What's the reason if a car won't start?
2 Answers
Reasons why a car won't start are as follows: Battery depletion or damage: If the car won't start and there's a squeaking sound from the engine area when turning the key, it can be determined that the battery is the issue. For specific judgment, you can open the engine hood and observe the inspection hole of the battery. Green indicates good condition, while black indicates a problem. Generally, there will be instructions on the surface of the battery. Car has no power: There are usually three solutions: First: Jump-start the car. Second: Purchase a battery yourself and install or remove it. Third: Hire someone to come and install it. You can contact a 4S shop or use a mobile app to arrange this. Engine problems: If the engine has issues, the scope of the problem is broader. Problems such as issues with the ignition system, faulty spark plugs, fuel system malfunctions, or intake system failures can all cause the car not to start. If this is the case, you can only seek help from a 4S shop or professional technicians to identify the problem, determine the cause, and then apply the appropriate remedy.
Last year, I encountered a problem where my car wouldn't start. At first, I thought it was a dead battery because it was a cold morning, and there was no response when I pressed the key—even the lights were dim. Later, I called a friend to jump-start it, but the issue persisted. Eventually, I found out it was a problem with the ignition system—the spark plugs had aged and couldn't ignite properly. Honestly, in such cases, the first thing that comes to mind is a weak battery, especially in winter when battery activity decreases. I recommend you first check the battery voltage and see if the interior lights or horn are working normally. If the lights are dim, quickly use a charger or seek professional help. Avoid repeatedly trying to start the car to prevent damaging the starter. Also, remember to maintain the battery regularly to avoid sudden starting difficulties after long periods of inactivity. Additionally, a dead key fob battery can also mislead people into thinking it's a starting issue—try replacing the small battery. In short, safety comes first—don't force it.
