There are several reasons why a car may not start after being parked for a long time: the car battery may be depleted; low temperatures may cause the viscosity of the engine oil to increase, reducing the engine's rotational speed; there may be issues with the ignition system; the car may have insufficient fuel; excessive carbon buildup inside the engine; or a damaged fuel pump preventing fuel from being supplied to the combustion chamber. Below are some related solutions: Check the battery and fuel level: Check if the battery is depleted; inspect whether the fuel pump is damaged; ensure there is sufficient fuel. Check the engine: Examine if the engine sensors are damaged; check for any issues with the ignition system; use a heating rod to warm up the engine oil.

How to Keep Car Rearview Mirrors Clear in Rainy Weather?

Apply toothpaste or soap evenly on the car's side window glass, let it harden for a while, then wipe it clean with a towel to solve the problem. Spray glass water repellent evenly on the car windows and rearview mirrors. A protective film will form on the rearview mirror surface, which also has hydrophobic properties. If the interior side windows fog up, turn on the car's air conditioning defogging function and adjust the air vent angle towards the glass. For fogging and water droplets on the rearview mirror, if the car has a rearview mirror heating function, turn it on and it will effectively remove fog within 3-5 minutes.

How to Tell if the Return Oil Valve is Faulty?

To determine whether the return oil valve is functioning properly, you can disconnect the vacuum valve to test the return oil. The return oil valve typically uses a vacuum valve; the greater the vacuum, the more the valve opens, resulting in more oil return. The return oil valve, also known as the fuel pressure regulator, can get stuck in the closed position when damaged, leading to excessively high fuel pressure. High oil pressure causes an overly rich air-fuel mixture, resulting in issues such as increased fuel consumption, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, insufficient power, and difficulty starting the engine. The return oil valve serves a pressure-relief function. In a quantitative pump throttle adjustment system, the quantitative pump provides a constant flow. An increase in system pressure reduces the demand for flow.

Does refueling on rainy days have any impact?

Refueling is not recommended on rainy days for the following reasons: 1. During thunderstorms, the fuel nozzle may introduce stray currents into the vehicle's fuel tank, which can increase the movement of unstable gasoline molecules, posing potential hazards such as fire or explosion. 2. The concentration of fuel vapor at gas stations is significantly higher than in other areas. Refueling during thunderstorms can easily lead to the fuel vapor being struck by lightning, causing explosions in both the vehicle and the fuel tank. Here is additional information: 1. There are many types of gasoline, each with different component ratios, leading to variations in performance. Therefore, it is essential to check the gasoline grade before refueling. 2. Some vehicles have higher requirements for gasoline. If the required gasoline is not available, mixing different grades for a short period has minimal impact, except that lower-grade gasoline may have higher knock characteristics, with little other effect.
