for carburated cars pwede tulak or (kadyo) it will start for injected maybe you can call a friend for help ( jumper cables )

if it happeneds late in the evening call your family member/relatives or friend who has a car to assist you, and ask him to bring a pair of jump leads... remember to connect them in order (good battery to bad battery; live (+) to earth (-) preferable if the earth is connected to the engine block or a chassis member...

if your a member of any automotive club or association like wheelers or AAP just call them up and they will provide assistance to you...

and if you have enough dough, just call up motolite, they can deliver a new set of battery to you wherever you are...

Your Revo is a diesel and diesels don't have carburators. I am assuming your Revo has a manual transmission. Correct ba? You should be able to push start it. Don't know why it did not work. If you will use jumper cables, you need good quality ones for diesel engines. Higher ampere capacity. Check mo na lang manual mo for correct procedure. But its basically + to + and - to ground. And make sure that the car with the good battery is reved up before starting the dead car.

Teka, clarify ko lang, did the engine die and fail to start while you were already driving? or paalis ka pa lang ayaw na mag start?

[3sgTe]

yep.. it did not work sa tulak maybe im dumb also with that.. db pg tulak kapag medyo metulin na takbo start the engine in primera we even tried 2nd gear... no response.. mga ilang years po ba buhay ng battery the one i got here is the oriental turbo./.,
Thanks talaga sa mga reply and advices!..

i stopped over to wait for my girlfriend at their house then nung pgswitch ko sa keys waiting for the ignition coil to fade nagflufluctuate yung gauge lights ko pati stereo.. then when i started the engne it fails.. hanggang ilang beses ayaw pa rin..

live (+) to earth (-) preferable if the earth is connected to the engine block or a chassis member...

NO, this is wrong. (+) to (-) results in a shorted battery which can lead to explosion of the battery (and acid burns on your face!)

the right jumper cable connections are (+) of good battery to (+) of discharged battery, and (-) of good battery to ground point of car with discharged battery, then start the car with the good battery, rev up to around 2000 rpm, then start the car with the dead battery.

kung diesel with manual tranny yan then you don't even need to use jumper cables as you can push-start it. put the gear in 2nd or 3rd (easier on 3rd than on 2nd, very hard to do on 1st gear), step on the clutch fully, have someone push the vehicle then release the clutch when the speed is high enough. be sure to be ready to pump the accelerator when the engine starts.

check your alternator, baka sira na alternator mo kaya na-discharge ang battery. check also your elecrical connections baka grounded.

another advice, since your ride is a diesel, it will be a good idea to have a can of starting fluid in your tool box. kung wala ka makita na starting fluid sa auto supply then a can of wd40 will do. when you get stalled due to a weak battery, open the air filter housing, remove the air filter and spray some starting fluid/wd40 into the intake manifold. (note: if the engine has a turbocharger find a plug after the turbo that you can open and spray the starting fluid direct to the intake manifold.) install back the filter before you try to jump start/push start the engine. it is easier to start an engine with a weak battery this way since the starting fluid does not need much compression to fire up the engine. do not use too much starting fluid as too much can damage the intake valves. just press the spray button on the aerosol can for 3-4 seconds and that will be enough to rev the engine to start.

meron yata ako nakita sa ace hardware last time. di lang ako bumili at gasoline naman car ko.

be careful kayo sa pag jumpstart ng EFI cars...baka ma-overload ang ECU ng lakas ng kuryente.

and kung hihingi kayu ng jumpstart, dapat buhay ang mahina ng sasakyan.

nga pala, di pwede kadyutin ang matic, (carb man or EFI/diesel) connected ang starter sa P at N lang.

Bro muntik pa tayong magkasabay, papunta din akong San Pablo kahapon for a meeting with our highschool classmates dyan sa san gabriel.

HERE MY ADVICE TO START YOUR ENGINE WITH JUMP LEADS...

1. Connect one end of the red jump lead to the positive terminal of the other car's battery. (colored red or marked with a P or a+ sign).

2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.

3. Connect one end of the black lead to the negative terminal of the other battery. (colored Black or marked with an N or a- sign)

4. Connect the other end of the black lead to the cylinder block or some other place where it will be in contact with the negative terminal of the discharged battery.

*NOTE: BATTERY OF THE OTHER CAR SHOULD BE AT THE SAME VOLTAGE.

Tulak lang =)

The manufacturers of most modern automobiles prohibits push starting even for manual transmission models. The reason is stated in the manual. Something about wreaking havoc on your emissions control system (?).

For older vehicles, ok lang naman.

Tama yung steps outlined in the earlier post. I jumpstared a dead Ford Lynx last Feb 10 following that procedure.

yes sir tama po kayo.. even though diesel?

[OTEP]

For old school diesels, ok lang. But AFAIK, hindi na din pwede sa mga newer diesels lalo na yung may mga catalytic converters.
