Why won't the Roewe RX5 start?
2 Answers
Here are the reasons why the Roewe RX5 won't start: 1. Circuit or electronic failure: The phenomenon occurs very suddenly without any warning. Circuit failures include blown fuses, open high-voltage coils, open low-voltage circuits, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor heads, and damaged spark plugs. Electronic failure mainly refers to the loss of function of the central computer control board. 2. Fuel system failure: Engine shutdown caused by fuel system failure often has symptoms such as weak engine power and the accelerator pedal feeling like stepping on cotton. 3. Possible locations of fuel system failure include: fuel pump failure, blocked fuel lines, clogged fuel filters, carburetor failure, damaged injectors, etc. Sometimes, the fuel tank may be empty without the owner realizing it. Adding a few liters of gasoline can solve all the problems.
I've been driving for over twenty years, and the Roewe RX5 not starting is quite common. First, check the battery: Are the dashboard lights on? If not, it means there's no power—quickly find jumper cables or charge it. If the lights are on but the starter makes no sound, the starter might be stuck or the key fob battery is weak—Roewe's keyless start relies on key sensing, so try replacing the battery. The fuel system is also crucial; check the fuel gauge—if there's no fuel, just add some. If the fuel pump is faulty, there will be strange noises when starting but the car won't start. Worn spark plugs or ignition coils can also prevent the car from starting—those with DIY skills can inspect these parts. It's best not to delay too long; call a tow truck for a full inspection at a repair shop to save time and ensure safety first. For prevention, regular maintenance of the battery and fuel filter can reduce risks.
