What are the reasons for the Roewe 360 not responding when starting?

The reasons for the Roewe 360 not responding when starting include insufficient battery voltage, fuel supply system failure, and poor ignition system performance. Insufficient battery voltage: The battery may be faulty or excessively discharged, leading to insufficient power to drive the starter motor. Normally, the starting voltage of the battery should not be lower than 11.45V. If it falls below this voltage, the vehicle will not start properly. You can use a multimeter to check the voltage between the battery terminals. If necessary, replace the battery or use jumper cables to start the vehicle. Fuel supply system failure: Issues such as clogged low-pressure fuel lines, loose or leaking fuel pipes, air in the high-pressure fuel lines, poor injector condition, or incorrect injection timing can all lead to fuel supply system failure. In such cases, there will be insufficient combustible gas in the cylinder, preventing the engine from starting. It is necessary to visit a repair facility to systematically check each component of the fuel supply system for proper operation. Poor ignition system performance: Components like the ignition coil and spark plugs in the ignition system are wear parts and typically need replacement every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If they are not replaced for a long time, the ignition energy may be insufficient, failing to fully ignite the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder, resulting in a no-start condition.

I've been driving the Roewe 360 for several years, and it's quite common to encounter starting issues. The first thing to check is the battery, as aging or loose connections are the main culprits. In winter, low temperatures can cause the battery to drain even faster. Next, take a look at the starter motor. If you don't hear a clicking sound when trying to start the car, it might be a faulty relay or a problem with the motor itself. The fuel system can also be troublesome—issues like a non-functioning fuel pump or a clogged filter could be to blame. Before checking, try shaking the fuel tank to listen for any unusual sounds. Also, be aware that the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) might malfunction, leading to failed signal transmission. My advice is to first attempt a jump start. If that doesn’t work, try replacing the fuse or calling a professional mechanic. Repeatedly trying to start the car can drain the battery further and cause more damage. I always check the dashboard lights before driving to catch issues early. Developing this habit can reduce such problems by half.

My Roewe 360 didn't respond at all when I tried to start it last time, which completely baffled me. I quickly searched online and found that the key fob might be out of battery, so I tried the spare key first. If that didn't work, I checked whether the gear was in P position - if not properly engaged, the car won't start. Then I checked if the lights turned on. If the lights worked normally, it might indicate the battery was fine; if not, the battery might be dead or there could be charging system issues. I also noticed extreme hot or cold weather could cause this, so in summer don't leave the car exposed to sunlight for too long. Eventually I had to contact the 4S shop for inspection, and they diagnosed it as a starter motor failure. Beginners can buy simple tools to test battery voltage, and should regularly follow the maintenance manual's inspection procedures to avoid being stranded on the road.

My Roewe 360 has experienced starting issues, so let's start with simple checks. Are the battery terminals loose? Try tightening them with a wrench. If the dashboard doesn't light up, a fuse might be blown—locate the fuse box and replace it. A worn-out starter motor can also cause clicking sounds without the engine starting. Or it could be a fuel pump failure preventing fuel from reaching the engine. Avoid multiple ignition attempts as they severely drain the battery. Get an assistant to check headlight status first. For safety, stop immediately without panic. For long-term parking, remember to disconnect the negative terminal to conserve power.
