Help...Help...Ayaw mag-start: Automatic Transmission Car

**chrismartin** · January 7th, 2008 11:22 AM

Lately, bigla nagloloko starting ng automatic
transmission car namin. After turning off engine
or parking it less than about 30 minutes, then
pag-start mo...ayaw start........Then pag-ginalaw namin
shifting gear up and down.....then start mo ulit...mag-start
na engine.....Last few days, we have to do it about 5 times
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.

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.

I'm sure the TS knows that he can start the car only P or N. After all, he's had the car for 5 years na.

Thank you for all your prompt replies.....

We only start at "P" and "N" lever position. The problem I described above
is a "No Crank" starting problem. It seems that there is no electricity supplied
to the starter.....upon moving the gear lever up and down there is this sudden
click sound that we hear.....after that....we can now start the engine.....But lately
as I mentioned above, we are having a hard time starting the engine.......Something
strange thou is when we parked for approximately 30minutesor longer....the cars starts fine.....Before we have it repaired I hope you can share some inputs as my reference to compare notes with the car shop mechanic....Thank you very much

baka yung safety switch talaga ang sira or the relay. maybe that explains why pag matagal naka-park, yung switch or relay got a good contact pag matagal naka-engaged. of course input lang po.

Better be sure and check mo na muna ang safety switch. I guess mas mura i-replace ito rather than yun starter solenoid. Kung naayos, eh di ok. Kung hinde, starter na ang tignan ninyo.
