HI Guys. my kelisa has a weird problem, not sure anyone has encountered on theirs.
It manages to get started on cold start. But after starting, if i turn off the engine immediately, the car will not start back. It keeps cracking as if the battery is dead.
I have changed the starter to another unit, changed several battery, tried additional grounding and also sent it to a wireman to get the electricals looked at but the problem still persist.
For now, i have resorted to turning the alarm on/off, putting the car in neutral and pushing is slightly or shaking the battery terminals wiring to get it started back.
If i leave the car to cool down, it will get started.
If anyone has any suggestions, im happy to hear for you
An update on my problem stated in the above quote.
So I met my regular mechanic and discussed about the starting problem. He called his Starter/Distributor supplier and the supplier believed that the previous workshop that did an overhaul on the Kelisa might had replaced the original starter with a different starter.
So the identified problem was that the mechanic that did the overhaul might have used a starter with 9 gear tooth instead of the 8 gear tooth required by my car. Note that both these 8/9 tooth starters exists for kelisa, it depends which one perodua shifted along with your car.
Since mine shifted with an 8 gear tooth starter, using 9 gear tooth was doomed from the start. The supplier brought a recond 8 gear tooth started, got it replaced for 180RM, traded my old 9 gear tooth starter for 20RM. Problem solved.
Car starts like a dream.
