The reasons why the Zotye T600 won't start are: 1. It may be due to a dead battery caused by leaving the headlights on for a long time or the battery's lifespan has expired; 2. When starting, the gear must be placed in P or N position. If it is placed in R or D position, the car won't start; 3. Check if there is fuel, and also pay attention to the quality of the fuel. The Zotye T600 model has dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1893mm in width, and 1694mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm; in terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, adopting continuous variable valve timing technology, with a maximum output power of 162 horsepower and a peak torque of 215 Nm; in terms of transmission, the entire series is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Last time I also encountered a Zotye T600 that wouldn't start, and there could be quite a few possible reasons. Battery issues are the prime suspect - like when I forgot to turn off the lights while driving, the car wouldn't start the next day. If the multimeter shows voltage below 12V, you'll need to charge or replace it. For ignition system failures, worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils are common - when I checked my spark plugs, I found carbon buildup that needed cleaning. A broken fuel pump can't deliver fuel properly; try lightly tapping the fuel tank to listen for a buzzing response - no response means trouble. Additionally, the starter motor might be stuck, or a blown fuse could cause a complete power outage - try finding and replacing the corresponding fuse under the hood. Sometimes the anti-theft system might falsely trigger and lock the engine, requiring key re-matching. Never force-start the engine as it may cause damage - better contact a professional shop immediately to prevent minor issues from becoming major ones.
As a frequent driver, I think the most common reason for a car not starting is a minor issue. Don't panic—first check if the car lights turn on. If they don't, it's likely a dead battery, and a simple jump start will solve the problem. If the lights are on but there's no sound when trying to start, it might be a blown fuse or a starter motor issue—just open the fuse box and replace it with a spare. If you hear a clicking sound but the engine won't start, it's probably due to loose or corroded battery terminals; tighten or clean them. Low fuel can also cause stuttering, so check the dashboard warning light and refuel promptly. If everything seems normal but the car still won't start, it's likely an ignition switch failure or sensor error—don't attempt to fix it yourself; take it to a professional for safer repairs. Also, always choose reputable gas stations to avoid poor fuel quality damaging your car.
