Your car may have an issue starting for a number of reasons
. Some times it is something easy, like a problem with a dead battery. Other times it is more serious issues entirely. Here is a quick look at common problems that happen when a car won't start.
Perhaps there is no noise that comes when you turn the key to your car. No noise is not usually what you would expect to find. The first thing to consider with no noise is that the battery cable is corroded, not dead.
Sometimes you might hear the engine crank but it won't actually turn on. This problem could be caused by the car's fuel supply. Your Utah auto repair shop will also be able to spot another problem if the fuel supply is fine, such as an issue with the electrical spark.
Sometimes your car will make a clicking noise, but the engine won't actually start. This is a good indicator that the battery is dead. If you use jumper cables and the car still won't start it could be a problem with wiring or a bad connection that is loose.
Perhaps your car starts but then dies. This problem usually needs to be seen by a Utah auto repair professional. The fuel injectors or carburetor could cause this issue.
Sometimes cars don't start on rainy days. This can be caused because of moisture and dampness. You will need to evaporate any dampness.
Sometimes the car won't start because it is freezing outside. Sometimes this is just a problem because the temperature has dropped so low. If it continues to be a problem Utah auto repair professionals can run a cold-start diagnostic to see what the problem is.
It can be frustrating to have to deal with a car that refuses to start. Sometimes it is a matter of having forgotten to turn your lights off. Sometimes, however, there is a deeper problem than having a dead battery.
