2. If the engine crankshaft does not turn or turns too slowly:
a) Make sure the battery terminals are tight and clean.
b) If the battery terminals are OK, turn on the interior lighting. If there is no lighting, it is dim, or it goes out when the engine is cranked by the starter, then the battery is discharged.
Jump start with a booster battery or tow jump start (only for models with manual transmission).
c) If the lighting is normal, but the engine does not start, then the engine is faulty.
Attention: (only for models with manual transmission and EJ engine) do not attempt to start the engine by prolonged towing or pushing. The timing belt may jump a few teeth and cause the piston to hit the valves. In addition, the catalytic converter may fail, overheat and cause ignition (fire).
3. If the engine crankshaft turns normally, but the engine does not start:
a) Check the tightness of the connectors (for example: spark plug connections, ignition coils);
b) If the connectors are OK, the spark plugs may be "flooded" due to repeated cranking of the engine crankshaft.
