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

Since the spark plug is the key component of the car's ignition system, the performance of the spark plug directly affects the overall working performance and efficiency of the vehicle. Call the service station for rescue, or find another car to jump-start it. After temporarily starting the car, you must go to the service station to recharge the battery.
I used to deal with this situation by jump-starting my car with a friend's vehicle. Take two jumper cables, connect the red clamp to the positive terminals (marked with a + sign) of both car batteries, then attach the black clamp first to the negative terminal of the donor car, and then to the metal frame of the stalled car's engine (be careful not to touch the battery). Start the donor car and rev the engine for about 5 minutes to charge, then try starting your own car. After a successful start, drive for at least 30 minutes to recharge the battery. If you don't have friends to help, I recommend buying a portable jump starter online to keep in your trunk—it's about the size of a power bank. For long-term parking, remember to start the car every two weeks or simply disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
