Starting Problems?
It can be frustrating when your car simply will not start. You turn the key in the ignition, but it does not even crank. There are so many reasons for a No-Start read on:
Dead Battery:
The most common reason your car will not start is a dead battery. When you turn the key, it could be the battery or a problem with the starter. If you have an older Battery, it could die at any time. You can try jump-starting the car or replacing the battery if it is too old.
Starter Motor:
If the battery is good but the car still refuses to start, then the starter motor could be the issue. If the Starter Motor is the culprit, the car won’t start. You can try tapping on the starter or checking the connections to see if this helps.
Fuel System:
If the starter motor is fine, the next possible cause is the fuel system. The Fuel Pump is going bad or the Fuel Line is clogged, the car may not start. One that might be obvious is, are you out of gas? Fuel Pump, filter or injectors might be bad.
Ignition System:
The ignition system is crucial in starting your car. If the spark plugs are worn out or there are issues with the ignition coil or distributor, then it can cause starting issues. Make sure that your spark plugs are checked and replaced at regular intervals to avoid this issue.
Alternator:
Lastly, an issue with the alternator can also cause a no start situation. This is responsible for charging the battery while driving. When the Alternator is bad, the battery will not charge and will eventually die. If you keep experiencing battery failure or the battery light is illuminated on your dashboard, then you should have your alternator checked.
Doing the small things like Regular Maintenance could have caught any of the above components and saved you the headache of a no-start. Stay safe on the road!
