  • Defective fuel pump
  • No fuel – this can happen if the fuel gauge is not reading correctly
How do we avoid these, or other issues that can cause our vehicle not to start, from ever happening? Emergencies are not always avoidable; paying attention to the warning signs can help keep your vehicle starting. Here are some signs to watch for:

  • Squealing belt
  • Slow crank when trying to start your vehicle
  • Battery light comes on (maybe intermittent or stay on)
  • Low, high or fluctuating idle
