter will cause dirty air to get in the system and contaminate the MAF reading. How long have you have your air filter? How did you clean it? Is there any holes or broken rubber at the side? Even though air filter is a relatively simple thing, it might cause some problem to the performance of the car. BTW, what type of filter is yours? standard or aftermarket like K&N? You can try to clean the MAF as it a simple job to do to eliminate the probable cause. Sometime changing spark plug and ignition coil would also help. The reason for the above is simple. Overhaul or changing the GB is the last resort because it will cost you a lot of money. [/QUOTE]
