Insufficient cylinder compression; 6. Low fuel level in the tank or insufficient fuel pump pressure; 7. Leaking ignition wires; 8. Engine malfunction; 9. Clogged single or multiple fuel injectors. Additional information: The correct starting method is to first turn the ignition key to the power position, then press the foot brake, shift the gear from P to N, release the foot brake to start the engine, warm up the car in place, press the foot brake again, shift the gear from N to D, release the handbrake, and finally slowly release the foot brake while gently pressing the accelerator to start smoothly.

Can Engine Oil Still Be Used If It Gets Mixed with Water?

Engine oil cannot be used if it gets mixed with water. When engine oil contains excessive water, its performance will deteriorate. Under certain conditions, excessive water can reduce or even nullify the effectiveness of certain additives in the oil, disrupt its viscosity, and prevent the oil from forming a proper lubricating film on moving friction pairs. This can lead to mechanical damage or even failure. Normally, water-free engine oil appears semi-transparent with a bright color. However, when the oil contains a significant amount of water, it will emulsify, turning milky white and developing foam. In such cases, to prevent engine damage, it is necessary to clean the engine and replace the oil.

What are the quality issues with the iMAX8?

Here is an introduction to the quality issues of the iMAX8: Average noise insulation: The iMAX8 does a relatively good job of isolating road and wind noise, and the low tire noise is mainly due to the Michelin Primacy 4 tires it is equipped with. However, the iMAX8 does not do well in isolating engine noise. When the engine speed exceeds 2,500 rpm, the engine noise becomes quite noticeable, which proves that the iMAX8 indeed falls short in firewall sound insulation. Low practicality: Although the Magic Cube Water Bar is a major selling point of the iMAX8, in actual use, it is not as practical as a storage compartment. Additionally, the iMAX8 does not support the option of installing a storage compartment, which indeed lacks a lot of storage space for parents. Moreover, the Magic Cube Water Bar also makes accessing the third row more difficult.
