Car engines operate by turning a crankshaft that propels the car forward. When you turn the key in your ignition, the car’s engine starts and powers the car forward. There are three things that can happen when you turn the key: The engine will start, the car will crank but not move, or the car will not crank at all.
The most common problem with cars is that when you try to start them, they sometimes won’t crank at all. This is called a dead battery, or an Ignition Coil Stuck Off (ICSO). If your ICSO is severe, it could prevent you from starting your car even if you have a good battery. In this article, we’ll go over what causes ICSOs and how to fix them.
