Would a broken cam shaft cause car not to start?

A broken camshaft can certainly prevent a car from starting. The camshaft is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of the engine's valves, which allows air and fuel to enter the cylinders and exhaust gases to exit. If the camshaft is broken, the valves will not be able to open and close properly, which will prevent the engine from running.

Additional symptoms of a broken camshaft can include:

* Inability to turn the engine over

* Difficulty starting the engine

* Engine misfires or surging

* Rough idling

* Loss of power or acceleration

If you suspect that your camshaft may be broken, it is important to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Driving a car with a broken camshaft can cause further damage to the engine and can be dangerous.
