Hi guys,
I'm using honda EK 96 and i have problem with starting up my car. if i never use my car for abt 3-4 days and want to start my car i face difficulty on it. i have already change my starter motor and replace a new battery also still have same issue. other info on my car, i using 4 channel amp which i dun this is cause of the issue. i need advice and help on the issue i'm facing. thanks in advance guys, cheers and have a nice day

how about spark plug and coil, oredi change?

try jump start 1st.. if the car can start, while on engine idle, unplug the negative terminal and wait if the engine stop..

if yes, its ur alternator hopefully.. if the engine still manage to idle, i think its maybe ur coil or plug..

goodluck..

ya bro, if push my car or jump start able to start but i want to rectify the issue, i mean which part cause the problem. thanks alot for the reply bro's.

If you say hard to start after few days of non driving ,maybe you should check your wiring, might be somewhere leaking current sucking your battery dry. Alarm? Usually is the alarm.

alarm or ICE systems. or any newly installed fog lights

where to check wiring bro,i mean most of the shop i try to ask they said they will only do wiring for ICE system,I do nothave fog lights bro, any other suggestion ? thanks

Cannot start? meaning....

-cranking...gggggggg many times still cannot start?

OR

-start...at...at...at > cannot get the starter to crank?

emm, it cranks many times but can"t start,some times it crank and the crank become slower and slower bro.

Bro,no point u asking here and straight away go change the parts to new one as we are jus giving u some idea.

First of all i suspect it's ur wiring.U can check ur wiring at some battery shop where they do provide wiring check-up.Don't waste ur money by replacing this and that just because u/shop guy suspect it could be the culprit.Makesure which part is the culprit and only replace that particular part.

i start 2 think its the current leak issue... Do you leave any switches on when you leave the car? This include aircond, ice or anything with switches... Other than that, check the wiring. Old wires tend 2 hv some resistance and with any switches left on, ur battery might be sucked out slowly...

yes Conroe bro, i agree with you because the shop guy that i change my battery first he said batteyr faulty then he said starter motor and now he said wiring which he does not do the checking, haiz. this is a big headache for me. sometimes wanna go out,start the car mati cannot start, . neway thanks a lot for the info's bro

Better find any other good workshop.Good luck.

how's your fuel level? sometimes might be because of fuel pump..since you said it's cranking..but won't start...similar to my friend's waja..not sure about your car though...

my fuel level some time is ard half tank and some times is quarter tank,both also the same issue but how did your friend solve this his issue ?

how's the frequency you refill the fuel tank? do you wait till it's nearly empty? if that's so...it will put make fuel pump work harder and higher probability to fail...

well..she needs to change the fuel pump and costed her RM600

Well,
if you car crank well.... (don't la crank the car more than 5 minutes, energizer battery also die la LOL), normally starter and battery are good.

So, now prob is the ignition or fuel system.
-ignition can be: plug, plug cable, coil etc
-fuel system/fuel supply: fuel pump, injectors or AUTOCHOKE

*Last time my car when fuel pump weak/dying, even stop after a few hours also hard to start

*I know some Perdanas are battery eater if parked more a few days, not sure about EK, maybe your new ICE draining them?

air flow meter? Maybe try when starting- try pressing the gas pedal- Also check the fuel distributor.
