engine cranks too long before starting

**lancepower** · March 2nd, 2017 01:42 PM

Hi mga bro,

May naka experience na ba sa inyo ng ganito. Medyo matagal mag crank ang engine bago mag start. Btw ang car ko nga pala is Vios 2011 E a/t. Ano ba ang dapat ko ipa check para bumalik sa dati yung condition ng car (magbilis mag start).

TIA

Symptoms of a faulty ignition system, could be anything like the coil, wires, etc. Best to have it tuned up by a mechanic so they can rule out and pinpoint the faulty one

check spark plugs, replace if needed.
possible clogged fuel filter

Anong klaseng prolonged cranking ba? Yung mabagal na matagal o yung mabilis na matagal? Pacheck sa electrical shop soon bago ayaw na nya magstart altogether. Culprit can be anything from starter motor, spark plugs, weak battery or faulty alternator.

if your mileage is more than 40K km, its time to change your fuel filter. preferably OEM for trouble-free. if your battery is more than 4 years, you might as well change it too. You dont want your car to die on you at any given situation....

Before replacing any parts whether time/change or regular maintenance make sure you narrow down possibilities of the symptom. Does this engine start normal just after shut down?

Yes, the engine start normal after shut down. Nangyayari lang talaga ung long cranking pag matagal naka park.

Do you hear a buzzing sound when you turn the key to ON (not START)? In almost all gasoline cars, when you switch the ignition ON, the electric fuel pump pressurizes the fuel system and stops once the set pressure is reached. This typically takes 1-2 seconds. If the 'buzzing' takes longer, the pump may already be weak or any of the fuel filters (strainer included) may be clogged.
