Results are grouped by useful content—not by paid placement or guessed parts. Describe the symptom naturally; IAR recognizes common alternate wording while keeping exact codes and vehicle details precise.
Your available vehicle context is included where the destination supports it. AI guidance stays separate from verified IAR source records.
Use the first starting split—cranks or does not crank—to choose the correct electrical, authorization, fuel, ignition, or mechanical diagnostic path.
beginnerSeparate fuel, spark, compression, timing, and security-system faults with a test-first process.
IntermediateSeparate missing ignition, fuel delivery, control, synchronization, and mechanical evidence after the engine is confirmed to crank.
Test-first procedureUse warning behavior, scan context, cylinder pattern, and controlled contribution evidence to separate ignition, fuel, air, and mechanical branches.
Test-first procedureSeparate start-request, interlock, cable, ground, solenoid, and starter-motor evidence before bypassing the circuit or replacing the starter.
Test-first procedureThe starting system must authorize the request and deliver high current long enough to rotate the engine. A no-crank condition is different from an engine that cranks normally but does not run.
System guideThe fuel system stores and meters fuel under controlled conditions. A no-start, lean code, odor, or hesitation can involve supply, command, air measurement, electrical control, mechanical condition, or vapor management.
System guideIAR does not passively record this search. Save feedback only if you want a local note that you can export later for editorial planning. VIN-like vehicle identifiers are redacted before local save.
