What are the reasons for the Reiz car not starting at all?
3 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why the Reiz car does not start at all: 1. Carbon buildup in the car: When idling, it is accompanied by slight shaking, and cleaning the throttle and fuel injectors can solve the problem. 2. Weak ignition energy of the spark plug: If the spark plug is not replaced after the maintenance cycle, the ignition energy of the spark plug will decrease severely, causing misfire. 3. Insufficient fuel low pressure: Insufficient oil pressure in the low-pressure oil circuit directly leads to secondary ignition of the engine. Specifically, check the fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, and internal pipelines. 4. Battery depletion: You need to find another car or another battery to jump-start it.
I've been driving a Reiz for several years and have encountered a situation where the car wouldn't start at all. That time when I tried to ignite, the dashboard had power but the starter didn't respond, which was particularly frustrating. I suspected it might be due to a weak battery, as the lights had been dim before. Indeed, the battery that had been used for over three years was failing, with too low charge to start the car. It could also be a starter motor issue, such as worn carbon brushes or a stuck gear inside. Another thing to watch out for is the terminal connections; if they're rusted or loose, the current can't pass through, causing similar symptoms. The anti-theft system is another critical point—sometimes the chip key gets interfered with or isn't detected, locking the system and preventing startup. Finally, I'd suggest borrowing a charger from a friend to try charging the battery. If that doesn't work, it's best to drive it to a repair shop to check the fuses and circuits. To sum up these experiences, replacing the battery early is the safest bet to avoid being unable to start the car when you're in a hurry to leave in the morning.
When encountering a no-start issue, I've found through personal tinkering that the most common causes are a dead or faulty battery. Think about it—the Toyota Mark X (Reiz) has quite a few electronic systems. If the car isn't driven frequently, the battery tends to drain easily. You might see the dashboard lights up, but pressing the start button yields no response at all. I've also seen starter motor failures where the internal coils might be burnt out, requiring disassembly for inspection. Wiring issues are common too—like loose or corroded battery terminals causing poor contact, which can often be fixed with a simple cleaning. Another easily overlooked culprit is the ignition switch or key chip problem; if the anti-theft function is accidentally triggered, it completely locks the system. My suggestion is to try a quick method first: pop the hood and check the battery voltage with a multimeter. If it's below 12 volts, charge or replace the battery. If the problem persists, inspect the relevant starter fuses in the fuse box for any blown ones. Those with decent DIY skills can handle these steps, saving unnecessary expenses. In short, don’t panic—troubleshoot step by step.
