Can a failed solenoid make a car start?
A failed starter solenoid could make the starter run but couldn’t energize the ignition, so the engine would crank but not run on its own. The only thing common to both starter and ignition is the ignition switch. vtcodger2 July 5, 2016, 9:50pm #4
What causes a car to start but not keep running?
The engine requires the right amount of air and fuel to mix together for ignition. If there is a fuel leak somewhere, then the correct amount of fuel may not make it to the combustion chamber. This might be enough to allow the engine to start, but not keep running.
When did my car start all by itself?
We have had the car for about three years and never had any issues with the car starting itself UNTIL we put the rebuilt starter on the car in mid May. The car does not have a remote starter.
What causes a car engine to make a sputtering noise?
The car has a set of vacuum hoses that, with time, develop leaks. This will cause the engine to produce a sputtering sound when the air-fuel mixture gets too rich or too lean. 4. Dirty mass airflow sensor The combustion chamber requires the right amount of fuel and air.

What causes a car to start at the wrong time?
Spark plug wires are a source of electromagnetic interference (EMF), but this is usually only a problem on some aftermarket setups when this interference isn’t taken into account. A timing belt or chain that has skipped a tooth will throw off the cam timing, causing the intake and/or exhaust valves to open at the wrong time.
