What Causes a Chevrolet Cavalier to Fail to Start?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a Chevrolet Cavalier may fail to start: 1. Weak Battery: A weak battery can prevent the vehicle from starting, typically manifesting as the starter not working or turning over insufficiently when attempting to start. 2. Fuel Flow Obstruction: This usually appears as a lack of fuel pressure in the engine's fuel supply line. At extremely low temperatures, water mixed with debris can block the fuel line, causing the engine to fail to start. 3. Poor Ignition System Performance: In cold weather, the low intake temperature can lead to poor fuel atomization in the cylinders. Combined with insufficient ignition energy, this can result in cylinder flooding, where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinder, exceeding the flammable concentration limit and preventing ignition.
