Why do your engine drag when trying to start?

Possible causes why an engine drags when trying to start might be the following:

Low Battery Voltage: Insufficient voltage to turn the engine.

Corroded Battery Terminals: Poor electrical contact prevents starting.

Defective Starter Motor: Issues within the starter mechanism.

Faulty Ignition System: Ignition parts like spark plugs might be compromised.

Fuel Issues: Fuel delivery or supply might have complications.

Mechanical Problems: Internal engine wear or transmission issues might cause resistance.

Damaged Starter System Wiring: Incorrect wiring can interrupt electric signals.

Incorrect Transmission Setting: Transmission is not in Park (Auto) or Neutral (Manual).

Diagnose the specific cause with technical knowledge and appropriate tools for a repair.
