    anything you might have noticed change or new like tailpipe smoke? noise, vibration & harshness (NVH), change in fuel consumption, losing fluids, unusual smell in the exhaust and MIL (malfunction indicator light) illumination or flashing? additional information is much appreciated

    So far sir wala naman ibang indicators of malfunction.Everything seems normal.This is noted only after nabilad lang sa parking area where i work.Water, oil. engine indicators, and battery seems normal.No unusual smell or sound.Mukhang di kaya talaga ang init.

    your battery might be sulfated. what it is, is that the positive plates (lead peroxide) is turning into lead sulfate. the negative plates are lead sulfate. if the two set of plates are of the same charge potential, i.e., both sides lead sulfate potential, there is little electron charge. sometimes the battery can be reconditioned by slow charging for about a day or two. but to be on the safe side, specially if it already shows the symptoms and the battery has reached its expected life or is nearing its last breath, it is wise to replace it and save yourself from inconvenience or maybe embarrassment

    You just need to confirm if it is really the battery by borrowing one from another car for a couple of days observation. You just need to go to the process of elimination

    If you added some electronic accessories...check for unshielded wires. Try to put sunshade on your windshield as extreme hot sun rays may also affects your electrical and electronic systems. Some newer cars like Innova had climate control sensors mounted on the dashboard top.

    I've been seeing lately where I park (public parking with open and shaded parking slots) that some other cars parked under the scorching sun won't start and had to to be cable jump start.

    I don't know if this experience of mine will apply to your case, I had the same problem before with Isuzu 4FB1 engine that won't crank when the engine is already hot, the culprit was the grounded starter. Starter mechanic/technician just replaced the carbon terminals and copper bushing and the problem disappeared.

    Pag hindi battery ang problema, then you can try replacing the main relay. (Pero this is a problem mainly for Honda cars). Hot soak yata yung tawag nila dito.

    In my experience, pag mainit na yung makina, namamatay yung engine (even while cruising!), tapos hirap mag-start. I have to let it cool down for about 15mins. tapos ok na ulit. Pero pag uminit uli yung makina, ayan na naman.

    Turns out it was my ignition coil. Nung napalitan ko na, everything functioned normally again.

    +1 kay sir mile2.
    Siguraduhin muna na hindi battery related ang problema.
