Connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle. Connect the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle to a grounding point on the dead car's body (such as a metal screw or other metal part). After starting the car, remove the jumper cables in the order of positive first, then negative.

What Does Car Idle Speed Refer To?

Car idle speed is not a type of speed but rather a working condition, where the engine runs without any load. Idle speed can be very harmful to a car. Here are several methods to determine car idle speed issues: 1. Oil dipstick wobbling. When the car is idling, the oil dipstick will not be as clear as usual and may appear double, which is easy to notice. 2. Severe fluctuation in idle speed expectation. This can be detected via the engine tachometer or by reading data blocks. Normally, the speed fluctuates around the idle speed expectation, and a significant deviation indicates a problem. 3. Abnormal body vibration. This is the most obvious sign. If the car body vibrates unusually, it suggests an issue with the idle speed.

Will Dual-Clutch Gear Shifting Cause Jerking?

Dual-clutch gear shifting can indeed cause jerking. Due to the mechanical limitations of dual-clutch transmissions and their shifting logic, jerking may occur when driving at low speeds under specific road conditions. There are two main reasons why a car engine burns oil: First, oil burning when the engine is cold. The symptom is that the engine exhaust pipe emits a lot of blue smoke, but returns to normal after the engine warms up. The possible cause is corrosion and aging of the valve oil seal, leading to poor sealing, which allows oil to leak into the combustion chamber from the valve, resulting in jerking after burning. Second, oil burning when the engine is hot. The symptom is that the exhaust pipe does not emit blue smoke when the engine is cold, but emits heavy blue smoke after the engine warms up. This is usually caused by issues with the piston rings. For example, normal wear and tear over time as the car's mileage increases can gradually enlarge the gap between the piston and the cylinder. When this wear reaches a certain level, cylinder blow-by begins, leading to oil burning.

What is the trunk capacity of the BMW 3 Series?

The trunk capacity of the BMW 3 Series is 520 liters. Below are the relevant details of the BMW 3 Series: 1. Body dimensions: The standard-wheelbase BMW 3 Series 320i/330i models measure 4719*1827*1459mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm. The long-wheelbase BMW 3 Series 320Li/330Li models measure 4829*1827*1463mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2961mm. 2. In terms of power, both the 320i/320Li and 330i/330Li are equipped with the B48 series 2.0T turbocharged engine, but with different power outputs. The 320i has a maximum power of 115KW, delivering 156 horsepower, while the 330i has a maximum power of 190KW, delivering 258 horsepower. Both are paired with an 8AT transmission.

What are the symptoms of insufficient cylinder pressure?

Insufficient cylinder pressure may exhibit the following symptoms: 1. Deep grooves on the cylinder wall, loss of sealing between the piston, piston rings and cylinder wall friction pair, resulting in reduced cylinder compression pressure and loss of power. 2. Downward leakage of combustible mixture increases crankcase pressure, which may cause crankcase explosion in severe cases. 3. Severe smoke emission from the exhaust pipe, abnormal engine noise, and engine malfunction or even stalling. 4. Insufficient cylinder pressure affects combustion conditions, leading to inadequate power and torque, weakened vehicle acceleration performance, slightly increased fuel consumption, and decreased power performance.

What Are the Causes of Difficult Cold Starts?

Difficult cold starts in vehicles are primarily caused by the following four reasons: First: Faulty fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure in the fuel system directly affects the mixture concentration. If the vehicle has difficulty starting, the fuel pressure should be checked first, and the fault location can be determined by inspecting the fuel pressure regulator. Second: Coolant temperature too low. When the coolant temperature is too low, the engine will increase the fuel injection volume based on the signal from the temperature sensor, commonly referred to as enrichment starting. Due to the temperature, starting can also be very difficult at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the antifreeze according to climate changes. Third: Excessive carbon deposits. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. Only after the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline will the engine start easily. Fourth: Faulty fuel injector. Fuel injector faults are mostly evident during cold starts, especially in winter. The lower the engine temperature during a cold start, the greater the required increase in gasoline injection. This is mainly because, during low-temperature engine starts, gasoline vaporization at the intake valve and cylinder wall is poor, and some gasoline cannot fully evaporate and burn, leading to an overly lean mixture in the cylinder. This causes difficult cold starts, unstable idling, and stalling. Once the engine warms up, the fault symptoms disappear.
