Why Won't My Baojun 730 Start?

[LaAnderson]

Baojun 730 failing to start may be caused by a depleted vehicle battery or an empty fuel tank. Specific reasons: Failure to start could be due to a discharged vehicle battery, lack of fuel in the tank, issues with the engine intake tract, or frozen exhaust pipes - all of which can prevent the car from starting. Solutions: When encountering starting issues, first check the vehicle's battery. In most cases, excessive battery depletion is the primary cause of startup failure. During annual vehicle maintenance, the battery should be tested to evaluate its wear level. If battery wear reaches 90%, it's necessary to replace it with a new one to prevent operational failures.

I was completely panicked when my Baojun 730 wouldn't start. There could be various reasons, such as the battery being too low or too old to hold a charge; the starter motor being stuck and unresponsive; or a fuel pump failure cutting off the fuel supply. If there's no sound at all when trying to start, it's most likely a battery issue. If you hear a clicking sound but the engine doesn't start, it might be a faulty ignition coil or carbon buildup on the spark plugs. This is especially common in cold weather when battery performance drops quickly. It's recommended to first try jump-starting the car and check if any warning lights are on the dashboard. I replace the battery regularly to prevent issues; it's best not to delay and take the car to a repair shop immediately for a full inspection of the wiring and fuel system to avoid getting stranded on the road.

As a long-time owner of the Baojun 730, I'm quite familiar with starting issues. Listening to the starting sound is key: silence suggests battery failure; a clicking sound without engine turnover may indicate starter gear wear; normal ignition but no start points to a clogged fuel filter. Loose battery terminals are also a common cause. I always keep jumper cables on hand for emergencies. Humid weather can exacerbate problems; it's recommended to inspect the ignition and fuel systems every 5,000 kilometers. Regularly replacing spark plugs can improve stability. If you repeatedly fail to start the engine, don't force it—seek professional diagnosis and repair from a mechanic to minimize further damage.

My experience with the 730 not starting has led me to some conclusions. Common issues include an aging battery with low voltage, making it hard to start. If turning the key yields no response, quickly check if the battery connections are loose; or is the fuel gauge showing anomalies? Sometimes the anti-theft lock gets activated and causes trouble—try removing and reinserting the key. Regular maintenance is essential, such as replacing the battery every two to three years; if that doesn’t work, contact a 4S shop for a professional inspection.
