What to Do When a Vehicle Won't Start?

[Marty]

Here are the solutions for a car that won't start: 1. Jump-start the battery or replace it. When the battery is dead, the starter won't work, preventing the vehicle from starting. In this case, the only solutions are to jump-start the battery or replace it. 2. Reset the gear to P (Park). If the vehicle is in D (Drive), it won't start due to the vehicle's safety mechanism, which is not a malfunction. Simply shift back to P (Park) to start the engine. 3. Turn the key to the ignition-on position. 4. Replace or clean the spark plugs. 5. Take the vehicle to a repair shop.
