How to Determine if the High-Pressure Fuel Pump is Damaged?

Specific reasons still require an immediate visit to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop for a technician to conduct an inspection. The fuel pump is a crucial component in the fuel system. If there is an issue with the fuel pump, the fuel system will naturally fail to operate properly, which can result in the car failing to start.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've encountered high-pressure fuel pump issues multiple times. If your car has difficulty starting, such as requiring several ignition attempts, you should be alert. Symptoms like sluggish acceleration where pressing the gas pedal feels like stepping on cotton, or severe engine vibration at idle, could indicate high-pressure fuel pump problems. I remember once my car made a distinct 'hissing' whistling sound, which turned out to be caused by leaking due to damaged pump seals. For DIY inspection, start the engine and listen for abnormal noises in the engine bay - but don't push your luck. Such issues can be easily confirmed by reading trouble codes with a diagnostic scanner; code P0087 indicates abnormal low-pressure signal. Repairs aren't cheap, costing several thousand to replace, but delaying treatment may lead to complete fuel system failure or even roadside breakdowns. I recommend taking it directly to a repair shop. Regular fuel filter changes during maintenance can extend pump lifespan.

Do car tires have inner tubes?

Car tires do not have inner tubes; they are all tubeless tires, where the tire and the wheel rim form a sealed space. Tubeless tires, commonly known as radial tires or vacuum tires, are tires without inner tubes. These tires do not have inner tubes or flaps but rely on the airtight layer between the tire's inner wall and the bead to ensure good airtightness between the tire and the rim, with the outer tire also serving the function of an inner tube. Tubeless tires are divided into two types: radial tires and bias-ply tires. Both bias-ply and radial tires are pneumatic tires, named based on the different arrangements of the carcass plies. Pneumatic tires are mainly composed of rubber components and ply layers. Although the outer appearance of the tire is entirely rubber, the rubber in the tire's carcass only serves to bond the various components of the carcass, provide sealing, wear resistance, puncture resistance, and some cushioning effects.

Does idling the car with the heater on damage the vehicle?

Idling the car with the heater on can cause damage. When the engine is idling, incomplete fuel combustion produces carbon monoxide. If the windows remain closed, the concentration of carbon monoxide inside the vehicle will gradually increase, potentially leading to carbon monoxide poisoning for the occupants. Additionally, using the heater while idling slows down the engine's warm-up process. Below are the hazards of prolonged idling: Wear on components: During idling, oil pressure is lower, reducing the lubrication effectiveness of the engine oil and accelerating wear on internal engine parts. Idling also leads to incomplete fuel combustion, which can cause carbon buildup in the throttle body. Accelerated cylinder corrosion: When the coolant temperature drops below 60 degrees Celsius, combustion byproducts in the cylinders react chemically with the moisture in the coolant, forming acidic substances that accelerate cylinder corrosion.

What are the performance indicators of a car?

Car performance is mainly evaluated by three indicators: Maximum speed of the car: Refers to the highest driving speed that a car can achieve on a well-paved road. Acceleration time of the car: Indicates the car's acceleration capability, including standing start acceleration time and overtaking acceleration time. Standing start acceleration time refers to the time it takes for a car to start from first or second gear and gradually accelerate from a lower speed to a higher speed with maximum acceleration intensity (including selecting the appropriate shift timing). Climbing ability of the car: Is expressed by the maximum slope that a fully loaded or partially loaded car can climb on a good road surface. The first gear provides the greatest traction. Due to the speed reduction effect of the transmission and reducer, known as speed reduction and torque increase. The maximum climbing slope of an off-road vehicle is about 60%, which is approximately 31 degrees in angle measurement.

Is towing allowed on highways?

Highways do not permit private towing; only rescue vehicles are allowed to tow. Below are precautions for highway driving: Fasten seat belts: Both the driver and front-seat passengers should fasten their seat belts. The driver must not answer phone calls and should avoid making sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds. Do not change lanes arbitrarily: Vehicles must not change lanes at will. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle ahead, the turn signal must be activated in advance. Overtaking is only permitted using adjacent lanes, and the vehicle must return to the driving lane immediately after overtaking. Vehicles must not straddle or drive on the lane dividing line. No reversing or driving in the opposite direction: Reversing or driving in the opposite direction is prohibited. Vehicles must not cross the central divider to make U-turns or turns, nor are test drives or driving school vehicles allowed. Overtaking and parking on ramps are also prohibited. The distance between vehicles should be more than 100 meters. When the speed is below 100 km/h, the distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance must not be less than 50 meters.

What is the difference between motorcycles with ABS and CBS?

The difference between motorcycles with ABS and CBS is that ABS prevents wheel lock-up, while CBS reduces braking distance; ABS offers superior safety performance compared to CBS; ABS is more expensive than CBS. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state to ensure maximum traction between the tires and the road surface. CBS refers to the Combined Braking System, which allows simultaneous braking of both front and rear wheels. Braking both wheels together ensures maximum friction between the tires and the ground, enabling the motorcycle to achieve the shortest braking distance. The ABS braking system prevents wheel lock-up, so vehicles equipped with ABS have a lower probability of skidding or losing control during emergency braking, offering higher safety performance. The CBS system can also help prevent loss of control to some extent, but its primary function is to reduce braking distance. Therefore, vehicles with CBS have lower safety performance compared to those with ABS. Typically, vehicles equipped with ABS are high-end models and are more expensive, while those with CBS are generally mid-to-low-end models and are slightly cheaper.

What Causes the Jerking Sensation When Braking?

Braking with a jerking sensation is due to significant wear of brake pads, issues with transmission gear programming, internal contamination and impurities in the transmission, or poor transmission cooling. The specific reasons are as follows: Significant wear of brake pads: Severe wear or aging of the car's brake pads can cause a jerking sensation when braking. It is advisable to replace the brake pads promptly. Transmission gear programming issues: The transmission control system needs to be reprogrammed. Internal contamination and impurities in the transmission: Contamination or impurities inside the transmission can prevent effective regulation of transmission oil pressure, leading to jerking. Poor transmission cooling: This can cause abnormal high temperatures in the transmission, affecting the performance of the transmission oil. If the temperature exceeds 120 degrees Celsius, the rubber sealing materials in the transmission can harden, leading to oil leaks, which in turn affect oil pressure and cause jerking.
