hi,My driver just washed the car and by mistake he washed the engine too without covering distributor.And now the car is not starting on CNG/Petrol.Now tell me wat to do?There is no current in spark plug wires (only middle plug wire has very small current).PLZ GUYS HELP ME OUT becuase mechanic is out of range.
Charade 86 CNG
Open distributor cup, before opening mark the plug wires, dry up the distributor and the cup with hair dryer or with blower or use some dry cloth. dry all wires and plug connectors.
Try to start, when u get the right spark.
@ LOGASI did it too.But the problem is same.Last time at service station,after service the same problem occured.And after 1 hr trying a taxi driver came and just did something in the distributor with tester and closed it.And started the car in just 1 min.But this time car is at home.Plz any other method waiting for ur replies
i had the same poroblem ... after washing car it wouldent start , tried water removal, pushing, nearly everything sometime it wold start but sometime it diddent ..if u have a new battery or other car , try connecting its battery and start in 1 min charade engine needs full self cycle otherwise it cannot start ... if u connect with other car with wires then dont start the other car ..
@RocketmanBro i just installed new NGV Battery.But there is no current in spark plug wires that is the main problem....but wat should i do now?
Check the point gap, rotate engine and bring the point on top of the distributor came, switch on ignition and check the current between the tips of point. If not, your condensor/capacitor has gone, replace a new one. or your point has got short circuited.
@LOGAS
1.Open distributor and how to check the gap, rotate engine etc.Plz tell me in detail
lol ... logas sir u r correct but who r u telling all this .. lolif u have small battery eg 40 or 45amp , it also dies after few attempts to start ... i have a ups at home and i used to charge battery from that ..just call a mechanic .. i had no power to take tension so i sold my charade 88 rec 94 .. best advice is to change engine with toyota 4afe or 5afe efi ... or dont wash its engine like i never did ...
LOL..................
Better.........you call a doctor (mechanic)
@Rocketmansir aap ne to iis problem ka hal engine change karne tak phooncha diya hai....LOL
bythe way the car has recently started. And the problem was the current setting in distributor(Thanks for ur advice LOGAS). My neighbour driver used this method and it resulted into success.Now the car is absolutely fine with no starting problem.
THANKS LOGAS and ROCKETMAN(good advice to change the engine....lol)
:)....Congr8.............
thanks bro
good to hear about the starting thing i only said to get 4afe so that it will do o-100km in 7 sec if he shifted the gear to 4th and pushed or pulled the car then its exactly what logas sir said warna it just dryed and started ..i also gave another advice which u probably diddent read that after this problem when u have to take a ride home .. i decided to clean the engine by air only and not water ...
@Rocketman
Anyway thanks bro
Is it OK to wash engine bay with water? i never try to do this adventure. More some people say it will be harmful for engine rubber parts. i use either petrol or kerosene oil to wash engine (if needed), never use water even on my new car.
What you say Rocketman bro?
yarr it ok for carb engine but not efi or electronic engines .. carb engine will start after it gets dry, agar electronic engine ka kuch jal gaya then u r gone u know with santro's engine its written that dont throw water on it ... so u do correct if your car is efi or electronic.other than that water doesent get rid of those oil particles only petrol or kerosene will get the job done, but never hered of rubber parts being destroyed by water :s
