Occasional stalling in an automatic transmission car is not normal. Here are the reasons why an automatic transmission car may occasionally stall: Fuel quality does not meet usage standards: Driving an automatic transmission car is usually simpler, and it generally does not stall easily. If the fuel quality does not meet usage standards, you should choose a reputable fuel station and fill up with fuel that meets the required octane rating. If the fuel line is blocked, the engine's fuel line and carbon deposits need to be inspected and repaired before driving again to ensure safety. If the driver's skills are not proficient enough, more practice with the vehicle is needed to find the appropriate driving method. Changes in the car after an automatic transmission stalls: The steering wheel loses power assistance. After stalling, the power steering pump responsible for providing additional assistance to the steering wheel cannot function, causing both hydraulic and electronic power assistance to fail. Therefore, the steering wheel will instantly become heavier after stalling. The brake also loses power assistance, though the brake assistance can still provide one effective braking action after stalling, which is slightly better than the steering assistance.

What Causes a Diesel Pump to Stop Supplying Fuel?

Diesel pump failure to supply fuel is caused by air entering the fuel line or a malfunction in the governor. The diesel pump operates through the reciprocating motion of the plunger within the plunger sleeve. If any component fails, it can lead to a lack of fuel supply. Below are solutions for a diesel pump not supplying fuel: Check the fuel line: Inspect the fuel line for air. After turning off the engine, immediately loosen the connection of the diesel filter's output fuel pipe to check for air presence. If air is found, it indicates that air is entering from the fuel tank to the fuel transfer pump section. Locate the specific air leak point, clean and unclog the pipeline, and seal the leak. Additionally, if the diesel filter element is positioned higher than the diesel fuel level, the injector is stuck, or the fuel pump lacks pressure, simply adjust the diesel filter element. Replace the governor: Check if the governor is malfunctioning. Its function is to automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the engine's speed. If it fails, it can instantly stop the fuel supply, causing the engine to shut down. Visit a 4S shop for replacement.

Do I need to bring a one-inch photo after passing Subject 4?

For the Subject 4 exam, you only need to bring your ID card; no other items are required. The Subject 4 test paper consists of 50 questions, primarily presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and common sense test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the passed subjects will be voided.
