Does no response during the second ignition count as a second ignition?
1 Answers
No response during the second ignition still counts as a second ignition. Reasons for no response during the second ignition: No fuel. If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, the engine naturally won't start; dead battery. This could be due to prolonged use of headlights without turning them off, resulting in a drained battery, or the battery's lifespan has expired. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights or high-power audio systems can also cause vehicle circuit failures; incorrect gear position. For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) to start. If left in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the engine won't start. Some manual transmission vehicles also won't start if the clutch isn't depressed. Hazards of second ignition: Frequent second ignition can damage the starter motor, starter engagement gear, and the flywheel gear ring on the engine. Normally, turning the ignition key first activates the starter motor. The starter's drive gear engages with the teeth on the flywheel, causing the flywheel to rotate. Finally, with the coordination of the valve timing, ignition, and other mechanisms, the engine starts running. Once the engine starts, the starter motor stops working. Sometimes, because the engine sound is relatively quiet or the engine runs smoothly after starting, many car owners may mistakenly think the engine hasn't started and proceed with a second ignition, which can more or less cause certain damage to vehicle components.
