What is engine misfire?

Engine misfire may be caused by issues such as poor valve sealing, spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, or piston ring sealing problems. Engine misfire primarily refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly, typically manifested as: 1. Noticeable abnormal engine operation or insufficient power; 2. Uneven engine operation and rhythmic shaking at high, medium, and low speeds; 3. Black smoke and backfiring from the muffler. Engine misfire operation can cause significant harm: 1. Decrease in engine speed and power; 2. Increased fuel consumption and emission pollution; 3. Accelerated wear of operating components, shortening the service life of lubricating oil.

What is the difference between parking gear and handbrake?

The differences between parking gear and handbrake are: 1. The engine can only be started when the gear lever is in the P or N position. To move out of these positions while the ignition is on, you must press the brake pedal and simultaneously press the handle button. 2. Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions cannot be started by towing. Due to the flexible connection between the torque converter and the engine, the transmission cannot rotate the crankshaft in reverse. 3. The P gear can serve as an auxiliary brake to the handbrake but cannot replace it. For prolonged parking, the gear lever should be placed in the P position while the handbrake must be engaged. 4. For short-term stops while driving, you can leave the gear in D and hold the brake pedal; there is no need to shift to P gear.

What are the symptoms of engine misfire?

Symptoms of engine misfire: 1. Abnormal engine operation or insufficient power; 2. Uneven operation with rhythmic shaking; 3. Black smoke from the muffler. Hazards of misfire: 1. Decreased engine lubrication; 2. Increased fuel consumption and emission pollution; 3. Accelerated wear of moving parts and increased abnormal shaking. Engine misfire can lead to high fuel consumption, black smoke, lack of power, decreased horsepower, inability to accelerate, severe shaking, increased driving noise, and poses significant safety risks, especially on uphill starts where the engine load increases, making the body shake more noticeably and prone to sudden stalling.

How to Determine if the ABS Pump is Damaged?

Judgment Method: If the ABS pump is damaged, the brake pedal will feel very hard when pressed, and the sound will be strange, not the usual crisp and short sound. You can find a flat, uninhabited road, maintain a speed of about 60 mph, and slam on the brakes. If the brake pedal kicks back, it indicates that the ABS is functioning normally; if it doesn't kick back, it means the ABS is not working and there is a fault. If you remove the ABS fuse and apply the brakes at around 40 km/h, you will notice obvious brake marks on the vehicle. Here are the consequences of a faulty ABS: 1. If the ABS is damaged, there is a very serious hidden danger: in the case of emergency braking, the ABS function will not perform its role. 2. The ABS system prevents the tires from locking during sudden braking, avoiding accidents. If the ABS pump is damaged, the ABS warning light will come on, the anti-lock function will fail, and the brake pads will not reset. 3. If the ABS function is lost, you should use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) when braking, avoid sudden braking, and go to a professional repair shop for repair or replacement. 4. Modern cars are extensively equipped with anti-lock braking systems. The ABS not only has the braking function of a conventional braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the car to steer while braking, ensuring directional stability during braking, and preventing skidding and deviation. It is currently the most advanced and effective braking device in automobiles.

What Causes Engine Smoke?

Reasons for engine smoke: 1. Incomplete combustion due to small fuel injection advance angle; 2. Slight water leakage in the cylinder liner or water presence in the fuel; 3. White smoke during cold starts, which disappears as the engine warms up; 4. Air-fuel ratio imbalance, decreased cylinder pressure, premature fuel injection timing, or failure of the smoke limiter on the injection pump; 5. Malfunction in the exhaust brake system; 6. Burning engine oil; 7. Wear of engine cylinder liners, piston ring sticking, misalignment, aging or deformation of valve seals, excessive valve guide clearance; 8. Engine oil entering the cylinder through the intake tract. Automotive engines are categorized into: naturally aspirated, turbocharged, mechanically supercharged, and twin-charged.

What Causes Engine Oil Leakage?

Reasons for engine oil leakage: 1. Damaged oil pan: As the container for storing engine oil, the oil pan will immediately leak oil once damaged; 2. Loose or stripped drain plug: If the vehicle is undergoing maintenance or an oil change, and the staff's negligence or improper operation causes the plug to loosen or strip, the engine will inevitably leak oil; 3. Excessive crankcase pressure: When too much oil is added, or the crankcase ventilation system fails, causing the mixed gas entering the cylinders to continuously accumulate, resulting in excessive internal crankcase pressure, the high-pressure gas will force the oil out from the seals, causing oil leakage.
