Car breakdown is in most cases a surprise only for motorists who have little experience of "communication" with transport. Timely scheduled maintenance, the frequency of which is determined by the manufacturer, will help the driver avoid many of the troubles that await him on the way.

Step 1
As the people say, trouble comes when you don't expect it at all. And if the car breaks down on the way, then you should not lose your presence of mind - there is almost always a way out of this situation.
Step 2
Firstly, it is always necessary to determine the nature and degree of the malfunction, and then decide for yourself how to fix it (on your own, or at a car service station). Loss of an independent way of movement by a car can occur for various reasons.
Step 3
For example, due to engine stop. A similar malfunction occurs in connection with the failure of such systems as: ignition, fuel, electrical equipment - this is at best, and at worst - mechanical damage to the parts of the crank or gas distribution mechanisms, as a result of which the motor is jammed.
Step 4
The latter case is considered the most severe, and it is unlikely that anyone will succeed in eliminating the malfunction on their own. To determine the degree of damage, it is enough to try to crank the engine with a starter. If the crankshaft turns, then you should begin to find the reasons that provoked a complete stop of the engine.
Step 5
In the course of identifying these circumstances, the fact of supplying fuel from the gas tank to the carburetor, or to the injectors of the injection engine, is checked, along the way by studying the step-by-step instructions in the repair manual for your car.
Step 6
After making sure that the functioning of the power supply system is in normal mode, it is necessary to check the engine ignition system. This will help determine further actions related to the presence or absence of a spark discharge between the spark plug contacts. If there is no discharge in the indicated place, then the serviceability of each element of the entire chain of the ignition system is sequentially checked.
Step 7
However, it also happens that the engine is running, and the car does not "want" to get under way. In this case, the malfunction should be looked for in the transmission or in the clutch mechanism.
