If you've been an automobile owner for any length of time, then you're likely aware of all the things that can go wrong. One of the most problematic issues is your engine not starting. You may not immediately know what the problem is, and you may require the assistance of the staff at South County Lexus. There are some things we will check in order to figure out what's going on. Then, service can be performed to get your vehicle running again.
Your engine isn't going to start if your battery isn't working properly. The battery must be charged, but it must also be free of complications that would result in the battery not charging or being able to hold a charge. If your vehicle has one, look for the battery indicator light on your dashboard.
Your battery may be working fine along with all of the things powered by your battery, but your ignition is one of the next things that we check. There is some reason why your engine isn't engaging when you press the ignition button.
Connected to your vehicle's battery is a small electric motor that powers your starter. When you go to turn on your vehicle, your starter will engage in getting things running. Listen closely to clicking noises when you're trying to start your engine. This is a common indication that there's a starter problem.
After 20,000 to 30,000 miles, your fuel filter needs to be replaced. It's common for the fuel filter to become clogged by this point in time. When you leave a clogged filter in your vehicle, there won't be enough fuel getting to the engine.
It's an easy fix, but it can still cause a big inconvenience. An empty fuel tank is going to get you nowhere fast. Make sure you are sticking to a routine when it comes to filling your fuel tank. Also, watch for your low fuel light to engage when you're close to empty.
If you're still unsure why your engine isn't starting, contact South County Lexus to set up an appointment in the Mission Viejo, CA area. We'll quickly diagnose whatever is going on, and we'll provide you with whatever battery, engine, ignition, or starter repairs are needed.
