Here are the reasons why a car may not start: 1. Battery depletion - the starter begins to turn but lacks sufficient rotational speed (weakness), then the starter only makes a clicking sound without turning. Low winter temperatures and forgetting to turn off certain electrical devices can cause the vehicle to fail to start, as the battery voltage drops below the rated value, preventing the starter from operating normally. 2. Fuel flow obstruction - no oil pressure in the engine fuel supply pipe. Long-term dirt accumulation in fuel lines at lower temperatures, and the mixture of water and debris at low temperatures can block the fuel lines, causing the engine to fail to start. 3. Poor ignition system performance - in cold weather, due to low intake air temperature, fuel atomization in the cylinder is poor, and insufficient ignition energy can lead to cylinder flooding, where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing the car from starting.

What is the reason for the Peugeot P0170 fuel injection malfunction?

P0170 trouble code, applicable to all automobile manufacturers, refers to fuel trim (air-fuel ratio). 1. Introduction to fuel trim: Fuel trim refers to the electronic control unit (ECU) controlling fuel delivery by increasing or decreasing the opening time of the fuel injector, thereby enabling the engine to achieve the optimal air-fuel ratio (the mass ratio of air to gasoline is 14.7:1). A too-rich air-fuel ratio means excessive fuel delivery, while a too-lean air-fuel ratio means insufficient fuel delivery. 2. Possible causes of the malfunction: include air leaks downstream of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, PCV system leaks, exhaust leaks near or before the oxygen sensor, clogged fuel injectors or other fuel system faults, EGR system leaks, contaminated MAF sensor (causing the electronic control module to underestimate air flow), fuel tank level too low, or improperly seated oil dipstick, among others.

What are the new regulations for annual vehicle inspections after 15 years?

The exemption for non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer within 6 years has been expanded to include non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years. 2. Under 10 years: For non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Vehicles involved in fatal accidents or illegally modified and penalized by law will still follow the original inspection cycle to ensure safety performance.
