A car cannot start if water reaches the exhaust pipe, as the engine may already be flooded. Starting the engine under such conditions can damage internal components. Below are specific details about water-damaged vehicles: 1. Vehicle damage: If encountering flooded areas, it is best to stop and avoid risks. This way, even if the water level suddenly rises and the car is submerged, compensation can still be claimed. However, if the vehicle is forced to drive through water, causing engine flooding and damage, only those with water ingress insurance can claim compensation. Damage caused by improper personal operation is not covered by insurance, and the insurance company may refuse to pay. 2. Natural disaster claims: Generally, if a vehicle is insured, there is a contract between the owner and the insurance company, with clear stipulations in the insurance policy.

What is a Coupe?

P0322 trouble code, applicable to all automobile manufacturers, means No Signal From Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit. Possible causes include engine speed sensor failure, sensor wheel fault or mismatch, electronic control module (PCM or ECM) malfunction, etc. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Clearing fault codes: After troubleshooting vehicle issues, it is generally necessary to clear the fault codes. When clearing fault codes, strictly follow the specified method for the particular vehicle model. 2. Do not arbitrarily remove the battery negative terminal: Do not use the method of disconnecting the battery negative terminal to clear vehicle fault codes at will. Otherwise, it may cause the control center computer of some vehicle models to lose normal records, and sometimes even render some useful functions inoperable.

What does the maximum speed value indicate?

The sidewall of a tire features numerous alphanumeric markings, which represent the tire brand, model, production date, and specifications. Among these is a speed rating letter that indicates the maximum speed the tire can safely maintain under specified conditions. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the speed it represents. Common tire speed ratings and their corresponding letters are as follows: 1. Letter S: Represents a maximum speed of 180 km/h; 2. Letter T: Represents a maximum speed of 190 km/h; 3. Letter U: Represents a maximum speed of 200 km/h; 4. Letter H: Represents a maximum speed of 210 km/h; 5. Letter V: Represents a maximum speed of 240 km/h; 6. Letter W: Represents a maximum speed of 270 km/h; 7. Letter Y: Represents a maximum speed of 300 km/h.

Can the Rear Wheel Fender Liner Be Removed?

Rear wheel fender liners cannot be removed. Functions of the fender liner: It prevents mud, sand, and gravel carried by the wheels from hitting the underbody of the vehicle, effectively protecting the chassis from corrosion. If the fender liner is damaged, it must be replaced promptly. Materials of the fender liner: There are three types of materials: the first is plastic, the second is steel plate, and the third is aluminum alloy. Most vehicles use plastic fender liners. Under normal usage, the likelihood of damage to the fender liner is very low. Issues mainly arise when driving on extreme road conditions. Installation method: It is secured either by clips or screws. Regardless of the method used, the fender liner is effectively fixed to the fender. If abnormal noises are heard near the vehicle's wheels, the first thing to check is whether the fender liner has become loose.

What Causes the Malfunction Light to Illuminate, Lack of Power When Accelerating, and Inability to Gain Speed?

Poor quality gasoline that does not meet standards, faulty oxygen sensor, malfunctioning air flow sensor, carbon buildup on spark plugs, engine knocking, or engine misfiring. Related explanations: 1. Carbon buildup on spark plugs: Leads to poor engine performance, resulting in unstable idling, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and other abnormal phenomena. 2. Air flow sensor: Detects the intake air and converts it into an electrical signal sent to the electronic control unit (ECU), allowing the ECU to determine how much fuel to inject. 3. Oxygen sensor: Since the purification capability of the three-way catalyst for CO, HC, and NOX sharply decreases once the air-fuel ratio deviates from the theoretical value, an oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust and send feedback signals to the ECU. The ECU then adjusts the fuel injector's fuel injection volume accordingly, keeping the air-fuel ratio close to the theoretical value.
