How to Solve the Problem When the Brake Locks and the Car Won't Start?
2 Answers
Here are the solutions for when the brake locks and the car won't start: 1. Fuel supply system issues: clogged low-pressure fuel line, loose or leaking pipes, air in the high-pressure fuel line, poor technical condition of the injector, incorrect injection timing angle. 2. Starting system issues: power supply failure, poor contact in the electromagnetic switch, poor contact between the starter motor commutator and brushes, clutch slippage in the starter transmission mechanism. 3. Insufficient cylinder compression pressure: damaged cylinder head gasket causing air leakage, valves not sealing properly leading to leakage, worn piston or cylinder liner causing leakage; insufficient air intake due to a clogged air filter element.
I've been driving for over twenty years and have encountered situations where the brakes lock up and the car won't start multiple times. This is usually caused by a lack of vacuum in the brake booster system or a stuck master cylinder. The simpler way to handle it is to try stomping on the brake pedal a few times first. Sometimes, this can unexpectedly release the stuck part, allowing the force to be released and the car to start successfully. If that doesn't work, check the brake fluid reservoir level to see if there's any leakage or missing fluid. For safety's sake, don't force-start the car, as it could damage the engine. I once had a loose vacuum tube that was fixed by tightening it. For prevention, I recommend getting a professional brake system inspection, maintenance, and fluid change every six months to avoid breaking down during long-distance driving. This is much cheaper than repairing the car. Also, pay attention to poor battery connections, as they can affect the system. Overall, when encountering problems, stay calm, handle the emergency first, then repair to ensure safety.
