Quickest Solution When Push-Start Fails to Ignite?
1 Answers
Push-start failure may be caused by a depleted key fob battery. In such cases, try bringing the key as close as possible to the ignition button—preferably touching it—then press the button. This serves as an emergency workaround, but you should replace the spare key promptly. Below are common reasons for push-start failure: 1. Excessive carbon buildup: Possibly due to carbon deposits in the idle speed control valve, intake manifold, intake valves, or combustion chamber. 2. Improper air-fuel mixture: Intake tract carbon deposits or contamination alter air passage cross-sections, causing either over-rich or over-lean mixtures that result in abnormal combustion, engine shaking after startup, or complete failure to start. Alternatively, fuel injector leaks or excessive carbon deposits may create an over-lean mixture during startup. 3. Faulty charcoal canister or purge valve: Malfunctions in these components can also cause difficult starting.
