problem starting car

[starfire]

hi there, newbie here. i have a honda lx 94 and though it has a new battery (barely 4months) it will not start after i have not used it for 2 or 3 days or so. i have another car, a 96 GLI and i dont have a problem with is even if i dont use it for a week.

could this be an alternator problem? or a battery issue?

help please... thanks

there are some things to do here ( NO CRANK)

check for current draw / should'nt be more than .050 Amp

if ok go to next step

disconnect neg battery cable and leave the car sitting for three days

if the car won't start,battery problem

may consider to bring it to your trusted auto electrical shop

girl po ako but anyway thank you for you replies

uh that's what we try to do if we dont get to use the car for a few days, disconnect the negative battery cable, and it wont have any problem starting.

yesterday, it wont start and we had to jumpstart it using our van's battery. it wont start coz i havent used it for 3 or 4 days and i forgot to disconnect the negative battery cable.

kapag nastart ko na sya and mainit na ang makina, no problem starting it again. only when tha car is idle for 2 days or so.

thoughts??

you definitely have a wiring problem

a current draw of more than .050 amp is not good to the battery

get it checked by an auto electrician

they should be able to correct it

btw, what do you mean hindi nagstart after days of not using it? pero may redondo nung nagtry ka istart? malakas o none at all?

before nung may kotse pa ako powered by gasoline engine may naging problem din ako sa starting and lately we found out na fuel pump ang culprit not the bat or alt.

[aga_cruz]

yup pwedng tama si sir esnie pero kung fuel pump diba me posibly na mamatay ang makina habang tumatakbo?

mas maganda nyan ate dalhin mo na lang sa auto electrician o kaya antayin natin ang ibang tsikoters

Sir aga yung nangyari sa auto ko kapag hindi ginamit doon lumalabas ang sira ayaw magstart pero once na napa-start na kahit matagal na naka-idle ay okay naman. Yung problem ni starfire maraming possible causes dapat madetermine kung nagkakaroon ng redondo or totally wala, kung meron man redondo malamang sa fuel system or sa distributor.

[aga_cruz]

ate me redondo ba pag iniistart nyo? o totally click lang?kung me redondo malamang fuel pump ang sira

pag click lang at mahina ilaw ng panel board malamang groundings lool like na parang dinidiskarga nya ang battery ng otto?

aga_cruz /esnie.com - re: redondo
kapag idle for a few days at start ko, nde lang click meron din redondo pero pahina ng pahina habang inuulit ko itry istart

additional info nga pala, kapag iistart ko sya kailangan ko pa apakan ang gas at least once bago ko start ang ignition kse pag nde inapakan nde magstart (kapag malamig ang engine). kapag mainit ang engine, no need apakan ang gas.

bambino - sang wiring kaya po ang problema, sa alternator or battery?

[bambino]

current draw means meron constant draw ang battery mo kahit OFF ang ignition

magagawa yan ng auto electrician

isolation( technical term ) ang gagawin diyan para ma pinpoint ang root cause ng trouble

ipagawa mo na lang sa auto electrician para mawala na ang sakit ng ulo

[venjo_garcia]

jumpstart lng

Sis, first question ko. Are you first owner or second / third owner na. Meaning, did you buuy the car brand new o second hand na.

Second question: Kung brand new when you bought it, did you have any accessories ( Stereos, Fog lamps, back up lamps, alarms...etc) attached that aare not standard? If Second hand, did the car come accessorized.
In most cases, any accessory attached to the car, if not properly connected, will become a drainer of your batteries.

Tama si bambino, just bring your car to a qualified auto electrician, HUWAG LANG BASTA ELECTRICIAN, HA! or bring it sa casa. Mahal ang singil but they know the car very well.

Pagdating sa need to step on the gas pedal once to start, tune -up po yan. Also, need to clean your fuel system, easpecially the fuel filter. malamang, sa tagal na ng kotse mo ay di pa napalitan yan. Kung carb system, have the carb overhauled na rin.

At most, your engine may need de-carbonization or top over haul.

Again, mas mainam, dalhin mo na lang sa casa.
