What could be the reason if a Geely car won't start?
2 Answers
The following are the reasons why a Geely vehicle may not start: 1. Low gasoline pressure: From the fuel system perspective, the main issue lies in low gasoline pressure and poor atomization; 2. Short circuit or open circuit: From the electrical system perspective, it could be due to excessive spark plug electrode gap, decreased ignition coil energy, or short/open circuits in the cylinder wires; 3. Excessive carbon buildup: Engine mechanical faults are more complex, such as whether the valves are not sealing properly or if there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts, making it difficult to start the engine.
I've been driving a Geely for several years and have experienced the embarrassment of the car not starting, most likely due to a dead battery. Forgetting to turn off the interior lights when parking or not using the car for a long time can drain the battery. When turning the key, you might only hear clicking sounds, but the lights won't turn on or the engine won't start. In such cases, you can try jump-starting the car with another vehicle or buy a portable jump starter for emergencies. Check if the battery terminals are loose or corroded—I often find that sanding the terminals with sandpaper works wonders. During regular maintenance, test the battery health every six months. In winter, low temperatures make it more prone to failure, so preventive measures can save you a lot of trouble. Sometimes, the issue lies with a faulty starter or alternator, causing insufficient current. If you can't diagnose it yourself, it's best to consult a professional repair shop. Don't ignore this problem, as breaking down on the road can be even more troublesome.
