Sometimes trouble starts even before your car does. Almost every driver has faced the dreaded scenario of a vehicle that won't start. Sometimes you turn the key, and nothing happens. Other times, you might turn the key and hear your car struggling to get that spark it needs to go. If you've discovered your vehicle doesn't feel like starting today, there are a few good reasons this might be happening.
The fuel filter sometimes gets clogged and prevents fuel from reaching the engine. If there's a blockage in your fuel filter, the engine won't cooperate and start. It believes it's out of gas. In reality, there's just something blocking the fuel from going where it needs to go. A professional auto mechanic can examine your fuel filter and make sure this isn't the culprit behind a vehicle that won't start.
Your battery provides power to your vehicle. Many things can go wrong with a battery, including extreme temperature responses and corrosion over time. If you've got an old battery, this might be the first cause that mechanics will look for in the diagnostic codes. This is very frequently the issue behind a vehicle not starting.
Today's modern vehicles are better at letting you know when you're low on fuel, but older automobiles have just a gauge that's easy to ignore. If it's been a while since you put gas in your vehicle, it might be easy to overlook that your car is out of gas. If your vehicle doesn't start, be sure to make sure it's not out of fuel.
Your ignition looks simple, but it's a highly complex component that hooks your vehicle to its power sources. A professional mechanic will know how to examine your ignition and make sure there's nothing disconnected or defective about it.
An electric motor works with your starter to get your vehicle fired up and ready for a day of service. If something goes wrong with this connection, your car won't start. If you have a key ignition, you'll notice this one right away. Your vehicle won't crank at all. In other scenarios, the vehicle might attempt to crank but then die out. With this, you'll just find that nothing turns and sparks the way it should.
