Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Spark owners report experiencing intermittent cranking failure with no starter activity, often attributed to various underlying issues. A weak or dead 12v battery is frequently cited as a common cause of slow or nonexistent engine cranking. Additionally, problems within the ignition system, such as a faulty crank position sensor, ECM, or ignition modules, can contribute to starting difficulties. Insufficient fuel pressure, particularly when attempting to start the vehicle cold, may also lead to cranking issues. To effectively resolve these problems, it is recommended that owners check the battery, ignition system components, and fuel pressure.
