How do you fix a car?

Answer 1

A question like that is difficult to answer. Basically, it's all a matter of figuring out what's wrong and solve the problem. It's always best if you know how it works, but that's a good idea no matter what you're doing. If you understand how the individual components function, what they are supposed to add to the vehicle and what the vehicle would or would not do if a specific component fails, then you're almost there. Basically, if an engine doesn't run, find out which part isn't working properly. If the engine has proper compression, fuel (in the proper amount) and ignition (spark at the spark plugs and at the right time) the engine WILL run. If it doesn't have one of those components, track it down and find out which part has failed or isn't connected or used properly. Unfortunately there are plenty of mechanics in shops who just throw parts at a problem until it finally runs. That's not a good idea, since it's expensive and can introduce more problems. Many of those supposed mechanics don't care how much it costs, since it's not their money. They'll charge you for every part that they put in your car, and make a profit on it, then they tell you that you needed it anyway. Good mechanics will figure out what's wrong then only replace the parts that are bad.

Answer 2

Go to a mechanic and ask them to fix it. That's all I got. Deeply sorry.
