What to Do When a Car Won't Start After Sitting for a Long Time?

[MacNathan]

If you are sure there is fuel in the tank, the reason may be a dead battery. You can use another car to jump-start the engine. If it still doesn't start, it is recommended to call the 4S shop for repair. Here is some relevant information: 1. When the car is not used for a long time, it is best to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent automatic discharge from depleting the battery. If the car doesn't start after sitting for a long time, you can ask a friend to come over and help jump-start it. 2. Leaving a car unused for a long time not only damages the battery but also harms the engine, tires, and other components. Prolonged inactivity causes the engine oil to oxidize and deteriorate, and some engine parts may rust. Additionally, tires bearing weight on a single spot for an extended period will have their lifespan reduced. If parked in a very damp underground garage for a long time, the chassis components of the car may also rust.
