Why would my car start one minute and not the next?
This could be due to a malfunctioning or faulty alternator or a low battery charge. You need to decide if you want to repair or replace the battery in your current situation and depending on the type of car you have. If your battery is not working correctly, this can mean your car won’t start, then starts the next day.
Why does my car start sometimes and not other times?
If your car starts intermittently, a broken fuse or broken wiring can be the culprit, since damaged wires to the battery or the starter solenoid prevent the power from reaching the starter. If the starter goes bad, it can cause a lack of power to the car and cause the car to start intermittently.
What causes delayed start?
A: Possible causes: a marginal battery, a poor connection in the starting circuit or starter, a charging-system problem, or the battery is being drained while the car’s parked. If the slow cranking occurs after driving (engine hot), it’s likely a faulty starter or poor charging.
Why won’t my car start but the radio and lights work?
If the lights and/or the radio come on but the car does not start, you may also have dirty or corroded battery terminals. The terminals are what connect the electrical system to the battery. If you can get the car started by jumping it, it’s a good bet that your battery was the problem.
Why won’t my car start but I have power?
If starting is a problem for you regularly, this is a clear sign that your battery terminals are corroded, damaged, broken, or loose. If they look okay and there is no sign of damage, then the problem is not the battery, and the starter could be the cause of why the car won’t turn over but has power.

Why was Flight 93 the only plane to broadcast a distress call?
Of the four aircraft hijacked, Flight 93 was the only aircraft that broadcast a distress call.

Why does my ATV not start when I Turn on the engine?
The ATV is not getting fuel If the spark plug is still dry after cranking the engine for a few seconds, you know that fuel, for some reason, is not getting to the cylinder.
