Effective November 20, 2021, the new vehicle inspection regulations expanded the exemption scope for motor vehicles from the original 6 years and under for vehicles with ≤6 seats to now include non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats. The inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, while vehicles aged 6-10 years will now be inspected biennially instead of annually. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, inspected biennially from 6-10 years, and inspected every 6 months if over 15 years old. Operational passenger vehicles: Inspected annually if under 5 years old, and every 6 months if over 5 years old. Medium-sized vehicles: Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles are inspected annually if under 10 years old, and every 6 months if over 10 years old. Motorcycles: Inspected biennially if under 4 years old, and annually if over 4 years old. Other vehicle types: Tractors and other motor vehicles are inspected annually.

What Are the Common Issues After Cleaning Fuel Injectors?

Common issues after cleaning fuel injectors include engine shaking and increased fuel consumption. Below are detailed solutions: Handling Engine Shaking: The vehicle's onboard computer has a self-learning function, and the fuel injection data before cleaning is stored in the ECU. After cleaning, the throttle continues to use the data from when it was clogged, leading to unstable idle and severe shaking due to the higher throttle opening. Simply resetting the throttle opening to factory settings can resolve this issue. Increased Fuel Consumption: After cleaning the throttle, fuel consumption may noticeably increase for a short period. This can stabilize over time or be resolved by resetting the computer. Some vehicle models require connecting to a maintenance computer via the onboard OBD interface to perform the reset.

What lights should be turned on when temporarily parking a vehicle in rainy weather?

When temporarily parking a vehicle in rainy weather, the hazard warning lights (double flash lights) should be turned on. Reason for turning on the hazard warning lights: Because the braking distance of a car in rainy weather is longer than on a sunny day, to prevent rear-end collisions, it is necessary to inform the following vehicles in advance, hence the hazard warning lights should be activated. Use rear fog lights cautiously: In very heavy rain, rear fog lights can be turned on because the red tail lights themselves have excellent penetration, and general heavy rain cannot block their light. Rear fog lights are very bright and can be used to penetrate thick fog, but using them in ordinary rainy weather can easily dazzle the following vehicles. If the vision of the following driver is affected, the safety of the leading vehicle cannot be guaranteed. Hazard warning lights are the highest level of warning lights, so many people instinctively turn them on in heavy fog. However, this practice is prohibited in some countries because it can make it difficult for following vehicles to judge the direction of the leading vehicle. It is especially important to note that you should never change lanes with hazard warning lights on. Try to avoid changing lanes in foggy weather. If you need to change lanes, turn off the hazard warning lights and turn on the turn signals. If driving on a highway, it is recommended that drivers turn on the turn signals 500 meters before changing lanes or exiting the ramp.

Will a Damaged Exhaust Valve Cause Oil Burning?

Exhaust valve damage can indeed lead to oil burning and may also cause engine idle shaking or stalling. The main causes of exhaust valve damage include: 1. Poor quality of the exhaust valve itself; 2. Improper maintenance, low-quality fuel, or prolonged use leading to aging. The exhaust valve, also known as the pressure control valve, is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet to improve heat transfer efficiency within the condenser and evaporator. It works by recirculating exhaust gases back into the cylinder for combustion. The reintroduced exhaust gases effectively lower the internal temperature of the cylinder, thereby inhibiting the formation of NOX and reducing NOX emissions in the exhaust.

What is the tire pressure for a 4.2-meter truck?

The tire pressure for a 4.2-meter truck is typically 800kpa. Below is a detailed introduction regarding tire pressure: Tire pressure standards are related to tire type and vehicle model: Different vehicle models have varying weights, heights, and tire sizes, thus requiring different tire pressures. You can refer to the vehicle's user manual or the label near the door (next to the B-pillar or C-pillar), where the manufacturer's recommended value (cold tire pressure) can be found. Factors affecting tire pressure: Tire pressure is also significantly influenced by seasonal factors. In summer, high temperatures can cause tires to heat up during driving, and high pressure may lead to blowouts, so the pressure should be slightly lower. In winter, the tire pressure should be a bit higher than in summer.

What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Shudder When Starting?

Manual transmission cars may shudder when starting due to worn clutch components, a dirty throttle body, or fuel system issues. The specific reasons are as follows: Worn Clutch Components: When starting from a standstill and gradually releasing the clutch pedal, the vehicle may shudder. This is caused by irregular wear in the clutch assembly (flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate), leading to misalignment of one or more components. Dirty Throttle Body: A dirty throttle body can cause uneven air intake and result in shuddering. Fuel System Issues: Insufficient fuel supply when accelerating can lead to uneven engine cylinder operation and shuddering.
