Why does the car have no response when starting despite having fuel and electricity?

It might be caused by poor contact of the starter solenoid coil. In this case, it is recommended to gently tap the starter solenoid coil with a short iron pipe. If this doesn't work, the starter may need to be replaced. When using the key to start, please remember the following precautions: 1. Do not turn to 'start': After the engine starts, do not turn the key back to the 'start' position, and do not use a modified key. Otherwise, the key may not automatically return to the 'on' position, causing the starter to continue running, which could damage the starter or lead to a fire due to excessive load. 2. Do not crank for too long: The ignition switch should not remain in the 'start' position for more than 5 seconds. If the engine fails to start on the first attempt, wait at least 30 seconds before trying again. While driving, never turn the ignition switch to the 'lock' or 'acc' position, as this could disable the steering wheel, brakes, and power steering system.
Oh, I’m an experienced driver who’s been behind the wheel for years, and I’ve seen this kind of thing quite often. Your car has fuel and battery power, but it just won’t start, right? Sounds like a problem with the starting system. The carbon brushes in the starter motor might be worn or damaged, preventing it from turning; or the battery terminals could be loose or corroded, blocking the current flow; or maybe the starter relay is burnt out and not functioning. I’d suggest first checking the battery connections yourself—tighten them up and clean off any rust—then try jump-starting the starter to see if there’s any response. If that doesn’t work, it might be an ignition system issue, like dirty spark plugs or an activated anti-theft lock. A car that won’t start can be dangerous, so don’t force it by pushing—get it to a repair shop in time. Regular electrical system maintenance can prevent these problems.
