What to Do If the Car Won't Start After Long-Term Storage?

Solutions for a car that won't start after long-term storage: Before starting the car, turn the key to the ON position, then back to the START position to ignite, allowing the computer to calculate the water temperature and appropriate air intake, which should help start the car. Reasons why a car won't start after long-term storage: 1. Fuel quality issues—always refuel at reputable gas stations. When traveling, you can use a gauze to cover the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities. 2. Lack of antifreeze—adding water or using low-quality antifreeze can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold weather, leading to cracked engine blocks and non-functional water pumps, resulting in failure to start and damage to other engine components. 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle can also prevent it from starting. The solution is to frequently drive at high speeds to reduce carbon buildup.
