or parking it less than about 30 minutes, then
pag-start mo...ayaw start........Then pag-ginalaw namin

before it starts.....Pag park naman namin ng matagal...one click
lang start na..........By the way our car is Nissan March 2002
Model..Its battery is still new......Hope you can help us guys...

Thank you and Happy New Year to all!!!!!

Top of mind ko, starter solenoid. Pwede rin carbon brush ng starter or starter mismo.

Happened to me once also, turned out starter solenoid lang pala.

Hello,

It has nothing to do with the transmission, my Alty was like that before too, the prob is your starter... AT requires a bit more juice for it to start properly, unlike in MT. Battery and starter has to be in tip top shape.

Yup, happened to our office's Suzuki APV AT. Starter solenoid dumikit. Baka pwede pa namang madala sa linis.

If you move the shift lever and it starts after you do that, it's the neutral safety switch - responsible for turning on the reverse lights, allowing the ignition to only start in neutral (N) or park (P) only.

[eyshmechanic]

as you said ng ginalaw mo yung shifting stick up and down, probably yung safety switch nga ang sira. automatic transmission will start only on park position, others pwede rin sa neutral.

nagawa na ba car mo ? and what was the real culprit ? is it the starter solenoid ? same problem kasi with my mazda 323 automatic, ayaw din mag-start...

Katulad ng sinabi ko '98 gli AT ang gamit ko battery at mga fuse at sparkplugs ang madalas kong palitan 180k na ang tinakbo ko okey pa rin sya ngayun.

[valentin mario]

same problem here, at pareho din tayo ng ginagawa para umandar yung oto (shift up and down yung gear then start again). nitong monday lang pinacheck ko na yung starter ko, para ngang walang diperensiya nung tinest yung starter, pero nung inobserbahang mabuti mahina na daw palo nung solanoid niya. nilinis lang yung solanoid, ngayun ok na pag start.

yan din ang problema ko dun sa dating 94 corolla gli a/t ko. pag sa umaga one click lang, pero once mainit na makina o after a trip pag pinatay ko makina then start again ayaw na.not even a single crank. kailangan ko pa hintayin a few minutes para mapa start uli. dati ginagalaw ko yung shifter from park to drive pabalik balik and it helps, pero katagalan hindi narin effective strategy ito. Napansin ko rin na parating pumuputok ang fuse niya. Hindi ko na nalaman papano naging resulta kasi binenta ko na yung sasakyan (nangyari pala ito after malubog sa baha yung kotse).hanggang wheel hubs kasi yung baha

this also happened to me...
in one case the engine wont crank...
I also asked about this in another forum (clubopelph.com)
shift cable (shift bar) or gear selector...
what happens is even though you put the gear in P or N (P in my case), it could not sense that it is in P... shifting to N ok naman...

the car is an opel astra AT... dont know if it is applicable to your car... check if there is some mechanism that checks the gear position on starting as mentioned by other poster...

hope this helps..

maki ride sa topic,
what if ithis happens on a manual car, starter solenoid na ba?
as in brownout talaga. wala man lang redondo
occasionally nangyayari sa kin. 1 year ng ganun
nag start naman after a few tries

yan din ang problema ko dun sa dating 94 corolla gli a/t ko. pag sa umaga one click lang, pero once mainit na makina o after a trip pag pinatay ko makina then start again ayaw na.not even a single crank. kailangan ko pa hintayin a few minutes para mapa start uli. dati ginagalaw ko yung shifter from park to drive pabalik balik and it helps, pero katagalan hindi narin effective strategy ito.

"sa umaga one click lang, pero once mainit na makina o after a trip pag pinatay ko makina then start again ayaw na.not even a single crank".

If this is the case my suspect is your battery. It might be weak already. Eh why sa umaga it STart? PLEASE BE INFORMED that the whole night your battery have recovered it's strength. Kapag hindi umistart po, please check your battery voltage, it should have a reading of 12.5vdc or a little bit higher sa multi meter tester. Now start your engine or crank your engine with the tester in place sa battery terminals, it should have a reading of 9 vdc and up habang ineestart. If the reading is 9, 10 ,11vdc your battery is GOOD! .if below 9vdc, say 8, 7, 6vdc. replace your battery or Check first your alternator and voltage regulator, your charging system might giving you a problem.

Ang sa akin lang mga fuse paki check lahat, dist ng elect baka di na balanse at ang mga strarter at higit sa lahat ang battery baka di na nagkakarga.
