Kayod Sound When Starting The Engine

[_Cathy_]

I've noticed lately that whenever I turn the ignition key on, I would hear a kayod sound after the engine starts. I am afraid of whatever it is that getting kayod. Thanks.

ooops, after the engine starts pala. i guess first thing to check is if your high tension wires are properly inserted.

[_Cathy_]

Do I bring that to an electrical shop? I'm afraid to bring it to just any mechanic 'coz my car ends up with more problems most of the time eh.

Can you guys recommend a place where I could bring it? I drive a 96 GLi Corolla

That is the sound of money going out of the door.

When you rev the engine (after it's warmed up), does a squealing sound come from the engine?

Best to have your trusty mechanic shove his head under the hood to check it.

[_Cathy_]

Why? What could be the problem? You're scaring me. hehe.

No squeal when I rev the engine. It's only when I turn the ignition key on.

Could be the starter motor with a worn out bushing winding down.

[_Cathy_]

Is that going to be expensive? I mean mahirap na gawaan ba yun?

[aga_cruz]

madali lang yun maam baka contact or solenoid lang madali naman bakalasin ang starter ng gli

[charger]

baka worn out bendix drive ng starter? go to an starter and alternator shop to unhook and inspect. it will kill your flywheel gears.

starter yan

mura lang yan

Sorry I meant before the engine starts. Basta after I turn the ignition key. Yung tunog niya yung parang pinipihit mo pa rin yung ignition kahit naka start na.

Maybe leaving the key in START longer than necessary?

I'm guessing its the starter. But to be safe bring it to a mechanic. If your in Metro Manila, safe choices are:

Speedyfix in Shaw Blvd
Speedlab in Quezon Ave
Stage 1 Motor Works near Araneta Ave
Wizards electrical in Timog Ave
Autotechnika in Fort

mam pa home service kayo kung ganun ang nararmdaman nyo sa oto nyo baka sumasama na ang starter nyan sa andar ng engine masusunog po ang starter nyo

[yapoy86]

possible problems are:

1. Bendix - responsible for engaging the starter to the flywheel and at the same time triggers the starter motor (this also acts as a relay switch)

2. Copper bushings - worn out copper bushings may cause hard starter movement therefore resulting to high current flow on the line making the bendix to chatter (just like a relay with poor current flow)

3. Loose connection - can result to high current flow resulting to chatter of bendix contacts

you just need to bring your car to a friendly neighbor hood electrician to pull your starter down and replace worn out parts.. I suggest you have the bushings replaced first..

Bring it to SPEEDLAB. We can even meet up there if I am free.

I also think that the first thing to be checked is your starter, also try the bearings of your pulleys (power steering pump and the fan belt adjustment) for good measure....good luck Cathy.

Thanks. It's not a complicated job naman? Can anyone recommend a place in Makati, Paranaque or Alabang Zapote?
