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

The reasons why the car won't start are: 1. Battery damage: If this is the reason, it needs to be sent to a repair shop for detection by professional computer equipment. In addition, it may also be due to battery depletion. If you often drive at low speeds in the city and frequently use devices such as headlights, air conditioning, and audio, battery depletion may occur; 2. Abnormal air-fuel mixture in the car: This phenomenon occurs when the throttle or idle speed motor is too dirty. If the valve is too dirty, fuel will spray onto the back and be absorbed by carbon deposits; 3. Unstable power supply voltage of the ignition system: In winter, the car's starting resistance is high, including insufficient battery power, which leads to insufficient voltage in the entire ignition system.
I've encountered the issue of a car not starting several times, mostly due to battery problems, such as an aging battery or forgetting to turn off the lights, which drains the power. When trying to start, you only hear a clicking sound but the engine doesn't turn over. If the battery is fine, it could be a starter motor failure, where the motor doesn't spin. The fuel system also needs to be checked—running out of fuel or a faulty fuel pump can show fuel on the gauge but fail to supply it. The ignition system, like dirty spark plugs or a bad coil, can prevent the engine from firing. Other minor issues include the anti-theft lock activating the car key or the automatic transmission not being in the P position. For safety, avoid repeatedly trying to force-start the car, as it may damage more parts. First, simply check if the battery terminals are loose or corroded. If that doesn't work, seek professional repair. Regular maintenance checks on these components can help prevent issues.
