Description
Is your car not starting even though battery is good and starter motor is working? If so, the engine is usually missing one of the five essential things: air, fuel, spark, compression or timing. In this video, I walk you step-by-step on how to diagnose for each of these reasons.
I've demonstrated the process on my 2009 Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Petrol, but the process remains same for all petrol cars.

My car had been sitting for over a month and refused to start at all. In this video, I walk you through a step-by-step approach starting with the basics like checking engine immobilizer, air filter, fuel related tests etc., instead of directly jumping to complex reasons like compression and timing.
I show how to systematically rule out possible causes before buying expensive testing equipment like fuel-pressure tester or compression tester. With this approach, I eventually found the actual problem and didn't had to buy any expensive equipment to get the car running again.
