my car won't start

[ericp]

I think it's a dead/dying battery.

Sabi mo nag-start pag tinutulak...ibig sabihin, me kuryente (alternator) pag nag-start na. Ayaw mag-start (starter) , ibig sabihin di kaya ng baterya paikutin ang starter.

Advise:

1. Replace with good battery (borrow from family or friend) or buy one.
2. start car
3. one it starts, measure voltage across the battery terminal. It must be ~13-14 volts. If lower, fix the alternator too.

I know so little about cars and their problems, so I hope anyone can help me diagnose my car's problem before I call a mechanic. I own a 2001 honda city type z vti and I got it only less then a year. I started noticing a few days ago na pag stuck ako sa traffic humihina aircon and umiingay makina then pag go na mahina hatak tapos pag direderetso na takbo lumalakas ulit aircon and ok na ulit hatak. Pag pinapatay ko aircon during those times, tumatahimik n ulit makina and malakas na ulit hatak. Then yesterday when I stopped for gasoline, my car won't start anymore. I let it cooled off, ayaw pa rin then isang tulak lang nagstart na ulit. Pa check ko daw radiator or alternator. What is alternator? Can it cause all this problem? I tried starting my car today and click click lang narinig ko so pinatry ko patulak, start naman sya kaagad but of course I can't use my car anymore. Electrician ba kailangan ko patawag? Sorry, I'm trying to learn more....
