In severe frosts, the vehicle may not start for various reasons due to the negative effect of low temperatures on all vehicle systems. In this case, most often problems arise with the battery or fuel system. Alexander Goman, an expert in the Fit Service car service network, told socialbites.ca about this.
“At temperatures below 20 degrees, the battery discharges rapidly and no longer receives as much charge as needed for trouble-free operation. Battery-related problems occur frequently, especially for drivers who make short and frequent trips. “In such cases, the battery does not have time to charge fully and the vehicle may not start in sub-zero temperatures in the morning,” he said.
The spark plug is another car part that needs to be replaced frequently in cold weather. When trying to start the engine, car owners often fill the spark plugs and only after failure contact the service station with the problem. Also, Goman noted that a car may have difficulties starting due to a dirty throttle valve or injectors, as motorists forget that these elements need to be cleaned every 20-30 thousand kilometers.
Vehicle owners come to us with fuel pump complaints in winter. The car may not start due to questionable gasoline. Therefore, the auto expert advised that it is important to choose high-quality fuel for your vehicle during winter months.
