Engine light is on and the car only starts with starting gas

Hi, I have a 2006 Renault Kangoo with 200,000 km on the odometer. I've noticed that the check engine light is on, and the car only starts when I use starting fluid. Once it starts, it runs normally. What could be the cause of this, and how can I solve the problem? Thanks for your help!

The car's check engine light is on, and it only starts with starting fluid, indicating a potential issue with the fuel system. Possible causes include a weak fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter, which may prevent adequate fuel pressure. Checking and addressing these components could resolve the starting problem.

Start by checking the fuel pump and fuel filter. A weak fuel pump or clogged filter can cause starting issues. Ensure the fuel system is delivering adequate pressure. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
