Why does the BYD F0 not start despite having fuel and electricity?
2 Answers
BYD F0 not starting despite having fuel and electricity is caused by poor contact of the starter solenoid coil. In this situation, you can try tapping the starter solenoid coil with a pipe. If that doesn't work, the starter may need to be replaced. The BYD F0 is equipped with a BYD371QA all-aluminum high-performance eco-friendly engine. Compared to cast iron engines, the all-aluminum construction significantly reduces weight, thereby improving the vehicle's fuel efficiency. The BYD F0 is a premium compact car launched by BYD, with body dimensions of 3460mm in length, 1618mm in width, and 1465mm in height.
I've encountered this issue several times and discussed it with friends. It's quite common for small cars like the BYD F0 to have fuel and electricity but fail to start. The most frequent culprit is the starter motor—it might be stuck or broken. Try turning the key; if the lights flicker but the engine doesn’t respond, it’s likely the motor needs replacing. Next is the ignition system—issues like worn spark plugs or a faulty ignition coil can prevent proper combustion. If the anti-theft system is triggered, the key might need reprogramming; a simple system reboot could help. Don’t assume ‘having fuel and power’ means everything’s fine—low fuel pump pressure or weak battery voltage (below 12V) can also cause trouble. As cars age, these minor faults often surface. It’s best to visit a repair shop to check the motor, wiring, and sensors, as delays could damage the battery or leave you stranded. Last time, I fixed the motor for just over 200 yuan, and it was done quickly.
