View Full Version : 94 TS Unable to start the motor
Hello everyone!
I just have a problem with my 94 TS magna V6,
Just today morning, I can't start the motor,
I can hear "V" sound from the engine room.
N even I try to jump start the engine, It still doesn't work.
All the electric appliance (i.e. light, radio)
seems work normally when I trying to start the engine.
So what's the problem maybe ?:cry:
Thanks for help!

If the engine turns over normally but doesn't start, check the plug on the distributor for corrosion. (Assuming 4 cylinder TS)

Can you take a recording of the noise the starter makes?
Does it sound like how the car normally turns over before it starts, or does it sound like the motor doesn't turn at all?
Did the car run fine when you last parked it or did it stop all of the sudden and do you know when the timing belt was replaced last?

Sounds like a dead starter motor to me... is it a manual? Have you tried push starting?

Dead starter motor.
Lucky for you it's a V6 and an absolute piece of piss to change.
Does it make a "whirring sound" like something is spinning but nothing is moving?
Firstly, thanks for everyone for the comments.
Maybe I make the situation of my car more clearly with pictures uploaded.
The "V" sound comes from somewhere under the car, near or in front of the middle muffler of the car.
Petrol pump sound?

The second sound come from the upper part of the engine. During ignition with the key,
the small metal tube which is connected to the black plastic tube.(i.e. with red label on its surface)
This part make a liquid flowing sound, just like the sound with u turn on the water tap.

The Third sound come from the inner part of the middle panel . During ignition with the key,
"tak" sound was heard.

As I remember, the last time when I drove car, the car running smoothly, but with a little bit of burnt smell,
I didn't know where it comes from so I didn't make good notice of it.
And the car battery had been completely flated out abt 2 weeks ago,
coz my fd didn't turn off the headlight for a whole day, n the car start up normally with a jump start afterward.
Now, the battery power is even enough to power up the air-cond.
It is a auto V6 Magna TS, I didn't tried to push start the car yet ,
as it is parked in a little bit of up slope road.
So what will the problem be? And what would be the estimated cost to fix it up?
Really thanks a lot! ;)
