Morning is the perfect time to warm up the car before hitting the road. However, sometimes the vehicle's engine does not start right away. 

In such conditions, people often assume that the battery is the main cause. In fact, there are many other reasons why a car may have difficulty starting. Here are the details. 

1. Clogged Fuel Flow

There are many factors that can cause a car engine not to start, one of which is a clogged fuel flow. This condition is caused by the fuel pump in the battery weakening, which will supply energy to the carburetor, due to the cold air temperature around it. 

You don't need to take it to a workshop, as you can tap the fuel pump to restore its performance. Even if the vehicle's engine has been warmed up regularly in the morning, issues like difficulty starting may still linger. 

This is because the main fuel flow cannot be perfectly distributed to the engine tank. Fuel that does not receive enough air supply also contributes to the car's difficulty in starting.

2. Water Temperature Sensor Issues

The WTS or Water Temperature Sensor is one of the main causes of a car engine having difficulty starting, especially in the morning. If this component experiences damage to its sensor, it indirectly affects the performance of the injection system. 

Thus, the engine becomes difficult to start as usual. You can take it to the nearest workshop to resolve this issue. 

3. Overheated Coil 

The coil plays a role in doubling the electrical voltage to reach thousands of volts that will be supplied to the battery. The large amount of electrical flow that needs to be delivered often creates sparks. 

If the coil is too hot, this important component can certainly be the reason why the car has difficulty starting. When you find that the vehicle's engine is hard to start, first check the coil. 

This is because this component can suffer damage if the temperature exceeds the load it can handle. If the coil is damaged, replace it with a new one to maintain the vehicle's performance. 

4. Damaged Dynamo Ampere 

A damaged dynamo ampere is one of the important components that functions to supply electricity to the battery. Indirectly, a damaged dynamo ampere makes the vehicle's engine not want to start even though the battery is in good condition. 

To ensure this, please check again for any damage to this component. 

In fact, the dynamo ampere itself is not a vehicle component that is easily damaged. Generally, damage occurs after more than 8 years of use with regular maintenance. 

However, the dynamo ampere still has a small percentage of experiencing damage. To confirm this, please take the vehicle to the nearest workshop. 

5. Damage to the Spark Plug 

The spark plug is one of the important components for starting the engine. If there is a buildup of dirt on the spark plug or a damaged spark plug, then it is not surprising if your beloved car is difficult to start. 

If the spark plug is the cause of the car's difficulty in starting, clean it immediately using a special cleaner.
