Why does the Geely Englon suddenly fail to start?
3 Answers
Geely Englon suddenly fails to start for the following reasons: Battery depletion: When the car battery is depleted, the car will fail to start. There are many reasons for car battery depletion, such as lack of water in the battery, battery failure, or prolonged use of the air conditioning. Check if there is any problem with the car battery and then send it to a 4S store for repair. Ignition system failure: The function of the car ignition system is to provide high voltage to the spark plug on time to ensure the normal operation of the car. If the car fails to start and the battery is ruled out, it may be due to a failure in the car's ignition system. Poor connection in the low-voltage circuit or leakage in the high-voltage line can cause the car's ignition system to fail, thus affecting the car and making it difficult to start.
As a long-time owner of a Geely Emgrand, I've encountered several instances where the car wouldn't start. One particularly frustrating morning was during winter when I was getting ready for work—the dashboard lights were on, but the starter wouldn't engage at all. It turned out the battery had reached the end of its lifespan and was severely depleted. From this experience, I learned that other common causes include a clogged or underperforming fuel pump, especially when the fuel level is low; excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs affecting ignition; or thick engine oil in cold weather making starting difficult. When troubleshooting, first listen to the starting sound: if there's only a weak response, it might be a starter motor issue; complete silence suggests checking fuses or battery connections. It's wise to keep a portable jump starter handy, but if the problem occurs frequently, it's best to visit a professional shop for diagnosis to avoid travel disruptions. For regular maintenance, I recommend checking the battery health every six months and inspecting spark plug conditions during routine servicing.
I have a basic understanding of cars. Failure to start is mostly related to the electrical or fuel system. For example, insufficient battery voltage, prolonged parking or forgetting to turn off electrical devices may drain the battery, in which case the dashboard will dim; a clogged fuel filter can obstruct the fuel line, or a faulty fuel pump may fail to supply fuel; another issue could be aging or malfunctioning ignition components like high-voltage wires. Having worked in a repair shop, I would suggest first using a multimeter to check the battery voltage—it should be above 12V to be normal. If the voltage is good but the engine still won't start, focus on checking the starter relay or spark plugs. In Geely Englon cars, this issue is often caused by unstable voltage. Remember not to force-start the car to prevent battery damage—safety first, and get it repaired as soon as possible to identify potential hazards.
