You probably know the verb marcher meaning to walk. Did you know that marcher can also be used colloquially to say that something work or doesn't work.
Comment ça marche? How does it work?
Pourquoi ça marche pas? Why doesn't it work?
Ah voila, ça remarche. Ah it is working again.
Fonctionner would be a better way of saying that something works.
If you hear someone use marcher instead of fonctionner, you can tease them and say: Ca court? (ie, is it running?)
