Currently, domestic EFI motorcycles are divided into two systems: one with adjustable idle speed and one without. For the adjustable type, the idle speed adjustment screw is installed on the air passage next to the throttle body. By adjusting the idle speed screw, the air intake is controlled, thereby adjusting the idle speed. The non-adjustable type is set by the computer program. If there is unstable idle speed, it is definitely caused by a vehicle malfunction. Mechanical faults: Valve leakage, negative pressure pipe leakage, or injector malfunction, resulting in poor atomization. Clogged or leaking fuel injectors causing the mixture to be too lean or too rich. Excessive fuel pressure causing the mixture to be too rich, or insufficient fuel pressure causing the mixture to be too lean. Clogged fuel filter, faulty fuel pressure regulator, etc. Faults due to incorrect sensor signals: Such as throttle position sensor, intake air temperature sensor, intake pressure sensor, oxygen sensor, etc. Damage to the sensor or short circuit/open circuit in the sensor wiring causing incorrect signals. After receiving these incorrect signals, the ECU computer is confused, struggling, and under immense pressure, unable to accurately determine the required fuel injection amount for the current operating condition, resulting in unstable idle speed.

What is the curb weight of the Chang'an Benben in kg?

The curb weight of the Chang'an Benben is 1020kg. The Benben is an economical compact car designed and developed by Chang'an Automobile, a subsidiary of China Chang'an Automobile Group. China Chang'an Automobile Group Co., Ltd., formerly known as China South Industries Automobile Co., Ltd., was established in December 2005 and renamed on July 1, 2009. It is a large enterprise group established by China Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation to integrate and optimize its automotive industry. It is one of China's four major automobile groups, headquartered in Beijing. The weight of a car is typically around 1.5-2.6 tons. The weight of a car refers to its mass. The curb weight, or "empty weight," is the weight of the car when fully equipped according to factory specifications, with all fluids filled. The curb weight is an important design indicator for a car and a significant parameter affecting fuel consumption. A vehicle's fuel consumption is directly proportional to its curb weight—the heavier the car, the more fuel it consumes. The gross vehicle weight refers to the weight of the car when fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. Reasons for weight differences in car engines: Car engines are made from materials such as cast aluminum, cast steel, and cast iron. Depending on the vehicle classification, the engine's designed displacement, number of cylinders, and weight vary. Under the same material conditions, a 4-cylinder engine is lighter than a 6-cylinder, a 6-cylinder is lighter than an 8-cylinder, and an 8-cylinder is lighter than a 12-cylinder. Generally, minivan engines are lighter than those in compact cars, and compact car engines are lighter than those in mid-size cars. The engine of a minivan can be moved manually and usually weighs less than 100 pounds, while the engine of a large truck can weigh several hundred pounds or even over a ton.

How Many Tons Can a 4x2 Axle Truck Carry?

According to the relevant regulations by the authorities, the standard load capacity for a 4x2 axle truck under the new rules is 38 tons. Generally, the overload limit for vehicles should not exceed 30%, meaning the maximum actual load for a 4x2 axle truck should not exceed 49 tons. Here are the relevant details: 1. Standard Load Capacity: The vehicle's registration certificate specifies a standard load capacity or passenger capacity. When driving on the road, the vehicle must not exceed the percentage specified on the registration certificate. 2. 4x2 Axle Truck Models: Most vehicles with this many wheels are dump trucks or large heavy-duty trailer trucks. For example, construction materials and goods are often transported using this type of 4x2 axle truck.

What Are the Reasons for Insufficient Cooling in Car Air Conditioning?

Here are the specific reasons why car air conditioning may not be cooling sufficiently: 1. Insufficient or low refrigerant: This could be due to minor leaks. You can observe this through the sight glass on the dryer tank. When the air conditioning is operating normally, continuous bubbles in the sight glass indicate insufficient refrigerant. If there are obvious bubble flips, it indicates a severe shortage of refrigerant. In this case, simply adding refrigerant will resolve the issue. 2. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioning compressor: If the drive belt is loose, the compressor may slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency and a drop in compressor speed. This results in decreased delivery of compressed refrigerant, causing the car air conditioning to not cool properly. If the compressor drive belt is too loose, it should be tightened. If it cannot be turned by hand, it indicates the belt is too tight and should be loosened slightly. If tightening is ineffective or the drive belt shows signs of cracking, aging, or other damage, it should be replaced with a new one.

When was the first car in New China born?

The birth time of the first car in New China: May 31, 1931. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Introduction: The first domestically produced car - the Minsheng brand 75-type truck. 2. Background: To celebrate the advent of the first domestically produced car, the Liaoning Mortar Factory held a grand celebration meeting. The car has a load capacity of 1.82 tons, a long nose, brown color, equipped with a six-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine with 65 horsepower, a wheelbase of 4.7 meters, single tires on all four wheels, and a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour. 3. Features: The self-designed buffered rear axle also has its own characteristics. The radiator is divided into four parts, so even if one part is damaged, the car can still run as usual. Except for the engine, rear axle, electrical equipment, tires, and other parts that used original car components, the factory redesigned and manufactured all other parts.

What is the general lifespan of a clutch master cylinder?

The general lifespan of a clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder is approximately 70,000 kilometers. Below are some driving precautions: Judging following and oncoming vehicle distances: The following distance while driving should be estimated based on the current speed. When stopping, the ideal following distance is generally when you can barely see the rear wheels of the vehicle in front. Proper steering wheel control: Master the five fundamental principles: starting, stopping, turning, shifting gears, and braking. These principles should be flexibly applied according to actual conditions. Night driving offers poorer visibility with limited distance perception, which can heighten anxiety for novice drivers. When driving at night, beginners should first ensure reduced speed. If there are no streetlights and no vehicles ahead, high beams can be used, but they must be switched to low beams when approaching vehicles.

What Causes the Jerking Sensation in a Manual Transmission Car?

It is caused by the difference in gear ratios. Root cause: The lower the gear, the larger the gear ratio, and the more pronounced this phenomenon becomes. First gear has the largest gear ratio. The gear ratio is the ratio of the driving wheel's speed to the driven wheel's speed. In first gear, the input shaft rotates several times before the output shaft completes one rotation, equivalent to a small gear driving a large gear. Thus, the small gear requires minimal force to rotate. Solution: If shifting at higher gears, releasing the clutch slightly faster can reduce wear. For lower gears, to minimize jerking and improve comfort, it is advisable to release the clutch more slowly.
