DIFFICULTY GETTING STARTED

When a vehicle's starter cannot get a vehicle going in the morning, the problem can usually be traced to the battery, alternator, voltage regulator, or the electrical wiring that connects these components. The battery's job is to provide electrical power for the starter motor when the ignition switch is turned. The starter motor gear engages the engine flywheel to crank and start the engine. The battery expends a considerable amount of energy each time it powers the starter motor, while the charging system (composed of the alternator and voltage regulator) provides current that restores the battery to full charge after it has used its energy to run the starter motor. All these components should be checked in no-start situations.
