No-Start Issues Fixed
There are many reasons your car might not start up, and we can address them right where you're stranded, saving you hundreds in towing and added labor costs. Here are some common things I regularly fix
Dead Battery: A car's battery can die for numerous reasons, such as leaving the lights on when the car is off, or simply from the battery's old age.
Bad Ignition Switch: If the battery checks out, but the car still won't start, the ignition switch could be at fault.
Faulty Starter: A broken starter is another common reason cars won't start.
Clogged Fuel Filter: If the fuel filter is clogged, the gasoline won't reach the engine.
Empty Gas Tank: It may sound obvious, but sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.
Bad Timing Belt: If the timing belt breaks or slips, the car won't start.
Faulty Camshaft or Crankshaft Sensor: If either of these sensors fail, the car may not start.
Failed Fuel Pump: If the fuel pump is not working correctly, it can prevent the car from starting.
Bad Ignition Coil: A faulty ignition coil can cause the spark plugs not to fire, thus preventing the car from starting.
Problems with the Security System: Sometimes, the car's anti-theft system can cause it not to start.
Electrical Diagnostics
There's a number of electrical problems that can leave you stranded. If I find the problem to be electrical, I've got the tools and know how to get you back on the road. Here's a few common electrical problems I see on the road
Battery Issues: Dead batteries or faulty battery connections are very common issues.
Alternator Problems: The alternator is responsible for powering the electrical system while your car is running and charging the battery. If it's not working correctly, your battery will die.
Faulty Starter Motor: The starter motor is responsible for starting the car, and electrical problems can prevent it from working.
Bad Ignition Switch: If your ignition switch isn't working, the car won't start.
Failed Fuel Pump Relay: If this electrical component fails, the fuel pump won't work and your car won't start.
Failing Spark Plugs or Spark Plug Wires: These components are responsible for igniting the fuel-air mixture in the engine. If they're not working properly due to electrical issues, the car won't run smoothly, if at all.
Malfunctioning Sensors: Many sensors, such as the oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, or crankshaft position sensor, can cause the car to run poorly or not at all if they're not working properly.
Issues with Fuses and Relays: A blown fuse or faulty relay can disable various electrical systems in the car.
Problems with the On-Board Computer: Modern cars rely heavily on computer systems. If the car's computer isn't working properly, it can cause a host of problems.
Electrical Wiring Issues: Over time, a car's wiring can wear out or rodents can chew through it, causing various systems to fail.
