cranking prob during morning

[kahheng]

hi all,
my mitsubishi lancer 1.6 GLX CVT, is experience some kind of prob(i dunno whether tis is normal) during starting, usually in the morning. when i turn the ignition key to the START position, as usual, a ticking sound and the starter motor turning noise can be heard (for approx 2 sec), but it doesnt start straight away, the starter will stop for approx half a second until it continues to turn and then only the engine is started.The problem only occurs in the morning during first start, its gone when the engine is hot.

I had the battery checked and the charging voltage and everything is OK. So im wondering whether other ppl is experiencing this.

thanks and happy new year 2009! :P

try to check yur starter, sometimes the copper inside dirty.

 

[kahheng]

copper? i thot its carbon? haha...
jus wondering when u all change ATF for lancer CVT, do u all use 4liter or more? some ssay need flushing, but i dun tink the oil is dirty coz from the dip stick its stil very clear, since its oredi 2 years, i just wana hav it changed, maybe just drain out all n refill with new one. no nid to flush also can rite?

 

[DewA_LavaU]

during my time when I change-out ATF I use more. Once I change at Ah Kit place I used about 5 litre (ye kot tak ingat). That time I'm using Motul

Bump: wait. U said after 2 years u never change ur ATF? Or am I wrong?

5L? did they flush the gearbox first? if yes i think its reasonable.. coz normally one container oni 4L... i dun understand y need so much.. yeah its almost 2 yrs... but mileage only 13k...

 

[DewA_LavaU]

owhhhhh no wonder hahahahaha yup ATF change-out is every 20k KM hehehehe no need to flush2 bro the reason u use more is because when u drain everything it lacking lubricant to fill the internal part of ur g/b 4L is not enough when u notice ur g/b deepstick it still lacking so u have to topup another 1L then the deepstick will give reading at desired level

Bump: 2 years my car mileage already reach 80K kmk already heheheh then change to fresh engine :P

[DewA_LavaU]

kahheng for ur engine oil syntium1000 gud enough already :) waja filter no problem can be used as long its genuine filter frm proton not the cap ayam one :)

 

[leslie]

check your starter!!!.... pm evolutionz if you want to see which eon centre got mut facility.

 

[kahheng]

thx all for the advice:wavey:

 

[kahheng]

hav u all seen the manual of ur car? it says our lancer auto/ CVT needs 8.1L of ATF SP3.. serious?? i just change out my ATF - 5L total.. hehe... how u all check the dipstick? even in N or P the level is always more than HOT, not within HOT-COLD as the manual says.

 

[DewA_LavaU]

kahheng I think u misinterpret the table reading in that manual. And do not refer to Singapore pages.

U shuld check the oil level when the car cool down. Maybe on the early morning before u start ur engine.

For the starter problem it's depends on batch...depends what fuel pump u r having, u should hear fuel pump staring to pump on the first starts every morning ....did u install any immobilizer ??
