Here are few more tips to troubleshoot car's 'No-start' problems...
What to Do When...
The Vehicle's Engine Cranks But Does not Fire - While starting the car, the engine cranks but does not fire. You may hear the cranking noise but slowly mellows down when you release the key.
Cause - Car's engine is not firing because there might be very less gas or fuel. If
the problem arises in a fuel filled tank, the other causes for this no-start condition might be fuel, compression or spark.
Solution - Get the above mentioned auto parts tested at a trusted and known auto repair centre.
What to Do When...
While in Gear, the Car Does not Move - You find everything fine and the engine also functions smoothly, yet the starting problem persists if you place transmission selector in gear .
Cause - Incase the car does not move, there is something wrong with the transmission. The other possible causes might be some damage to the clutch.
Solution - First of all, check the fluid level. Now incase, the level of fluid is OK, you need to get the gear shift checked. A disconnected gearshift will cause this problem. If found low, you need to diagnose the problem behind it which might be a leakage. Get this leakage repaired as soon as possible.
If you release the clutch when the transmission is in gear and you vehicle does not move despite the fact that the engine is working fine, its time for you to get the clutch changed.
These were the causes & DIY car repair tips that would help you in a 'No-start condition'. Therefore, next time, when you are on you way to job in the morning and your car says – 'No-start', do not panic or be sad. Just inspect your car's auto parts and try these tips to troubleshoot the problems while starting a car. Remember, its always better to call a car repair mechanic if you find yourself confused.
