There are several potential causes for a vehicle’s inability to start when the driver attempts to do so. Ignition, fuel distribution, and the starter or battery is the three key components that must be fixed before anything else on the vehicle. If you try to start your vehicle but are unsuccessful, the issue is most likely located in one of these areas. To figure out how to fix the car when Car does not start (รถ สตาร์ท ไม่ ติด, which is the term in Thai), you must first rule out some possible causes.

The following list of the most prevalent factors contributing to a vehicle’s inability to start. The inability of a car to start is frequently caused by one of four common faults, each of which is addressed in the following section, along with recommendations for vehicle upkeep.

  • Nonworking Battery

The most common cause of an automobile that would not start is a completely discharged battery. The battery is the source of electricity for the car’s many electrical systems, such as the lights, radio, etc. When the engine is running, the charging process for the battery is handled by the alternator. You won’t be able to turn the key in the ignition or use any of the electronics in the vehicle if the battery hasn’t been fully charged.

  • An Issue With The Ignition Switch

If you have checked the battery and found it in good condition but are still unable to start your vehicle, the issue may be with the ignition switch. You can attempt to discover the problem and how it occurred by turning on your headlights. If the lights and dashboard of the vehicle can be turned on, but the engine won’t turn over, you can deduce that there is a problem with the ignition switch. This is because the battery is the component that is responsible for turning on these components.

  • Malfunctioning Starter

Another typical reason your vehicle will not start is a problem with the starter. A little electric motor that is powered by a battery is what’s known as a starter. When the key is turned in the ignition, the crankshaft begins to spin, which in turn causes the pistons and other components of the engine to move. After the engine has been started and is running, the starter is no longer required to get the engine going. If the starter is defective, turning the key in the ignition will not cause the engine to start properly, even if the key is turned. 

  • A Fuel Filter That Is Clogged With Debris.

Gasoline cannot enter the engine if the fuel filter is clogged. It will be more difficult for your vehicle to use the appropriate fuel to move. It is important to keep in mind that the fuel filter in your car needs to be changed every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers whenever you take it in for servicing.
