What Are the Reasons Why a Car Cannot Start After Being Parked?

[LauraLynn]

The reasons why a car cannot start after being parked are: 1. Insufficient or dead battery power; 2. Clogged fuel filter; 3. Deteriorated engine oil, leading to poor lubrication; 4. Insufficient fuel in the tank. When the vehicle is idle, it is recommended to start the car once every one or two weeks to charge the battery. If this is not feasible, simply disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent it from draining. It is important to note that overcharging with a charger should be avoided. Although the current generated by the charger is not very high, prolonged boiling of the electrolyte can cause fine particles on the surface of the active material to detach easily. In severe cases, it may also lead to oxidation of the grid, resulting in loose separation of the active material from the grid.
