What is the problem when the Geely Boyue suddenly stalls and fails to start?
2 Answers
Geely Boyue fails to start possibly due to damaged spark plugs. Battery dead or faulty: In low temperatures, the battery's output power decreases due to increased electrolyte viscosity, reduced permeability, and heightened resistance, making it difficult for the starter to drag the engine and reach the minimum starting speed, affecting engine ignition. Check the battery voltage with a multimeter or directly test with a new battery. Insufficient fuel: Discovering no fuel in the car due to incorrect dashboard display. Some vehicles have inaccurate fuel gauge pointers; when the fuel warning light comes on, promptly add fuel. Otherwise, the vehicle may struggle to start, especially in winter when temperatures are very low. You can press the fuel pipe while starting to feel for fuel pressure.
I remember last time when my Geely Boyue suddenly stalled on the highway and wouldn’t start, it really scared me. My first thought was a battery issue, so I checked if the positive and negative terminals were loose or corroded—cars that frequently travel long distances are prone to this. If they’re loose, you can try tightening them with a wrench. Then listen for the fuel pump’s sound; if you don’t hear a humming noise when starting, the fuel pump might be broken. I’ve also seen cases where aged spark plugs caused ignition system failures, leaving the car dead in its tracks. Later, the mechanic told me that sensor malfunctions in modern cars are another common factor, like a dirty oxygen sensor affecting combustion—in such cases, you’d need to visit a 4S shop for professional diagnostics. These sudden breakdowns are too dangerous. Before towing, it’s best to move the car to a safe spot, turn on the hazard lights to warn others, and prevent secondary accidents. Always stay cautious to avoid unexpected troubles on the road.
