An engine consists of the crank-connecting rod mechanism, valve mechanism, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, fuel supply system, and starting system. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, and electric motors. Introduction to the two main mechanisms: 1. The crank-connecting rod mechanism converts the gas pressure generated after fuel combustion into the rotational torque of the crankshaft through the piston and connecting rod, utilizing the inertia of the flywheel to complete the four auxiliary strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust; 2. The valve mechanism opens and closes the intake and exhaust valves in a timely manner according to the engine's working sequence and the requirements of each cylinder's working cycle, allowing the combustible mixture or fresh air to enter the cylinder and expelling the exhaust gases.

What is the minimum voltage at the moment of ignition start?

The voltage when starting a car is around 14V. If the vehicle's battery has insufficient current, it will be around 11V during startup. If the voltage is lower than this, the vehicle will not be able to start. Here are some related details: 1. Battery replacement cycle: As the usage period of a vehicle's battery increases, the current of the battery will decrease, and the battery's storage capacity will also reduce. It needs to be replaced after 6~8 years of use. 2. Classification of batteries: The vehicle's battery is an indispensable component of a car. Currently, there are traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The normal service life of a vehicle's battery is about 3 to 4 years, while maintenance-free batteries have a relatively longer lifespan, lasting about 6 to 7 years. 3. Timely battery replacement: During normal use of the vehicle's battery, it is necessary to inspect the battery during every maintenance session. Once it is found that the battery's loss is too significant, it should be replaced promptly.

What are the reasons for uneven throttle response in motorcycles?

Reasons for uneven throttle response in motorcycles include: intake valve leakage; incorrect valve timing; exhaust pipe blockage; air filter malfunction. Below are some relevant introductions about motorcycles: 1. Uses: Motorcycles are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, and also as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. 2. Maintenance tips: When washing the motorcycle, clean the lower part of the engine and the cooling fins thoroughly. It is recommended to use a toothbrush with detergent for cleaning.

What is the solution for the rear seat light not turning off in the 2020 Magotan?

The solution for the rear seat light not turning off in the 2020 Magotan is: Above the middle of the rear seats, there is a switch for the overhead light with three modes. 'ON' is the constant-on mode, where the overhead light stays on continuously, even after locking the car. 'DOOR' means the light only turns on when the door is opened. 'OFF' is the off mode, selecting this will keep the overhead light off and it won't illuminate. Taking the Magotan 2020 280TSI DSG Comfort as an example: it is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4865mm, 1832mm, and 1471mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2871mm, and a top speed of 208 km/h.

What Causes a Car to Start and Then Stall After a Few Seconds?

There are four main reasons why a car starts and then stalls shortly after: 1. Excessive carbon buildup leading to stalling: Carbon deposits typically accumulate in the throttle body, spark plugs, cylinders, fuel lines, and intake tracts. These are a tar-like substance formed when fuel burns at high temperatures. Physical cleaning methods are often ineffective, requiring specialized chemical cleaners for removal. 2. Poor fuel quality and clogged fuel injectors: Using low-quality fuel not only increases carbon buildup but can also clog fuel injectors, impairing atomization. Additionally, poor fuel directly affects combustion efficiency, increasing fuel consumption. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide, which can accumulate inside the vehicle and potentially cause fatal poisoning. 3. Spark plug carbon buildup and insufficient ignition voltage: Carbon deposits on spark plugs can be removed through both physical and chemical methods. Insufficient ignition voltage can be addressed by replacing the spark plugs. 4. Severely depleted battery: If the battery is significantly drained, it may make the engine difficult or impossible to start. Generally, a car battery has a lifespan of about four years.

Why Does the Car Shake When Shifting from D to N Gear?

The reasons for the car shaking when shifting from D to N gear are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or improper spark plug firing can also lead to such issues. 3. Unstable oil pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the oil gasket and spark plugs, but still notice the car shaking, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can also cause the car to shake.

What are the hazards of a broken headlight mounting bracket?

There are no hazards if the headlight mounting bracket is broken. The method for adjusting the headlight beam is as follows: 1. Start the car; 2. Press the clock button; 3. After hearing a beep, the time will start flashing; 4. Press the hour and minute buttons; 5. After setting the correct time, press the clock button to confirm. The functions of car headlights are: 1. To accurately illuminate the road ahead; 2. To enhance driving safety at night; 3. To avoid affecting the visibility of oncoming drivers. Precautions for using headlights include: 1. Turn on low beams when driving at night; 2. Do not use high beams when driving closely behind another vehicle in the same direction; 3. When passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic lights at night, alternate between high and low beams as a signal.
