Hard starting.. Alternator kaya?

[jdab]

Lately, meron mga times na nagkaka-experience ako ng hard starts. Yung battery ko around 1 year and 6 months pa lang at nadala ko na rin siya sa service center for check up. Okay pa naman daw ang health at charging ng battery.

Twice na rin nangyari na hindi ko na ma-start yung engine after kong mamatayan dahil na-release ko yung clutch while in first gear at full stop ako.

"Click", "cronk", (1 second pause), "cronk", (1 second pause), "cronk", (1 second pause), "cronk" yung tunog pag sinusubukan kong i-start ulit. During this time, napansin ko na 12-13v naman yung naka-indicate sa volt meter at gumagana pa lahat ng ilaw ko.

Possible kayang may problema na sa alternator?

Pa check mo muna battery connection, then the starter, baka ubos na ang mga carbon or nag seize na yun bearings.

Update ko lang ito..

Went to Rey Electrical yesterday to have my problem diagnosed. Tama si Good Mechanic, starter nga ang problem. The (first?) bushing inside the starter was already worn out and that causes a metal to metal contact when you try to start the car.

They also replaced the field coil dahil sunog na raw. Total cost = 1300.
