What to Do When the Car Won't Start After Sitting for a While?
1 Answers
Reasons and solutions for a car not starting after sitting for a while are as follows: 1. Spark plugs not working: Clean the spark plugs. 2. Insufficient fuel: Refuel. Check the fuel level in the tank regularly; when it approaches the warning level, refuel promptly. 3. Battery depletion: Replace the battery periodically. 4. Improper operation, wrong gear selection: Shift to the correct gear. Generally, automatic transmission models can only start when shifted to P (Park) gear; if left in R (Reverse) or D (Drive) gear, the car won't start. Some manual transmission cars also won't start if the clutch is not depressed.
