Did you ever get out of your vehicle, jump in the cab and turn the ignition only to discover that the engine is stalling? It's not uncommon. Cars aren't always predictable, like all machinery. You may be cruising along the highway one day, but the next day you're stuck in your drivewayand completely confused. Although it may take you some time to be apathetic about the universe, diagnosing is the next thing to do. Now it's time for you to figure out what happened to your vehicle in the time between the last time you drove it and this one. Here are five reasons that could be the reason the car won't begin.

 

1. The Car Battery is Dead

Dead car batteries are the most common reason that cars are left humming away in the garage. The battery is the engine of your vehicle, providing electricity to the lights, wipers radio, and the ignition. If the battery doesn't supply enough power, the car will not be able to supply the necessary surge of power that it needs to start.

 

There are several possibilities that your battery may be struggling, including:

 

The life span of your car's battery is over

When the car was turned off, your headlights and lights in the interior were on.

A loose wire

The battery terminals on your car have corrosion

Insufficient conductivity as a result of internal humidity and exposure to heat

Extreme temperatures

The electric current is draining even though the car is turned off this is known as parasitic drain

It is not advisable to leave your car parked for long durations of time.

2. Weak Ignition Switch

The problem might not be related to the battery but rather the ignition switch. In order to determine if the problem is the switch or the battery you can try switching on your car's headlights. If they are lit, this could indicate an issue with the ignition switch.

 

3. Blocked Fuel Filter

The term "fuel filter" is quite simple. They're responsible in transferring clean fuel into the engine. This is vital to ensure that gasoline can reach the engine, preventing your vehicle from starting properly. To ensure that gasoline flows it's suggested to swap out your fuel filters every 15,000 - 20,000 kilometers. If you don't it is, you might be calling the tow truck business close to me for help.

 

4. Problems with the Ignition Control Coil

We have touched on the vital connection between ignition and the battery, the ignition itself could be the reason for your lack of car start. It is because the ignition coil transforms the battery's energy into an electrical spark that allows the engine to begin to burn. The engine will not begin if the process is disrupted or the coil has been damaged. Our Phoenix towing service will employ a multimeter to examine the ignition coil to determine if it has a weak spark. If the spark is found to be weak, you'll require an induction or coil replacement.

 

5. Troublesome fuel pump

The primary component of the combustion process relies on the fuel pump's ability to ignite gas. The fuel pump pumps the fuel out of the tank, and it then passes through the fuel rail to injectors, where it is sprayed into each cylinder combustion chamber. The fuel pump transfers the fuel from the tank into the engine. This helps the car start. Without this system in place the car could end up with a broken car and needing to call an Azteca Towing company to deliver your vehicle to a mechanic.
