Battery Problems

If you notice that your starter fails to function, you can check the terminal connection and lubricate the connectors to prevent corrosion. If your battery dies even after you have charged it fully, it could mean that it is too old to hold a charge or it has been discharged too many times. Unfortunately, there isn’t a fix for this—you’ll have to buy a new battery.

Engine Issues

Engine issues can stem from various problems, including low fuel levels, clogged injectors, and dirty or malfunctioning spark plugs, among others. Cleaning filthy parts can get them back in shape, or you may need to replace the components that have worn out—so check accordingly. However, if you notice that your engine is getting overheated unusually, you might want to check the coolant levels.
