1. Battery: Check the battery terminals to ensure they are clean and tight. If the battery is old, it may need to be replaced.
2. Starter motor: The starter motor may be faulty. If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, this could be the issue.
3. Fuel system: Check the fuel line and filter to ensure there is no blockage. The fuel pump may also be faulty.
4. Ignition system: Check the spark plugs and wires to ensure they are in good condition. The ignition coil or distributor may also be faulty.
5. Engine compression: Check the engine compression to ensure it is within specifications. If the compression is too low, the engine may not be able to start.
If you are unable to identify the problem yourself, you may need to take your Festiva to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
