Civic 2001 Starting Problem - Help

[johnpatros]

Hi guys.. its great to be a member here.. been reading a lot of threads and in a way i definitely learn a lot about my car.

this is my first post and a noob..

got a problem with my honda civic vti 2001 car which i bought 4 months ago (starting problem) there are days when the car wont start at all and there are days that i encountered no starting problem.

whenever it wont start, it just clicks and walang redondo at all. but battery is fine i have lights, i can turn on my aircon and may stereo.. can even roll down my windows. so what i usually do to remedy the problem is jumpstart the car with another car.

Brought it to Reys Electrical sa Marikina and theyve done everything wala daw ground, they cleaned the starter and ngayon they said na sa battery daw..

Is this an ECU problem na?

help naman mga masters dyan

How old is the battery? Did they measure the voltage of the alternator when the engine is running? What is the reading of the battery when the lights and aircon are ON? And what is the reading when the engine is OFF?

I would start with the battery and terminal connections. Make sure they are clean and tight.

true.happend to my car last week.i tried to start my car and all i got is a click.but i have lights, A/C, radio, etc.maluwag lang yung wire na nkakabit sa terminals ng battery.try to take the wire off the terminals.then put it back again.(make sure na mahigpit yun wire sa terminals)

just bought the battery 2 months ago.. now i asked motolite to provide me with another battery para ma isolate yung problem..

sabi ng rey's charging is ok naman daw..

Most likely the battery that you bought 2 months ago was defective since your car can be started with another car's help (using jumper cables). If the alternator readings are ok, then you should have no more problems with the new upcoming battery.
