Parking a car outside in the rain can have an impact. Here is an introduction to water-damaged vehicles: 1. Specific definition of a water-damaged vehicle: The vehicle begins to accumulate water, and internal components suffer damage due to the water. Water-damaged vehicles also have corresponding flood levels. 2. Classification of water-damaged vehicle flood levels: Flood level 1 is when water just reaches the vehicle's chassis; flood level 2 is when water reaches halfway up the wheels; flood level 3 is when water almost completely submerges the tires; flood level 4 is when water reaches the engine hood; flood level 5 is when water completely submerges the engine hood; and flood level 6 is when water submerges the car roof.

Why is the engine shaking intermittently?

If you notice the engine shaking intermittently, it may indicate the following potential issues with the vehicle: 1. Ignition system problems: Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or suboptimal spark plug firing can lead to such symptoms. 2. Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of vehicle shaking is excessive dirt on the throttle body or carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensor are functioning normally. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings/malfunction of the intake pressure sensor can cause body vibration.

Can Motorized Bicycles Carry Passengers?

National traffic regulations do not have clear provisions for fuel-powered motorized bicycles. If the vehicle can be registered as a motor vehicle locally, it is generally classified as a moped. If it cannot be registered, it is not allowed to be driven on the road, let alone carry passengers. Relevant information is as follows: Relevant regulations: In the "Traffic Law," there are clear provisions for electric-powered motorized bicycles, which are classified as non-motor vehicles; however, there are no clear provisions for fuel-powered motorized bicycles. According to the standards of the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation (GB7258—2004)," fuel-powered motorized bicycles should be classified as mopeds. Definition: The "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation (GB7258—2012)" defines a "moped" as: "A two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle, regardless of the driving method, with a maximum speed not exceeding 50 kilometers per hour, and if an internal combustion engine is used, its displacement does not exceed 50 milliliters."

Why Does the Car Feel Bumpy After Changing Tires?

There are two main reasons why a car may feel bumpy after changing tires. Here are the details: 1. Only replacing tires on one side can result in different grip levels between the left and right tires, causing instability. When changing tires, it is generally recommended to ensure that the tires on both sides have similar wear levels and tread patterns. 2. Incorrect alignment of the red and yellow dots on the tire, disrupting the balance. When the valve stem is not aligned with the yellow dot, the entire tire's force distribution may become unbalanced, making the car feel uncomfortable to drive and increasing the risk of a blowout. This issue can accelerate tire wear. Therefore, when changing tires, the valve stem must be aligned with the yellow dot.

What Causes the Engine Speed Sensor to Malfunction?

Engine speed sensor malfunction may be caused by issues with the sensor's wiring leading to the engine control unit. If the wiring is intact, inspect other components. Below is additional information: Engine Speed Sensor: The engine speed sensor is an inductive sensor that captures engine speed and the precise angular position of the crankshaft (input system). A dedicated signal wheel for the engine speed sensor is installed on the flywheel. Design Principle: The signal wheel is designed as a toothed wheel divided into 60 segments. As the signal wheel passes the sensor, it generates an alternating voltage whose frequency varies with speed. The frequency indicates the engine's rotational speed. Sensor Function: To identify the crankshaft position, the signal wheel has a gap between two segments. The engine speed sensor detects engine speed. Together with the Hall sensor, it identifies the top dead center for cylinder 1 ignition, thereby determining fuel injection timing and ignition timing.
