What's the reason for a car not starting?

Insufficient car battery power or low fuel level, these are the easiest items to check. It could also be that the battery is failing; car batteries typically last about four years, though with good maintenance and usage, they can last six or seven years. If the issue isn't the battery, it might be a problem with the ignition system or fuel supply system, in which case the car will need to be towed to a repair shop. Here's a detailed breakdown: 1. First, check the spark plugs: Since spark plugs are crucial to the car's ignition system, and the ignition system is key to the engine's operation, the performance of the spark plugs directly affects the vehicle's overall performance and efficiency. 2. Battery depletion: The characteristic symptom is the starter motor beginning to turn but not having enough speed or power, eventually making only a clicking sound without turning. Low temperatures in winter or forgetting to turn off certain electrical devices can prevent the car from starting, especially with long-term short-distance, low-speed usage in winter, which can cause the battery voltage to drop below the rated value, making starting and normal operation impossible. If this happens, call the service center for assistance, or find another car to jump-start it, or temporarily start the engine, after which you must take the car to the service center to recharge the battery.
