What to Do When the Car Key Doesn't Start the Engine?

[DelaneyAnn]

When the car key doesn't start the engine, there could be multiple reasons, mostly related to fuel or electrical issues. First, we should check if the fuel level is insufficient. Without the power source "gasoline," the car naturally won't start. If the issue is due to a lack of fuel, you can seek help from nearby drivers, request fuel assistance, or arrange for a tow to the nearest gas station as emergency measures. Below are other possible reasons why the car won't start. 1. Incorrect gear selection can also prevent the car from starting. Normally, the correct gears for starting an automatic transmission car are P or N. If the driver accidentally leaves the gear in R or another position, not only will the car fail to start, but it may also pose a safety risk. 2. If the issue is electrical, the car's failure to start may occur suddenly. Common electrical faults that prevent the car from starting include: blown fuses, open circuits in the high-voltage coil, open circuits in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor rotors, or damaged spark plugs.
