If your BMW refuses to start, the trouble is almost always one of four things: a dead or weak battery, a failed starter, a fuel delivery problem, or a security system lockout.

If the engine cranks slowly or not at all, start with the battery and starter circuit. If it cranks normally but won’t fire, focus on fuel delivery, spark, or the immobilizer system….
A Subaru engine misfire means one or more cylinders isn’t burning fuel properly. You’ll feel a rough idle, hesitation when accelerating, and often see a flashing check engine light. If the CEL is flashing, stop driving immediately—unburned fuel can overheat and destroy your catalytic converter in minutes (replacement runs $1,000+). The most common Subaru-specific causes…
A Kia engine misfire usually announces itself with a flashing Check Engine light, rough idle, hesitation when you press the gas, or a vibration you can feel through the seat.
