    help po mga ka tsikot.

    background lang, yung kotse namin is altis e 2003 matic. flooded po. sa wakas nakuha na namim lahat ng parts na kailangan for restoration. all brand new from toyota. pero yung shop na gumawa hindi sa toyota. nalinis na lahat ng putik saka na try na namin paandarin last week. umandar naman kaya lang may palya sa may spark plug number 1. bago naman lahat ng spark plugs saka nag switch na kami ng igniter. oks naman lahat. na try na namin yung ecu sa ibang latis oks naman. umaandar ng walang problema. ngayon yung spark plugs 2 and 4 naman ang hindi umaandar. nag start lang ito after na ibaba yung cylinder head and linisin lahat yung mga pistons. ngayon ayaw na mag start. pag testing ng electrician, walang power or spark sa 2 and 4. may nagsabi baka yung timing sa camshat saka yung sa crank case. sabi ng mechanic ok naman yung timing.

    may naka encounter naba sa ganitong problem? help naman....thanks.

    Unfortunately, the car is almost doomed. No one, as in no one is trained to restore flooded vehicles. Even casas were never trained to restore. All they can do is to replace parts and pray that they were able to cover everything.

    Sad, but this is the truth.

    sa tingin ko... electrical yung problem, maybe theres a short somewhere. natry niyo na ba palit ECU? i mean, kung palit ecu, may spark ba lahat?

    yes same issue with another ecu. both ecu works on another car. dati umaandar na sya then tinaggal lang cylinder head and pistons para linisin tapos pagbalik ayaw na umandar

    I am thinking something has corroded badly during the months the car was waiting to be repaired. It is unfortunate that in a flood, water gets into everything including electricals and electronics which were never meant to be underwater.

    It is possible to revive a car soon after a flood but long term reliability issues (mainly in the electricals & electronics) will plague the car for the rest of it's "life". This is especially true for modern cars with plenty of wiring under the hood and dashboard.

    Older cars are actually easier to repair and have a better chance of being problem free because of having very little electronics and relatively easy to re-wire it from bumper to bumper with new wiring.

altis ayaw mag start
