The reasons for the long starting time of the Highlander may include insufficient gasoline pressure, insufficient cylinder pressure, or incorrect ignition timing. Simply check for leaks in the fuel inlet pipe, blockages in the gasoline filter, leaks in the cylinder gasket, and adjust the ignition timing. Common fault points for weak starting include: 1. Long-term parking of the car: The usage time of the car battery is the main cause of power loss. Typically, the lifespan of a car battery is two to three years. If it exceeds this period, the car is highly likely to experience power loss after being parked for two to three days, leading to weak starting. 2. Forgetting to turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine: Most car owners are accustomed to not turning off the air conditioning or letting it start automatically when the vehicle is started. This causes the air conditioning system to automatically start working every time the ignition switch is turned on, directly resulting in an excessive instantaneous power load on the vehicle. Over time, this can cause wear and tear on the battery. 3. Damage to the starter motor: Wear of the carbon brushes inside the starter motor leads to insufficient rotation speed of the starter motor, making it difficult to drive the engine's flywheel, thus resulting in the symptom of weak starting.
