If there is a nail in your tire and it hasn't been repaired, you should not drive on the highway. Even after repair, the decision depends on the specific situation. If the nail is in the tread area, which is thick and flat, repairing it does not compromise the tire's safety, and you can drive on the highway. However, if the nail is in the sidewall, which is thin with only two layers of cord fabric and rubber, repairing it still affects the tire's safety, and driving on the highway is not recommended. Such a tire, even if repaired, should only be used for emergency purposes in daily driving. If the tire damage exceeds 60mm in diameter or the outer wall is damaged, it is advisable to replace the tire directly.

Is Gear Shift Jerking Normal for Automatic Transmissions?

Automatic transmission gear shift jerking is not normal. Here are the reasons for automatic transmission gear shift jerking: 1. Transmission clutch pressure leakage. 2. Blockage or poor flow in the transmission oil passage. 3. Insufficient transmission oil level. 4. Damaged solenoid valve. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The correct usage methods for automatic transmissions are as follows: 1. Start the vehicle in P or N gear. Shift out of P gear by stepping on the brake, turn on the power while stepping on the brake, shift to N gear, and after ignition, shift to D gear to move forward directly. 2. When switching between N, D, and L gears, there is no need to press the shift button. When shifting from L gear to lower restricted gears, press the shift button; shifting from lower gears to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button. 3. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast, and do not push into P gear while driving. 4. After driving, the engine must be turned off and shifted into P gear before the key can be removed.

Why does a car suddenly stall while driving?

There are generally 5 reasons why a car suddenly stalls while driving: 1. Electrical circuit failure. This is caused by low-voltage power interruption during driving, leading to stalling. At this time, it is necessary to check the ignition and starter switch, as well as the fuse box. 2. Low-voltage line short circuit causing stalling, which results in intermittent stalling. In this case, the low-voltage lines need to be checked. 3. Component failure. 4. Fuel system failure. This includes damage to the fuel pump, rupture of the fuel line, blockage of the carburetor fuel inlet, or insufficient fuel in the tank. 5. Ignition system failure, where the engine's overheat anti-explosion system malfunctions.

What is the ECU in a car?

ECU in a car refers to the computer control module, also known as the electronic control unit, onboard computer, or vehicle computer. The functions of the ECU include: fault self-diagnosis and protection. When a system fault occurs, it can automatically record the fault code in RAM and take protective measures to read substitute programs from the inherent programs mentioned above to maintain engine operation. The function of the car ECU is to constantly monitor various input data and the operating states of the vehicle, calculate the information sent by various sensors according to pre-designed programs, and after processing, send the parameters to the relevant actuators to perform various predetermined control functions.
