Why does my car start sometimes and not other times?

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.

Why does my car not start after not being used?

What causes a car to stop while driving?

The crankshaft sensor is a necessary part to make your car engine running on a lot of car models. On some car models, you do also have a camshaft position sensor, which the car uses if the camshaft sensor is faulty. In this case, a faulty crankshaft position sensor may not cause the car to stop entirely.

Why does my car go up to 500 rpm after starting?

It restarts just fine right after though. It also has a rough idle sometimes, it could get to 1000 rpm after it starts, suddenly drop to 500, then go up and drop again. This only happens for a few initial seconds and only after a cold start. Any help appreciated, thanks.
