sometime when i wanna start the engine, the engine just wont respond, i
confirm it is not a battery problem. when i turn the ignition, the motor
wont move at all, just a tick sound. i have to turn the ignition few
times like creating a electric spike pulse then only can start the
engine.
anyone face this problem, is it due to connection or relay problem?

I had that problem 2 months ago with my wira, it's not battery problem.but
It's a fuel pump problem. Must send to SC... I left my car for 1 day
there. It's a major problem.

lucily it's still under warranty

but for my case, the starter motor is not even crunching, should not be
fuel pump problem right

when got tick tick sound,means the starter is working but maybe not
enough current supplied to start the engine.

in my case, i add a relay to it. cost around rm40

hie,

happen to my car too, its cause by carbon builtup in ur starter and
insufficent current supplied.

bring to ur mechanic.

solution : remove and clean the starter, check if the carbon brush still
ok or not, then add a relay to the connection, which provide full battery
power during cranking....

hope this helps.

if your starter got stuck, try this temporary remedy (u got to service ur
starter ASAP). And this onli work with MT car. Engaged the the gear, then
try push ur car few times. Disengaged the gear and start the engine.

not recommended to DIY, the starter is not easily accessable, bring it to
ur mechanic.
