What to do when the car shows EPC and won't start?

[LaAnastasia]

The issue of a car showing EPC and failing to start can often be resolved by restarting the vehicle. Here is more relevant information: 1. Solutions if the EPC light remains on after restarting: (1) It might be a fault in the car's intake system, which requires inspection. (2) Check the car's throttle to ensure it's functioning properly. (3) Inspect the car's cylinder pressure to confirm it's normal; abnormal cylinder pressure or poor working conditions can also trigger the EPC warning light. (4) Sometimes, the EPC light may illuminate due to a false alarm, which can be resolved by restarting the car. 2. Introduction to EPC: EPC stands for Electronic-Power-Control, known in Chinese as the engine electronic stability system, also referred to as the electronic throttle. When the car won't start and the EPC indicator lights up, it usually indicates a fault in this system. The EPC indicator is commonly seen in Volkswagen vehicles. Typically, when the ignition is turned on, the vehicle performs a self-check, during which the EPC light will illuminate but should turn off shortly after. If the light remains on after the vehicle starts, it indicates a mechanical or electronic system fault that needs immediate attention to avoid affecting normal driving.
