battery..

smells like ignition switch problem.

 

[ken yeang]

suspect the ECU fried.
Try to borrow another ECU and test it.

get a brand new starter.. not a recon..

check ur battery too..

Its probably the starter key wiring. Loose wire perhaps?

If it's the distributor, the engine will crank but will die immediately you release the ignition key. Most likely is the starter. Replace it totally with a new one. Try not to use recond or serviced unit.

 

[D7zul]

wiring also can cause this..

must check that too

Your "click click sound" refer to starter sound or the main relay clicking sound?
If starter doesn't crank at all then its your starter problem again. If main relay not clicking then its your main relay faulty.
But consider that your have mod in a separate starter relay, which i am doubt the wireman will gave you an OMRON relay but rather a china made relay, you might want to look into the mod relay as well.
Your problem sounds very straight forward any experience mech should be able to handle it.

already get foreman check, not battery problem, not distributor problem, the foreman add a original starter relay for me, he say my addition relay wrong wiring, but after add original relay same problem. I complain him and he get angry say he don't know check, this this that that, don't want to do my business. fine, since he already add the relay, i don't want get more trouble, i told him help to check my wiring, i find out that there is an other starter relay behind the main key switch, i ask him change it , don't know will solve the problem or not? i still testing it. If problem still there, will get a wireman to check. I also thinking, will it be ECU problem? because my car got one sensor below the handbrake, this sensor direct connect to the ECU, if no pull up the handbrake the car will not start.

If anyone get angry at you because they don't know how to fix, better take your car elsewhere if not you will just bring in more problems later.

thanks all the sifu, i'm in kl area.

 

[levin818]

Ah Fatt from E&T Car Service? Yeah he is good!

 

[alantan350]

problem solve, already tested for 3 weeks no problem, for your info, don't waste money to add a starter relay, because at the end it still control by the main starter relay behind the key switch.

 

[me2kimi]

so what is the culprit?

 

[Veloc]

Is it starter solenoid? I got this prob last month. The guy changed the starter solenoid straight away ok.

 

[alantan350]

main starter relay behind the key switch got problem.
