If the car's carbon canister is broken, it may cause the engine to idle poorly, stall, or become difficult to start. Here is some information about the car's carbon canister: 1. Installation and function: It is installed between the fuel tank and the engine, using the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon inside to adsorb and store fuel vapor from the fuel tank in the carbon canister. 2. Working principle: When the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold opens according to the ECU's command. At this time, the fuel vapor in the activated carbon canister is drawn into the cylinder along with the air under the vacuum negative pressure of the intake pipe to participate in combustion. This not only reduces unnecessary emissions but also lowers the engine's fuel consumption.

Do Electronic Eyes Capture Turn Signals?

No, the electronic eyes on the roads capture traffic violations and illegal activities of motor vehicles, which include crossing the line, running a red light, not yielding to pedestrians, motor vehicles not driving in the designated lane, and motor vehicles parking randomly on the roadside. Here is some additional information: Traffic violations captured by electronic eyes: Violations captured by postal resources can be handled through mobile apps like Traffic Management 12123, or directly through the vehicle management office or traffic management authorities. Regardless of the method chosen, they can be effectively processed without any impact. The latest processing time for traffic violations: The latest processing time for traffic violations committed by motor vehicles is before the annual inspection of the motor vehicle. If traffic violations are not processed, the motor vehicle cannot undergo the annual inspection procedure, and motor vehicles that fail the annual inspection are not allowed to drive on the road. Driving without passing the annual inspection is considered an illegal act.

What does a dead file car mean?

A dead file car refers to a vehicle that has no operational issues but cannot be transferred to another owner. It retains its license plate until the car is completely worn out and can still undergo normal inspections. Specific details: These cars are typically smuggled vehicles purchased in the past, which were then registered with the help of signatures from DMV officials, making all procedures appear normal. Minor trade procedures: These vehicles are usually confiscated smuggled cars by the General Administration of Customs, then legally sold through proper channels, such as auctions. The customs can issue a "confiscation certificate" for these vehicles to be registered, but they can only be transferred locally. Most imported cars during those years fell into this category, and currently, such cars are priced lower than those with major trade procedures.

Can a car start after being parked for 3 months?

In this situation, the car usually cannot start and requires a jump-start to get it running. Here is the relevant information: Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the battery referred to is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Jump-start: Jump-starting (also known as boost) involves connecting another vehicle's battery or an external power source to a vehicle with a depleted starting battery to start the vehicle. Once the vehicle is started, its normal charging system can take over, and the auxiliary power source can be removed. As long as the vehicle's charging system is functioning properly, the battery will be recharged during normal operation.

Should I use D gear or S gear when going downhill?

It is most appropriate to use D gear when going downhill, because S gear is the sport mode, which provides better vehicle power and is suitable for uphill driving and overtaking. For automatic transmission vehicles or vehicles with manual-automatic transmission, the following points should be noted when going down a long slope: Do not shift into N gear: First, when going downhill, vehicles with manual-automatic transmission must not shift into N gear, as this can damage the transmission and make it difficult to control the speed, leading to overheating of the brake pads and loss of vehicle control. For general slopes: For long downhill slopes with a long distance, first switch the vehicle to manual mode, then adjust to the 3rd gear in manual mode, and use engine braking in combination with the brakes. For steep long downhill slopes: First switch the vehicle to manual mode, then adjust to the 1st gear in manual mode, and use engine braking in combination with the brakes.

Can I still use my license with 0 cumulative points on 12123?

There are generally two interpretations of the driver's license point system. One interpretation is that the license originally has 12 points, and corresponding points are deducted for each traffic violation. The other interpretation is that the license starts with 0 points, and points are accumulated for each violation. According to the second interpretation, a license with 0 points can still be used normally. However, under the first interpretation, it cannot be used because all 12 points have been deducted, requiring the driver to attend full-point education courses and pass relevant exams. Additional information is as follows: A 0-point display on the 12123 traffic management app is normal. The cumulative points on 12123 indicate that the license has no recorded penalty points for traffic violations, meaning the license can still be used normally, so there is no need to worry.
