Your car wouldn't start – Here are a few reasons why

 

It's a hectic Monday morning. You are late to drop kids at school, followed by an important office meeting. You slide into your car, turn the key when you realize-uh oh- it's dead, it won't start!

Car breakdowns at the most reasonable time are incredibly annoying, not to mention the inconvenience. While technology has improved a number of mechanical parts in modern cars, there is still the traditional internal combustion engine and a few other reasons that can lead to dead vehicles. Some of these are pretty common and easy to fix, so it's wise to check a few things yourself before calling a towing service Frisco. Take a look at this list of the common reasons to figure out what's wrong with your car.

Empty fuel tank

A silly yet the most common reason why most cars won't start is an empty fuel tank. Busy schedules can make you forget to check the fuel level, or a miscalibrated fuel gauge can confuse you. Daily fuel checks and regular maintenance can avoid the need for a towing service Frisco to tow your dead car.  

Dead battery

The battery is the lifeblood of your vehicle. A battery with insufficient charge will not power the engine or any other electrical component, so it's best to keep jumper cables in your car at all times.

Broken ignition or starter engine

Sometimes your car headlights turn on, but the engine does not crank, which means the battery is charged, but the ignition or starter is the problem. A broken starter or ignition switch problem can be fixed by jumping up the starter engine.

Clogged fuel filter

Fuel filters are used to prevent the muck sucking up into the engine from clogging the combustion chambers. If these fuel filters are clogged, they will prevent enough fuel from reaching the engine. Fuel filter replacement is the only solution.
