Engine cylinder deactivation is caused by: 1. Excessive wear gap in the engine cylinder liner and piston rings, improper closing of intake and exhaust valves, and cylinder pressure insufficiency due to leaking valve seals; 2. Poor fuel atomization caused by worn fuel injectors, leading to increased or decreased fuel quantity, or even failure to inject fuel; 3. Issues with the engine control unit (ECU). An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, suitable for power generation devices. It is categorized by structural function into: 1. External combustion engines: Fuel burns outside the engine; 2. Internal combustion engines: Fuel burns inside the engine; 3. Gas turbines: Combustion produces high-pressure gas, which drives the turbine blades to rotate and output power.

Can ETC be attached at the black dot area on the windshield?

The black dot area on the car's windshield should not be used for ETC installation, as this position may obstruct the solar panel behind it from receiving sunlight. Additionally, the chosen ETC installation location must not interfere with the driver's line of sight. Where can ETC be installed: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane). The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and a red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device.

What Causes Low Idle Speed in Cars?

Reasons for low idle speed in cars are as follows: 1. Spark plug carbon deposits: Carbon deposits can be cleaned to restore spark plug activity, but some spark plugs may be nearing the end of their lifespan, leading to reduced performance. 2. Clogged fuel injector or fuel line: Blockages in the fuel system, particularly in the fuel injector, can result in insufficient fuel supply pressure, poor fuel atomization, and an imbalanced air-fuel mixture, leading to incomplete combustion and related issues. 3. Faulty sensors: Malfunctioning sensors can prevent the ECU from accurately controlling the air-fuel ratio. Common examples include faulty coolant temperature sensors, oxygen sensors, and throttle position sensors.

What is the main function of the car's rearview mirrors?

There are three rearview mirrors in the car: the left and right side mirrors and the center rearview mirror. Their specific functions are as follows: 1. Left and right side mirrors: Their main function is to facilitate the observation of passing vehicles during overtaking and to help the driver overtake and yield to vehicles behind. 2. Center rearview mirror: It is primarily used to monitor the surrounding traffic flow, observe the actions of passengers, and more clearly see the distance maintained by vehicles behind you, allowing the driver to choose a safe driving position. Drivers should adjust the position and angle of the rearview mirrors before driving. During driving, vehicle vibrations may cause changes in the position and angle of the rearview mirrors, so it is important to observe and adjust them promptly.

Can 5w40 engine oil be used in summer for cars?

5w40 engine oil can be used in summer as its higher viscosity provides better lubrication and protection for the vehicle. Here are some precautions for using engine oil in summer: 1. Temperature: Due to the higher ambient temperature, special attention should be paid to the engine cooling system to ensure its normal operation and prevent engine overheating. 2. Oil selection: Multi-grade or single-grade oil should be chosen for summer use. 3. Heavy-duty or older vehicles: Lubricants with higher viscosity should be selected to avoid low oil pressure caused by excessively low viscosity, which may lead to unnecessary malfunctions.
