Under normal circumstances, a car should start with just one ignition attempt. If the car is difficult to start, it may require multiple attempts. The reasons for difficulty in starting a car are as follows: 1. Low concentration of the air-fuel mixture. 2. Poor gasoline atomization. 3. Insufficient ignition energy. 4. Battery issues. 5. Damage or aging of the ignition coil and spark plugs. 6. Dirty throttle, intake, and exhaust systems. 7. Use of substandard gasoline. Solutions for difficult car ignition include: 1. Press the horn to assess the battery's charge level based on the sound. If insufficient, check if the electrolyte level is adequate and inspect the battery casing and plates for damage. 2. Inspect the spark plugs to determine if the issue lies with the ignition system or the fuel supply system based on the spark strength. 3. Remove the spark plugs and turn the engine to diagnose whether the problem is with the fuel supply system or ignition timing based on the dryness, moisture, and smell of the exhaust gases. 4. Remove the engine cover to check the ignition timing. If incorrect, adjust the breaker. If correct, clean the breaker. 5. Use a cylinder pressure gauge to check; if the compression pressure is not less than 6.10 Pascals, it indicates an internal mechanical fault in the engine. 6. Remove the muffler; if there is excessive carbon buildup, it indicates a blockage in the exhaust system. 7. Check the car battery for normal operation and sufficient voltage.

What does GTE mode mean?

Automobile GTE mode is the designation for Volkswagen's plug-in hybrid models. The following are specific introductions to plug-in hybrid vehicles: 1. GTE mode is the sport mode of Volkswagen's plug-in hybrid vehicles. In this mode, the vehicle has stronger power while maintaining certain fuel economy. Plug-in hybrid vehicles belong to the category of new energy vehicles, and they are different from ordinary hybrid vehicles. 2. The biggest advantage of plug-in hybrid vehicles is that they have a longer driving range compared to ordinary pure electric vehicles, but their exhaust emissions are lower than those of ordinary gasoline-powered vehicles and hybrid vehicles. The power battery of a plug-in hybrid vehicle can be charged using an external power source, but ordinary hybrid vehicles cannot be charged externally. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have a longer driving range in pure electric mode. These vehicles have better fuel economy than ordinary hybrid vehicles and also emit less exhaust than ordinary hybrid vehicles.

Where is the Pu license plate from?

Currently, there is no information about a Pu license plate. Here is some related information about license plates: 1. The representation method of a license plate number is: abbreviated province name + letter code of the prefecture-level city + 5-digit license plate number. 2. A license plate is a numbering and information registration for vehicles. Its main function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs through the license plate, and also to look up the owner and registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate. 3. The first character of the license plate represents the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, and the second character represents the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, indicated by letter codes.

What Causes Car Shaking?

The reasons for car shaking are: 1. Incomplete fuel combustion leads to insufficient power and low ignition energy. During startup, especially when fuel and lubricant temperatures are low, more throttle is needed to meet power demands. Over time, the spark plug gap gradually widens, reducing ignition energy and causing poor fuel atomization, resulting in car shaking. 2. Aging ignition coils, high-voltage wires, or electrical leakage in spark plugs can also reduce ignition energy. 3. There are many reasons for car shaking during cold or warm starts, including incomplete fuel combustion, abnormal engine coolant temperature, low cylinder pressure, or clogged fuel injectors. If your car shakes during startup, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

Can 95 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed with Some 92 Octane Gasoline?

95 octane gasoline and 92 octane gasoline cannot be mixed. The reasons are as follows: 1. The engine compression ratios for 95 octane and 92 octane gasoline are different. 95 octane gasoline is suitable for engines with higher compression ratios. If a high-compression engine uses 92 octane gasoline, abnormal combustion may occur, leading to knocking. 2. Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline, which are then blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles. 3. At room temperature, gasoline is a colorless to pale-yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water.

How to Distinguish Between China 5 and China 6?

The differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: China 6 emission standards are more than 30% stricter than China 5. Excluding the influence of working conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. The China 6 standard was implemented on July 1, 2019. Different principles: Under the China 5 standard, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards. However, China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Different issuing departments: The China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The China 6 standard was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China 5 is represented by 'V,' while China 6 is represented by 'VI.' Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China 5, China 6 has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulations. China 5 standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China 6 has two standards: China 6a and China 6b, as follows: China 6a standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China 6b standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. Affected by the China 6 emission policy, although China 5 vehicles are not currently restricted in normal use (no driving bans or license plate restrictions), their resale value will be significantly impacted. For truck owners, if they purchase a truck on loan for cargo transport, the vehicle's depreciation after repaying the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China 6 vehicles, which have a longer service life and more road rights, offer greater advantages.
