Failures in acceleration. Choking, the slow oscillation and high gasoline consumption.

Already changed the spark plugs and ignition cables, ignition coils, and the problem continues. Also I noticed that my fan is locked. It must be defective in viscous coupling, and the temperature of the car is always cold.

I'll check the fuel pressure. But one problem I have here in Brazil is compatible scanner with workshop to the central injection of the Daihatsu Terios. No one has!

Hi, i have a Terios 1998 too with a similar problem and i bought a OBDII ELM327 Bluetooth scanner in usa but don´t work in this car so be carefull. My car works cold and i think thats is because a problem in the thermostat or the Temp Sensor but I don´t know how to remove them. The fan works always that the car it turned on but it´s free when the car is off so i think that it´s fine.
