What are the reasons why the Excelle has power and fuel but won't start?

The reasons why the Excelle has power and fuel but won't start are as follows: 1. Spark plug damage: Check the spark plug to see if it is aged or has heavy carbon deposits, and replace it with a new one if necessary. 2. Poor contact in the high-voltage wire: Use a multimeter to test whether the resistance is normal. 3. Ignition circuit failure: Use a multimeter to check for any open circuits. 4. The vehicle is too old: The fuel pipe is severely aged, and the vehicle cannot keep up with the fuel supply when starting, often causing failure to start. Therefore, when starting, slightly press the accelerator to make the gasoline circulate faster, making it easier to start.
I encountered the same situation last time when driving my Excelle. The dashboard lights were all on, and there was half a tank of fuel, but it just wouldn't start. After struggling for a while, I found out it was a faulty starter motor. That thing is responsible for turning the engine over, and worn carbon brushes or jammed gears can both cause starting difficulties. Another common issue is a faulty crankshaft position sensor. This sensor is like the engine's eyes—if it's broken, the engine won't know when to ignite or inject fuel. Try listening for the buzzing sound of the starter motor when turning the key. If there's no sound, it's likely one of these two problems. Additionally, carbon buildup clogging the throttle body can also cause this, especially in cars that frequently take short trips. In any case, don't force it—just call a tow truck and have the repair shop read the fault codes. It's the easiest way to handle it.
