Bro,check your cable from front to fuel pump under the behind seat..
My car mechanic check first said fuel pump but at end just the cable terbakar..so they just modify the cable..
save a lot your money

car cant start. any kicking sound or just quiet?

Thanks. 125k

Yeah, the fuel pump was just based on my mechanic assumption on listening to the car engine sound. CNY nobody buka kedai till today. Getting it checked now. Apparently there no electricity goin to the engine on 1st check.

Can't start. Just kicking sound. Battery is still quite new.

Thanks.

starter issue?

if don't have any sound, its starter issue or ur wiring to fuel pump might be burn i think..
my kelisa also have that problem but seasonal...
so when he don't want go anywhere he just plain dead n mostly can start on the next day

hot afternoon. decided to clean my engine bay.
... wrap up electrical parts, battery, air intake hose and 2 dont knoe wat parts but they look 'takut water type'.
... spray waxco engine cleaner. tis spray is sharp n spray little but sharp jets of liquid ( not foam as seen in u tube(.
... observe small areas that need further sprays n shoot!
... use tooth brush n help to brush n agitate the cleaner liquid. just simply brush the engine bay areas.
... wait for 10 minutes.
... i use ordinary water hose to shot lightly over .
... leave to air dry.
... later will spray silicon spray to the rubber n vinyl parts to make them more younger...haha

no problem arise after light water shot? lucky u if don't have
mine send to car wash ask them to cuci engine..
at the end one spark plug gone edy cause got small amount water leak thru the cover

need to cover the elec parts and use house water hose only. ifnuse power hose water might squeeze into some parts tat can cause problems. also engine shd b cold. and wipe dry then air dry. shd b ok.
if u go to shops to wash your engine would b hot and can lead to cracks !!! ???

i drove not far from my house...
but before this don't have any problem...
but lesson learn, next time i just ask mechanic to air spray my engine to clear off dust

I think the mechanic tested the spark plugs and said that there's no electricity goin through when trying to start the engine.
Said it could be a sensor issue.
Will need to see how it goes tomorrow. CNY PH can't get spare parts.

how old is your car? mine 11years edy...
i think most of old kelisa will have this problem...
need to do proper grounding after this

12years this year.
Any idea what sensor the mechanic is talking about and how much it'll cost?
Seems to be heading to a higher cost than the initial fuel pump assumption.

sorry, donno how much it will be cost u..
i think 300-500..might be..
finger cross hope it doesn't cost you a bomb..

no elec going to spark plug? try to see another foreman.
maybe there r other simpler reasons for it.

More like relay faulty. Find wireman instead

google for the reasons.... too many reasons and as said..could b starter, relay only ....

So here's what happen. The guy removed the engine coil from the gasket. It was soaked in oil. Valve gasket leaking.
Tested all three coil. No power to them. Tested a spare that he had at the shop. There's power. So tech came to a conclusion that the coil is faulty.
Replaced all three coil and the valve cover gasket. Tested all 3 had power. Engine still wouldn't start.
Checked relay and EFI all looked alright. Swap relay. Still wouldn't start. Petrol was not coming in.
Check the power on the cable of the fuel pump. Said it's alright.
Said it could be a problem with the ECU. He was honest to say he hasn't replaced that before and he's not sure of the price, which gave me the opportunity to get someone else to check for me.
Called my normal mechanic. Towed the car over to his place.
Found out that the cable for the electronic engine control is loose or torn. Fixed it up. Light came up on the dashboard.
Tested. Engine starts

Total cost: RM8++

Not a great start to the new year. Whole day wasted. 5 CNY days carless

tow the car n replaced the coil cost rm800+?
shd have always seek opinion from other mechanics.
most of the times it works! works wonder.

Forgot to mentioned. Did change some other worn out parts as well. The belting for pwr steering, aircon etc, the sparks plugs and the valve gasket cover. 480 to replace the 3 coils.
The rest was labour and tow.
Would've seek different opinions if the car would bloody start up. The problem was it couldn't. Only way was to tow.
