    Yan din starter solenoid ang experience ko dati sa 2C and sa 4d56.

    And yes tama din yon diagnosis kung redondo ayaw tumuloy because of the nature of diesels being compression-ignition:

    - loose compression
    - valve shims/ clearance needs adjustment/replacement
    - pwede rin injection pump

    Ang Diesel kapag loose compression o singaw ang valve hirap start

    Ang gaso, agnas na ang sleeve o putol na ang ring, start pa rin.

    Kapag mahirap mag start (pero kapag itulak mo magstart naman) malamang tukod/pudpod na yung valves.

    Hindi kasi pwedeng iadjust yung valve nya, so kapag luma na and napudpod na, wala kang choice but to have the engine fixed (kinalas mo na din kaya mas mabuting palitan na lahat ng dapat palitan)
    O yes I forget to mention nung binaba yung makina to over size the piston, the mechanic replaced the valve seal, grind and cleaned the valve, palit din ng thrust bearing, camshaft oil seal, pati na rin timing belt (Unita), and cylinder gasket.

    clicking lng at walang redondo, ito yung isyu ko pag -ayaw mag start.

    'l take this into consideration, papacheck-up din ko yung starter/solenoid

    Thanks sa input
    Earlier nagpalit din kami ng buong starter (rebuild from yocks electrical sa Paco).

    But despite all of these after sometime nagbalik ulit yung hard starting sa morning with my Amaron battery.

    at least na narrow down ko din ang possible cause...
    Try ko muna 'tong rebuild/new starter, baka makatulong. kung bumalik ang isyu, then it's time to consider buying another car.

    tipid tipid muna sa hirap ng buhay

    Salamat sa inyong lahat na nag share ng experience at inputs!

    Actually yung isang FX namin dati, we decided to just replace the engine with a Japanese surplus 2C.

    Mas maingay compared to the local version pero hanggang mabenta na namin yung mga FX namin di sya nag ka problema.

    Umabot din ng 5 yrs (2010-2015), yung itinagal ng pagka-over size, but I was working abroad and 2 to 3 times a year lang ako umuuwi para magamit ko although pinada-drive din ni wifey if there is a need.

    I was able to used it more in 2013 to 2015 when I retired as OFW.

    hmmm... parehong 94 model yung amin (I remember that it came out of the dealership without seatbelts

    after 5 years, parehong starting problem... Yung isa overhaul, yung isa engine replacement... nabenta na pareho bago nagloko ulit...

    Naalala ko yung kapitbahay namin, ginawa pa nyang automatic yung FX nya... Yung Japanese surplus na 2C kasi noon kasama AT transmission, in our case engine lang ginamit namin.

    in terms of maintenance, ang sakit sa ulo lang naman ng FX e yung makina. initially, nakasalpak sa kanya e 5k. this is a small engine for its body size. kaya malakas sa gas. kaya pinalitan nila ng 7K. lumakas nga sa torque, pero malakas pa rin sa gas. hahaha. about their diesel engines... one word. panget. bad rep ang 2C. kung papa-overhaul ka rin lang nito, better kung magpalit ka na lang ng makina (and as for my case, nagpalit ako ng 4AGE). another member also had his engine to 4AGE. si EssB.

    i think i have some pics of some mods i made sa FX namin. hmmm... try nyo po tingin dito... www.cardomain.com/id/bosstl
    kamusta na po tamaraw fx niyo? baguhan po ako dito and about 5months ago nakakuha nakong driver's license, I really like the tamaraw fx and yun ang papagamitin sakin ng parents almost feel like my own car hehe (sana naman) Gusto ko ma experience yung mag taga off roading so gusto ko rin malaman ano mga future upgrades pwedeng magawa sa tamaraw fx ko

    May nakita ako a few months ago na pristine Tamaraw FX, not sure kung restored or alaga lang talaga. Looking at it, 90s an 90s ang dating, complete with period correct OEM wheels.
