Failure to start may be due to reasons in the fuel supply system, starting device issues, insufficient cylinder compression pressure, or inadequate air intake. Reasons in the fuel supply system: Blockage in the low-pressure fuel line, loose pipes causing fuel leakage, air in the high-pressure fuel line, poor technical condition of the injector, incorrect injection timing angle, spark plugs failing to ignite normally due to damage or lack of regular replacement. Reasons in the starting device: 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, cylinder head gasket damage causing air leakage, valves not sealing tightly leading to air leakage, wear in piston cylinder liners causing air leakage, or blockage in the air filter element.

The car is full of gas, but the fuel gauge shows empty. What should I do?

Generally, this happens when refueling too quickly while the fuel tank temperature is high, causing gasoline vapor to rush out suddenly and trigger the fuel gun to stop. If the fuel gauge needle never reaches full after every refueling, it might be necessary to check the fuel tank float and consider replacing the fuel pump.

What to Do When the Car Starter Doesn't Respond?

If not, you can turn on the headlights to observe their brightness. If the headlights dim or do not light up at all, it indicates a severe battery discharge. Use the emergency method of short-circuiting the 30 and 50 terminals to start the car. This indicates an internal fault in the DC motor, possibly due to stuck brushes. You can tap the starter twice with a wrench.
