What could be the reason for a Tiida having power but failing to start?
2 Answers
Tiida having power but failing to start may indicate issues with the ignition system or the generator. Abnormal fuel level: Abnormal fuel levels can cause the Tiida to have power but fail to start normally. Check if the fuel level is sufficient and whether there is excessive fuel in the carburetor. Electrical circuit abnormalities: Inspect the electrical circuit by removing the high-voltage wire from the spark plug and placing the high-voltage cap about half a centimeter away from the cylinder body while starting the car to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark, the issue is likely a damaged spark plug. Common electrical faults include blown fuses, open circuits in the high-voltage coil, open circuits in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor rotors, and damaged spark plugs.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I find it quite common for the Nissan Tiida to have power but fail to start. This is mostly due to starter issues, such as a stuck motor or poor wire contact. I encountered this while repairing a car before—the owner said the dashboard lights were on, the music could play, but pressing the start button yielded no response. First, check if the battery has enough charge; if the voltage is too low, it may only power small electronics but fail to start the engine. Second, ignition system failures, like spark plug carbon buildup or aging ignition coils, can prevent sparks from firing. A mislocked anti-theft system is another reason, where the key fails to register properly. Don’t overlook a faulty fuel pump, as no fuel pressure means no combustion. For safety, get it diagnosed at a repair shop ASAP—don’t force it on the road. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn parts are recommended.
