What are the reasons why a Roewe car won't start?

Roewe car won't start due to incorrect gear position, dead battery, spark plug carbon buildup or malfunction, or lack of fuel. Below are detailed explanations and solutions for the reasons why a car won't start: For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position when starting. If placed in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car won't start. Some manual transmission vehicles also won't start if the clutch isn't depressed. A dead battery caused by leaving headlights on for extended periods or an expired battery lifespan, as well as aftermarket installations like xenon headlights or high-power audio systems that may cause circuit failures. It's generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. First check the car's spark plugs, which are crucial components in the ignition system. The vehicle's ignition system is key to whether the engine runs properly, so spark plug condition directly affects vehicle performance and efficiency. You can unscrew the spark plugs to dry them, then reinstall to start the car. If conditions permit, visit a 4S shop to inspect the ignition system and eliminate causes of low ignition energy, such as spark plug electrode gap, ignition coil energy, or high-voltage line condition. Refueling will allow the car to start.
My Roewe has had a few instances of not starting after prolonged use. The most common issue is a weak or aged battery, or loose connections causing insufficient voltage to crank the engine. Another problem could be a faulty starter motor - you hear clicking sounds but nothing happens, requiring part replacement. The fuel system also needs checking; if the fuel pump fails or the filter is clogged, fuel won't reach the engine, preventing ignition. Cold winter weather exacerbates the problem as higher oil viscosity affects startup. It's best to first try jump-starting; if that doesn't work, check the dashboard for warning lights. If you're not mechanically savvy, don't force it - last time I wasted hours tinkering only to find out at the shop it was a burnt relay, a minor fix costing 200 yuan.
