What are the reasons why the Kia K2 cannot start despite having electricity and oil?

There are many reasons why the Kia K2 cannot start, such as the steering wheel being locked. The solution is simple: just turn the steering wheel forcefully while turning the key, and the steering wheel lock will usually be released quickly. Other reasons include the parking gear not being in the P position, the smart key being out of power, the battery being dead, or not adding antifreeze. Here are some additional details: Solutions: Check if there is fuel. If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, the car naturally won't start. Also, pay attention to the quality of the fuel. There have been cases where a car owner found water and mud in the fuel tank after opening it. Using such fuel, it's impossible for the car not to break down.
I've been driving a Kia K2 for three years, and last time I encountered the embarrassing situation where the car had power and fuel but just wouldn't start. It turned out to be aged spark plugs causing ignition failure. The K2's ignition coils or spark plugs are prone to carbon buildup, and insufficient voltage can prevent ignition. At first, I thought it might be a battery or fuel pump issue, but replacing the spark plugs fixed the problem. This is a common issue with older cars, so it's recommended to check them every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, the anti-theft system might sometimes trigger a false lock; try holding the unlock button on the key for a few seconds to reset it. If sensors like the crankshaft position sensor fail, the engine might refuse to start due to interrupted signals to the electronic control unit. Don't delay repairs—ignoring the issue could lead to a breakdown on the road, which isn't safe.
