What Causes No Response When Starting a Car with Electric Ignition?

[OKeira]

No response when starting a car with electric ignition is usually caused by poor contact in the starter solenoid or the gear not being in the P position. Below are related explanations for no response during electric ignition: Poor contact in the starter solenoid: In this case, it is recommended to gently tap the starter solenoid with a short iron pipe. If this doesn't work, the starter may need to be replaced. A faulty distributor can also prevent ignition. Gear not in the P position: This happens because the gear is not in the P position. Most car models are factory-set to prevent ignition if the gear is not in P, primarily for safety reasons. This prevents the car from lurching forward unexpectedly if the gear is in D or R when starting.
