What Causes a Car to Have Power but Fail to Start?
1 Answers
Car has power but fails to start due to issues such as aging distributor wires and electrical circuit problems. Detailed explanations are as follows: Aging Distributor Wires and Other Faults: The reason a car has power and fuel but won't start may be related to the distributor wires, including aging wires, incorrect cylinder wire sequence, damaged distributor, or loose spark plug caps. When attempting to start the engine, if there is a clear sound of the starter working, it indicates that the power supply is functioning properly. If the starter operates normally, the issue might be a clogged fuel line preventing proper fuel delivery. Electrical Circuit Problems: If there is no sound of the starter working when attempting to start the engine, or if the sound is erratic, accompanied by flickering dashboard lights, it suggests an issue with the electrical circuit, possibly due to aging ignition coils or spark plugs.
