Thank you , I'll try it.Starter. Battery connection. Starter relay. Fuel pump. Ignition switch. Spark plugs. Computer. spark plug cables.
The vehicle has started, but discontinue. Thanks for your reply.Vague description. "Intermit" is different from "does not start". Starter relay could be responsible for the latter case.
Thank you for your detailed answer. I found it really corroded. I need to replace it.Begin at the beginning; test the battery connections. If the terminals are visibly corroded, use an old toothbrush to clean. If corrosion is extensive, use a wire brush. Put some petroleum gel (you can use common grease) before you put back the connection. Tighten securely.
baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) has no cleaning power. Never use baking soda for cleaning: it can induce further corrosion.
Baking soda is, in fact, an excellent cleaner. It has mild abrasive properties and since it is alkaline, it will neutralize the battery acid causing the corrision. It will not induce further corrosion, although it will cause aluminum to oxidize.Begin at the beginning; test the battery connections.

I repeat, baking soda, chemical name Sodium bicarbonate, has no abrasive properties. It is slightly soluble in water.Baking soda is, in fact, an excellent cleaner.

Sorry, but wrong, wrong, wrong. Sodium bicarbonate is both mildly abrasive (2.5 mhos) and mildly alkaline. And it WILL oxidize aluminum. Check your sources.I repeat, baking soda, chemical name Sodium bicarbonate, has no abrasive properties. It is slightly soluble in water.
It has no alkaline properties (it is almost perfectly neutral) - unlike common soda, sodium carbonate.
It will neutralize the battery acid, true.
It does not cause oxidation of aluminum, it is not an oxidizing agent.
The major cause of corrosion is electrochemical, two different metals and a conducting liquid present.
Too many myths about baking soda!
Calm down: it is mildly abrasive- like your fingernails. Many plastics are harder and stronger. Agreed!!Sorry, but wrong, wrong, wrong. Sodium bicarbonate is both mildly abrasive (2.5 mhos)
Yes, the pH of sodium bicarbonate solution is around 8-9 (depends on who measured) - it is 8.3 as per pubchem (see reference below). For a reference for ease of comparison: most bottled water has a pH of 6-9, tap water is around 8, distilled water (pure water) pH at 25C is 7; at 80C around 6.and mildly alkaline.
even pure water can oxidize pure Aluminum: the reaction is 3H2O + 2Al --> Al2O3 + 3H2And it WILL oxidize aluminum.
