Car starters have come a long way since they first hit the market. They’re now reliable and easy to use, and you don’t even have to get out of the car to start it. But how does that work, exactly? In this blog post, we will take a look at how car starters work and how to diagnose and fix a problem with your ignition coil. From there, you will be able to start your car in no time at all!
Why Does My Car Make an unusual Sound When I Try to Start It?
The engine of your car typically starts by turning the ignition key. The key turns the crankshaft, which in turn causes the pistons to move and rotate the cylinders. When the timing is correct, the gasoline/oil mixture in the cylinders is ignited, providing power to the wheels.
If there is a problem with one or more of these parts- such as a faulty key, loose belt, or broken camshaft – your car will not start. In this case, you may hear a clicking or grinding noise when you attempt to start your car. This is due to friction between the moving parts and metal on metal. Try turning your key several times without success before you reach for your AAA membership card.
What to do if Your Car Won’t Start
If your car won’t start, you may have a dead battery. Before you try to jump start it, check the battery connections and make sure they’re tight. If the car still won’t start, you’ll need to replace the ignition coil.
How to Fix a Dead Battery in a Car
If your car battery is dead, you can still drive the vehicle if you have the key fob. To start the car, you’ll need to turn on the ignition and then press the “start” button on the key fob. If your car has an IPod or MP3 connection, you may also need to plug in your headphones first.

5. Clean all debris from the old coil unit with a wire brush or vacuum cleaner, then install the new coilunit by following steps 2-5 above, reversing them when it comes to screwing in the screws.
