Spark Plug and Starting Problem

[DENCH]

Please help me.

When is the proper time to replace spark plugs? I had my car changed oil, oil filter and air filter last May.

Also, my car won't start this morning. The gauge cluster lights up but the starting won't continue. May clicking sound lang. Is this a problem with the battery? I checked it and it seems okay based on the indicator.

Thank you.

Spark plugs dapat every 10,000 kms. How old is your battery? Kung may 2 years na, better replace it.

Thanks for the reply j_avonni.

Yung battery wala pang 1 year.

hmm your case sounds more like a battery or starter problem, not spark plugs.

if 1 year pa lang batt mo... better check like what theveed said, baka starter yan... may redondo ba?

[yebo]

clicking sound lang? check battery voltage, must be 13.6 volts or higher. if lower than 13.6 volts then your battery may be undercharged. check the battery terminals baka maluwag lang. also the terminals on the starter. if these are not the problem then it could be 1.) faulty starter solenoid, or 2.) worn starter bushings.

if it is due to undercharged battery, and since your battery is fairly new, then the charging system need looking into. baka kaya low battery charge kasi di gumagana alternator or voltage regulator.

or u could have a drain somewhere causing the battery to discharge..

starter probs yan for sure...

With the ignition set to acc or on? try and turn on the radio. If it goes on the battery may still be good. Could be a starter problem.

nangyari na sa akin yan....kung click lang, it's a sign of a dead battery.
kung may redondo, starter problem.

Hi happy_gilmore!

Yes click lang. Pero hindi siya nagreredondo.

Yung CEL light umiilaw naman sa gauge cluster then goes off after 2-3 seconds. Kung dead battery, bumubukas naman ang radio pag-start eh pati mga ilaw.

Starter kaya talaga? How much ba ang OEM replacement nito?

Thank you.

I agree with Theveed and the guys, you're problem is most-probably batter related. Try getting/borrowing a spare battery and hook-it up to your car. If your car starts, then you need to replace your battery. If it still does not start, have your starter checked. Now, if you don't mind shelling out P 300.00 for 4 sparkplugs so that you can test your theory, then go ahead.

Good luck.

ipa-jumpstart mo muna. then pa-check mo battery sa service center.

[DENCH]

Okay na car ko. Battery problem nga pala so I put on a new one.

Thanks to all for the assistance!

I'll be changing my spark plugs..

The current spark plug installed is Nippondenso K16RU-11.. Can i use NGK BKR6E-11 plugs?

[speedyfix]

once magredondo sya that means the starter is fine. kung click lang sya ng click either the battery is dead or the starter solenoid is busted.
