Car won't start? Info

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Blue Springs, Missouri, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 1, 2012 -- You know how it goes you wake up late and get ready for work and then your won’t.Here are a few things to check that anybody can do and will save you money from not getting taken advantage of when you get your car fixed.

1. Do you have power, does your lights work or radio come on still?
2. If you have power first can you hear the engine crank over?
3. Does your car crank or sounds like its trying to start but doesn’t start and go?
4. Do you have enough gas in the tank?

The most likely causes of a car not starting is in this order of likelihood.

* Dead battery or bad battery. Solution:Recharge battery or replace
* Bad starter and/or solenoid. Solution:Replace
* No gas
* bad fuel pump
* bad ignition components

The easiest way to check a fuel pump to see if its working is to take off the gas cap and listen to see if you can hear a noise come on and then go off when the key is turned into the on position. If you hear it most likely something else.

The easiest way to check your ignition is to take a plug wire off and see if you have spark with a old plug or spark tester. If you have spark that means your crank and cam sensors are working and ignition coil and your ignition module are good too. Usually if you have spark at your spark plugs you should go check your fuel system and test.

Always check and test the easiest things first like battery or starter and if your battery is good and your hear a clicking noise when you try to crank your car its probably your starter or battery connections. Remember battery terminal connections need to be tight and clean.
