Hi Guys! I need help. I guese I have the same problem. Hard starting/ sometimes it wont' start at all...

... Minsan pa nga habang tumatakbo ay namamatay din ang engine.

Madalas puro "kadyot" ginagawa ko and I know its bad for the gear box.

I just recently purchased a new battery (this month lang), new spark plugs, new high tension wire and new fuel filter.

one of the mechanic said na "baka" distributor yung sira. Im not confident on how he told me thats why I need your help.

my car is a Corolla XL 1995

Thank you in advance!

Have the electrical system checked first to see if the alternator is not malfunctioning. If the electrical system is ok, disassemble and inspect the distributor cap. Have the internal components cleaned if it is dirty. If it is soaking in oil, the rubber oil seal must be replaced. If the distributor cap has cracks in it, replace it as well.

You may want to have the ignition coil checked as well.

*waya - fuel pump or distributor lang iyan sir. ipalinis mo muna distributor mo. kung kumakadyot naman habang tumatakbo, malamang fuel pump. yung namatayan ka kasi, maaaring fuel pump din or nawalan na ng detonation sa engine (sparks) meaning distributor ang culprit.
