What are the reasons why a Mazda6 with power and fuel fails to start?

Here are the specific reasons why a Mazda6 with power and fuel fails to start: 1. Insufficient voltage: When the car battery does not have enough voltage, it cannot provide sufficient power to the starter. If the battery voltage is too low, it is best to check the battery voltage using a multimeter in voltage mode. If the voltage is below 10V, it is recommended to replace the battery directly. 2. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality fuel can lead to excessive carbon buildup in the engine, affecting its normal operation. Additionally, it is necessary to check the car's intake pipes, as clogged intake pipes can cause difficulty in starting the vehicle.
When it comes to the Mazda6 having both electricity and fuel but failing to start, the most common issue I encounter is ignition system failure. If the spark plugs are worn out or severely carbon-fouled, weak ignition can make it difficult to start the engine; if the ignition coil is damaged, it won’t produce any spark at all; clogged fuel injectors preventing fuel spray is another frequent problem. In the fuel system, a faulty fuel pump can lead to insufficient pressure, preventing fuel from reaching the engine, even if the fuel gauge shows normal levels. Sensors like the crankshaft position sensor, if broken, prevent the ECU from knowing the engine’s position and controlling the ignition timing. Insufficient compression can also cause starting issues, though it’s rarer. I once helped a friend fix a similar car—using an OBD scanner, we identified the issue as a faulty ignition module, and a simple replacement solved the problem. I recommend checking spark plugs and the fuel filter every six months and addressing them during oil changes to effectively prevent these minor troubles. After all, ignition problems affect driving safety, so don’t delay repairs.
