Can’t Get Your Car Started? Our Airway Heights Mechanics Can Help

Inland Sales & Service • 8 August 2022

The majority of automotive issues happen when you least expect them. The most common reasons for car trouble are listed here, along with how to fix them. When you can’t get your car to start, our local experts at Inland Sales & Service in Spokane offer towing and automotive repair to get you back on the road in no time.

Dead Battery

You should always check the battery first if the engine won't start. The battery supplies electricity to equipment like the lights. Inadequate wiring, leaving a light on all night, or using an out-of-date battery are all potential causes of battery death. Get a jumpstart from another vehicle to start your engine. If that doesn't work, have your battery checked by an expert to see if it needs to be replaced.


Ignition Problems

At times, starting problems can happen as soon as you turn the ignition. The ignition could be locked if you cannot turn the key all the way. This might happen when you park on a slope or when your wheels hit a curb. Rotate the steering wheel back and forth to unlock the ignition. The ignition switch may be faulty if you can physically turn the key but the car won't start. To make sure the issue is not a dead battery, try turning on your headlights and dash lights.


Empty Gas Tank

An empty gas tank is one of the easiest issues to resolve if you're close to a gas station. But we don't suggest constantly letting your gasoline level drop. The gasoline filter will clog if you frequently run out of gas, leaving you stranded and maybe triggering serious engine problems later on.
