Hi! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I **may** need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. Sometimes I have to look up some information so it may take a moment to respond. I appreciate your patience. The system will give you an automated phone call offer to speak to one of us on the phone **. It is optional.** Some folks prefer to talk on the phone. If you don’t, please ignore it as I cannot control the offer from popping up. The fuel cap light would not cause the vehicle to have starting problems. It would only turn the light on. If it's not starting then you have another issue. Does the [engine](/topics-engine-ford/) turn over but not fire up, or does the engine not do anything at all when you try to start it?

Hi Rahima, nice to meet you. The fuel cap light would not cause the vehicle to have starting problems. It would only turn the light on. If it's not starting then you have another issue. Does the engine turn over but not fire up, or does the engine not do anything at all when you try to start it?

It just make little sound
Automotive Expert
OK then maybe your battery is low. Try to jump start it.

What do you mean of jump start?
Automotive Expert
You will need to connect some jumper cables to the car battery and use another vehicle as a battery source to see if it will start up.

Ok thank you
