What's the reason for the GAC Trumpchi GS3 not starting?
2 Answers
GAC Trumpchi GS3 not starting reasons are as follows: Use appropriate engine oil: In winter, as the temperature drops, the viscosity of the engine oil increases, making it harder to flow, which in turn increases engine resistance. If starting is difficult, check whether the engine oil grade used is incorrect. Replace spark plugs in time: After several years of use, spark plugs are prone to problems such as carbon deposits, leakage, excessive gap, and erosion, which can make it difficult to start the car, cold start, or even engine start, often requiring multiple ignition attempts. Therefore, when the vehicle reaches a certain mileage or if you experience difficulty starting, weak driving, shaking, increased fuel consumption, or unexplained stalling, check the condition of the spark plugs and replace them in time.
I occasionally have trouble starting my GAC Trumpchi GS3, and the issue is mostly due to an aging battery, especially in winter when it's prone to draining. Check if the battery terminals are loose or corroded; if there's no response at all when starting, it could be a broken main power or ground wire. Another possibility is a stuck starter motor or a faulty relay, in which case you'll hear a clicking sound but the car won't start. Don't forget the fuel system—a failed fuel pump or insufficient fuel pressure can also cause this. Try pressing the accelerator while starting again. Blown circuit fuses are common; locate the fuse box and try replacing them. Safety tip: If the car won't start, don't force it. Use a jump starter or have it towed to a repair shop. Remember to turn off the radio and lights when parking to extend battery life.
