i tried po several things since di naman ko ganun kalalim know how sa makina.
1.tried to swap with battery from a jeep (2 batteries from the jeep) = ayaw same cond
2. tried to tulak start ,tried several times = aya ,same cond

in the end po ,pinahatak na lang namin sa jeep na hinraman namin ng batt

yun fuel filter po kasi napalitan na dati 6 mos. ago, spark plug ganun din 6 mos. ago(before stock plugs sya pinalitan ko ng platinum tip) gasoline is nasa 1/4 pa ng gauge, before po pala nun me narinig ako na whirring sound na sumasabay sa idle ng makina pero before wala yun e.

medyo di kasi masyado nagagamit tong ride namin minsan 2 months nakagarahe lng sya!tpos gamit sya ng 1 week tpos garahe uli.

any inputs po sir kung anu prob ng ride namin?


666,
before any fossil burning engine can run, combustion must occur; i.e., the three elements of a fire triangle must be present: heat, air, fuel. heat- spark, heat-compressed air in the combustion chambers, fuel of course, do you need me to spell that? do not rely on the fuel gauge specially you mentioned that the car is always dormant. the gauge might have been stuck but in reality the tank might be empty. as for air, check your air induction starting from the air filter horn all the way to the intake valves. not in the air induction system, check the exhaust system. a sooty tailpipe is a telltale sign that the exhaust might be plugged (just like your exhaust filled with bananas). check for a hot bluish white spark from the hi tension wires. if you could, check your engine compression both wet and dry readings and record findings. this might reveal an out of synch valve camshaft. if your ignition is distributor type, check if it turns while cranking and the distributor rotor points to cylinder 1 (or 4 for 4 cylinder engine, sorry, i am not familiar with the engine family you have) while the crankshaft pulley is at top dead center. all these are elementary my dear watson if you give the full description of the symptoms
