The reasons for a car's weak acceleration when starting are: 1. Carbon deposits in areas such as the valves, idle speed motor, intake tract, combustion chamber, and spark plugs; 2. Driving in congested roads, where the car frequently accelerates and decelerates, can lead to a weak feeling when driving again; 3. Poor fuel quality can affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, possibly causing inadequate fuel supply and resulting in weak acceleration; 4. A clogged three-way catalytic converter directly impacts the vehicle's acceleration performance and can also increase fuel consumption, leading to weak acceleration when starting.

Why is driving at 80 km/h in 4th gear more fuel-efficient than in 5th gear?

Driving at 80 km/h in 4th gear is more fuel-efficient than in 5th gear for the following reasons: Due to the larger gear ratio in 4th gear, the engine output torque is smaller when driving in 4th compared to 5th gear. Normally, driving with light throttle input is more fuel-efficient in higher gears. However, when encountering uphill driving or full-load conditions where the throttle is pressed more than halfway, it is advisable to downshift one gear, as this can actually save more fuel. Tips for fuel-efficient driving: 1. Tip one: Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, as these actions consume several times more fuel and accelerate wear on car tires, shock absorbers, and other components. 2. Tip two: In winter, warm up the vehicle for about a minute until the tachometer needle drops before setting off, and maintain steady driving for 1 to 2 kilometers before accelerating. 3. Tip three: When approaching an intersection, observe the distant traffic signal early; if deceleration is needed, release the throttle early to coast to the intersection. 4. Tip four: For automatic transmission vehicles, unless necessary, avoid stomping on the accelerator. Instead, press the throttle gradually to allow the vehicle to accelerate smoothly to the target speed. This is because automatic transmissions have a kick-down function—when the accelerator is pressed hard, the transmission control unit will downshift to provide greater acceleration capability.

What is the principle of the Wuling Hongguang S dual flywheel?

Wuling Hongguang OBD port is specifically located on the lower left side of the main driver's steering wheel, inside the instrument panel. You need to bend down and crawl in to see it. Here are some additional details: 1. Wuling Hongguang S 2018 1.5L Comfort Model: Its exterior design boldly combines the design languages of commercial vehicles and mainstream SUVs, using a square shape and smooth, straight lines to outline a stylish and fashionable visual style for commercial vehicles. The front face features wide chrome trim strips paired with a prominent logo to inherit the family characteristics, while details such as the lens headlights and sharp fog lamp design highlight a touch of sophistication. The side of the body uses double horizontal waistlines to create a sense of stability, extending from the front headlights to the rear taillights, making the body shape appear more elongated. 2.

How many points will be deducted for changing lanes by crossing the solid line in a tunnel?

Changing lanes by crossing the solid line in a tunnel will result in a deduction of 3 points. White solid line: The white solid line is used to separate lanes in the same direction, usually marked before traffic lights at intersections. Many drivers are caught violating traffic rules by crossing this type of line. Single yellow solid line: The single yellow solid line prohibits vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in both directions. It is marked on roads with only one lane in one direction or one motor vehicle lane and one non-motor vehicle lane, as well as in sections where overtaking is prohibited due to other hazards. Yellow no-parking solid line: When the single yellow solid line is marked on one side of the road, it becomes a "no-parking line," indicating that parking is prohibited for any vehicle in that section. Guide line: Guide lines usually appear at intersections, ramps, U-turn lanes, and other locations with complex driving conditions. Their purpose is to guide vehicles to drive according to the prescribed route.

Should I Signal When Overtaking in the Far Left Lane?

In the far left lane, overtaking is not allowed. Therefore, there is no need to use the turn signal. Prohibited overtaking situations: According to Article 43 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": When motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the following vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front to allow for emergency braking measures. Overtaking is prohibited under any of the following circumstances: the vehicle in front is making a left turn, U-turn, or overtaking; there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle; the vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency duties; passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or urban areas with heavy traffic where overtaking conditions are not met. Relevant regulations: Motor vehicles passing through intersections should proceed according to traffic signals, signs, markings, or the direction of traffic police; when passing through intersections without traffic signals, signs, markings, or traffic police direction, they should slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way.

What Causes the Oil Can Light to Illuminate in a Car?

Car fault light illumination reasons are as follows: Cooling and temperature reduction: Engine oil can bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. Cleaning and purification: High-quality engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components back to the oil tank through circulation. The flow of the lubricating oil washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the components. Sealing and leakage prevention: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. Rust and corrosion prevention: Lubricating oil can adhere to the surfaces of components, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. Shock absorption and cushioning: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston skirt, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear of components, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding components, thereby reducing wear.
