If you go to start the car one day and it doesn't turn on, there are a few reasons to consider as the underlying problem. The problem may be simple, such as if the car runs out of gasoline, or there may be a broken part that a mechanic will need to fix. You may be able to look for some clues as to the car's problems on your own, such as certain sounds and other warning signs of a problem. If you need a mechanic's assistance or prefer to have a professional technician service your car, contact our dealership for an appointment.
The ignition is a part of the car that converts voltage from the battery to electricity. The ignition coil can get damaged, which prevents battery power from creating the electric energy that the engine needs to run. To diagnose this problem, you'll need to use a tool that measures the ignition's resistance, voltage, and current.
Although the exact lifespan of your car's battery varies, the average lifespan of today's car batteries is approximately 3-5 years. The battery's lifespan can be reduced by half if you live in extreme climates, including sweltering summers or cold winters. The battery will also drain if you leave the car's lights on by accident. A mechanic can check the battery's power levels to see if it's preventing the vehicle from starting.
Your car has a part called the starter motor that helps turn the engine over and fire. The starter can break or become damaged, preventing it from signaling the engine to work. If the starter fails, it will have to be replaced by a mechanic. If you hear clicking after starting the engine, but nothing happens, the starter may be broken.
Your can has a fuel filter in the engine that filters out dirt, dust, and other debris. The engine fuel filter can get clogged with contaminants, preventing air and fuel from reaching the engine. The fuel filter should be inspected and cleaned at around 20,000 miles on most vehicles. The filter may need to be replaced if it gets too dirty.
If the fuel tank in your car gets to empty, the car won't run. Many cars indicate that they are about to run out of gasoline, which means it's time to stop at the pump. The gas gauge may also be broken and show an empty tank even if there is still fuel remaining.
