How to Trouble Shoot a Car Engine – Part 2

hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be showing
you how to troubleshoot an engine that
won’t start scenario one your engine
cranks slowly the only possible cost for
this situation is a battery that is not
fully charged check the battery
connections as you would if the engine
did not crank at all keep in mind that
any movement could prevent your car from
starting properly and clean off any
corrosion if necessary finally if this
test and jump-starting or push starting
your car does not work call in the pros
scenario to your engine cranks but the
car won’t start this problem could be
caused by any number of things first
turn on the car and check the gas gauge
to make sure there is gas in the car
check under the hood for disconnected
spark plug wires or vacuum lines next
make sure you haven’t blown a fuse by
looking in the fuse box if none of that
works it’s time to call a tow truck
scenario 3 your engine runs but the car
won’t move if this is the case there is
a problem with your wheels or with the
transmission first make sure the parking
brake is not activated next make sure
the car is in gear by putting it into
park and then moving it back into gear
make sure there’s nothing outside the
car blocking the wheels from moving in a
manual car go under the hood and check
the level of fluid in the clutch master
cylinder in an automatic check the
transmission fluid if that still doesn’t
work call a tow truck these are just a
few simple tests to help you avoid a
trip to the garage
