Battery Or Starter?

[ambotech]

My friend get to his car, tried to start the engine, nothing happen only clicking sound heard, after trying several times. The engine eventually starts. He often experiencing this. What probably the problem?? Low battery or starter problem???

[JohnM]

Kung one click lang most probable problem is starter. Have starter checked. Solenoid or brushes might be worn out.

Kung maraming sunod-sunod na click battery na yan.

check also the batt terminal by re-tightening it.

Ambotech, u can go to a battery shop and have them check yung batt kung me juice pa. Baka kasi matagal na rin at due for replacement.

check mo din baka madumi ang battery clamp/terminal ,
baka may mga corrosions ,

It happens on my old 90 corolla...various click then starts...then several days with just one click...it's not a battery coz its new...have overhauled starter but its the same problem...that happens until I sold it...feedback from the buyer that it's a loose body ground hehehhe.

nakalimutan nga pala mention kung gas or diesel engine ang ride

sa diesel kasi meron din glow plug pag ayw mag start

hehe. Kaya pag nagloloko ang electrical ko, other than the obvious battery terminals, pinapa-check ko buong electrical system eh. Minsan it's hard to tell 'tsaka minsan putol na wire lang, tirik ka na!

Nangyari din sakin to Last Monday, ang aga kong umalis ng bahay tapos ala 1KM natakbo ko, medyo traffic kc eh, namantay ang makina tapos try ko start 2-3 times kaso ayaw mag start, kala ko sa high tension wire or spark plug, try ko galaw-galawin ung high tension wire tapos, try ko start ulit, kaso ayaw pa rin mag start, din tawag ako ng mikaniko, eh nasa gitna pa naman ako ng kalsada, biglang haba ng traffic, mga after 20 minutes nag try ulit akong mag start ng engine, tapos ayon, nag start din. may napansin akong wire sa battery terminal ng ground pa punta sa engine body, mukhang maluwag nga kc i'm planning to replace a terminal lug for that. buti nalang nakita ko d2 sa thread na to problem ng auto ko.

check ko bukas wiring.

happy weekend

Sa Honda 2000 Vtec tatlo grounding, yung isa nandun sa may battery na ground s chassis..den yung dalawa nandun s malpit s engine cover na ground sa may bandang harapan.

[benzoyl]

ganyan din saakin.. click lang minsan. pero yung saakin naman, it has something to do with the fuel pump. kelangan ina antay ko yung bomba ng fuel pump matapos before ko i start. napansin ko kasi na kapag start ko while bumo bomba ng fuel, nag cli click lang..


yung sa corolla namin, ganyan din.. yun nga.. yung grounding and batter terminal. pinalitan ng de pihit rather than de-screw.. yung ground, bumili kami ng grounding kit. 1k lang naman yun..

I'm having this exact same problem right now.
I stop the car at the house, then when I go to start it, it won't start, It just clicks. So, I get a jumper and have my car battery jumped. Yan, ayos na. I went to Tagaytay, ok na ok. I went home and parked the car outside the house. WHen I went to start the car to bring it in the garage, I just hear click lang.

I cleaned my terminals. But, after I jump it, it works. So, what's the problem with my car? I'm taking it to my uncle's place tomorrow to have it checked out. I guess I can rule out the starter, so, it might be the battery and wirings? This all started after I took it to Rapide by the way....a week later.
I know they screwed around with my wiring..because my speakers turn off when I hit bumps.

[LHV]

Better check your wirings din, madali lang naman yun minutes lang di kapapawisan kailangan mo lang ng tester

share ko lang yung nangyari sa pick up ko akala namin battery kasi luma na din pero nung pinalitan ng bago after some days ayaw na mag start yun pala yung connection lang ng alternator ang naputol kaya di nakakargahan yung battery

[jundogg]

same issue here. un lancer 79 ko. usually quick start lang sha, pero after ma-stock at hindi magamit un car for several days, yan na. kanina ko lang din naexperience na hindi na magstart and long cranking sound lang.tinulak ko nagstart naman agad makina. nun pinatay ko uli nagstart din naman agad, pero later tonight nun papaalis nako, yaw na uli magstart! my bad is, kulang sa rev kanina nun nagstart na. i think it's more on the batt, baka nadischarge ng kaunti kaya mahina cranking power to start up the engine.
normally kasi, mga 13V plus ang kelangan ng makina to start. pag lower, di talaga kaya. im sure pag jimumper ko tomorrow yun, aandar agad un. hope di pa sira batt ko at wag na sana iparecharge, madaan lang sana sa rev
moral of the story, laging gamitin ang oto, kung di man, painitan ang makina every day.

ganun din sa fx ko dati yung ground na wire sa battery meron na umido nilinis lang...kasi pina check ko battery ko oks naman at starter oks din nun tingnan yung ground ayun na

If its non reduction starter solenoid switch.
If reduction, bendix drive.
If you think battery connection or ground connection, pour some water on that part to improve transfer of electricity
