What Are the Reasons for an Automatic Transmission Car Failing to Start with Abnormal Noises?
1 Answers
Reasons for an automatic transmission car failing to start with abnormal noises include spark plug failure or insufficient battery voltage; the entire cooling system being frozen due to lack of antifreeze; incorrect gear selection; battery depletion or expired battery life; excessive carbon buildup; severe aging of the vehicle's electrical circuits or the car itself. Solutions for an automatic transmission car failing to start with abnormal noises: Check for faulty wiring and replace or remove it promptly; replace the spark plugs or ignition coil; inspect whether the starter's signal wire or power wire has come loose; verify that the gear is correctly selected; check if there is sufficient fuel; examine the battery for depletion; use jumper cables to start the vehicle. Additionally, there is a special scenario where the car fails to start—the key cannot be turned. This may occur if the steering wheel is not straightened and the automatic lock engages. When parking, if the steering wheel is not straightened and is at a slightly larger angle (e.g., over 30 degrees), the steering wheel will automatically lock as an anti-theft measure. In this case, the key may not turn, preventing the car from starting. The solution is simple: gently wiggle the steering wheel while turning the key.
