However, there are other components which might also be the source ot your starting problem. Poor maintenance is another factor. Often overlooked procedures include cleaning and tightening corroded terminals and connectors. checking for case damage caused by loose battery hold-downs, and periodic testing tor the general condition of the battery. . Battery: Primarily, a battery's function is to crank the engine - start the car. Secondary functions are lighting and operating electrical accessories when the engine is not running. The battery should provide both good engine cranking capability and reserve power. The power required to start an engine varies from car to car. It depends on the rpm demanded by the engine. the compression ratio, cylinder wear, temperature, weight of the oil, and the number and variety of accessories on the vehicle. Worn belts or loose tan belts can slip, causing a voltage shortage to the battery. Here's a checklist to ensure prdmpt starting all ygar |ong: It the testing determines that you need a replacement battery, install a unit with at least as much starting power as the original equipment battery. Refer to your car manual or the battery application data information available at your service station or auto parts store. Cold weather makes starting more difficult because low temperatures reduce a battery's power potential. A fully charged battery at Boo F will deliver only about 65 percent of its full power at 32° F, and 40 percent at oo F, More thorough battery testing can be done quickly by a mechanic. A load test. for . example, is the basic test of a battery's starting capacity. it too often. the engine battery, especially in the winter, is named the culprit tor sluggish starts or the reason for a car not starting at all. Pre-winter check will help keep car starting Following these simple hints can help maintain your car's starting ability. With proper care. regular tune-ups and a scheduled maintenance program. your car can be a reliable performer this winter. Because of the types of belts found on most of today's cars, belt wear can't always be easily detected without removing the belts for inspection. e Tump: One of the most effective methods of maintaining your starting power is to have a regular tune-up. In fact, a complete tune-up is more than twice as effective against winter starting difficulties as is battery service This is true in both cold. snowy weather and in warm climates which generally experience wet and humid conditions. So, as a rule of thumb, it your belts are four years old, replacd them - even it they don't appear to need it. You should replace them sooner it you do a great deal of driving. A glazed belt with its slick, hard, board-like sidewalls may slip and tail to grip the pulley property. This can cause a discharged battery, engine overheating and premature belt failure. Belts with oil and grease-softened under-core and slick sidewalls may slip in the pulley: Suc.tt belts‘vyepr and break rapidly. In fact, the lack of redular bett service is one of the top engine service probiems contributing to loss of power. You should regularly inspect your car's belts tor signs of weer. Cracks on the underside of the belt can enlarge as the belt tiextts. A belt with cracks can break without warning. . Drive belts: Since most engine power is transmitted by V-beits. a worn. defective or irtcorrectty tensioned belt remit: in a toss ot power to drive the fan, water pump, alternator (or generator). power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and exhaust emission system air infection pump. .
