When cars start to stall, you probably think it's the battery, but it could be as simple as an issue with your ignition switch slipping and turning off. There are also major problems that could be causing your fuel system to be disconnected from your ignition switch. When the issue is not just as simple as jiggling the keys to get the car to start, then it's time to talk to a professional and get a diagnostic test.

Ignition problems can also be caused by your key. Replacing a worn out or broken key is the best way…

When your car’s battery isn’t holding a charge, you can test it using a voltmeter. Either a digital or an analog version will serve the same purpose. Begin by making sure that both your vehicle’s ignition and lights are off. Continue with connecting the voltmeter’s positive cable, indicated with red, to the battery’s positive terminal. Connect the black, or negative, cable to the negative terminal on the battery.

If your battery shows at 12.4 volts or above on the voltmeter, that tells you that it has enough charge to function properly.
