What to Do When the Car Doesn't Start and the Motor Doesn't Respond?
1 Answers
The solutions for when the car doesn't start and the motor doesn't respond are as follows: 1. When neither the horn nor the headlights respond: Use a wire to test for sparks at the starter's connection point. If there are sparks, the issue is likely a short circuit in the wiring between the starter and the ammeter. If no sparks are found, it could be due to insufficient battery charge or wiring faults. 2. When using a screwdriver to test for sparks at the negative terminal of the ignition coil: If there are sparks, you can test for sparks between the distributor contact arm and the base plate. If sparks are present, the issue is with the contacts, which can be fixed by adjusting the contact gap using a points file.
