Car stalling reasons are as follows: 1. The use of inferior fuel (many gas stations sell impure fuel for huge profits) leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling. 2. Issues with the fuel system, including whether the fuel pump is damaged, whether the fuel passages are clear, whether the fuel injectors are clogged, whether the fuel pressure is normal, etc., these can also cause the car to stall. 3. Insufficient driving skills. A driver's lack of proficiency or improper operation can also cause the car to stall. 4. Possible faults with the spark plugs or ignition coils, causing one or multiple cylinders to misfire, leading to stalling. However, stalling only occurs when multiple cylinders fail to ignite simultaneously, so this is a possibility but relatively unlikely.

That day I was driving to the countryside when the car suddenly stalled on its own. Later, it was found that the fuel pump had failed. This situation is quite common. If the fuel supply is not smooth or the fuel pump burns out, the engine will directly run out of fuel and stall. Some friends' cars may also stall due to aging ignition coils or severe carbon buildup on the spark plugs. Additionally, if the crankshaft position sensor fails and the computer does not receive a signal, it can also force the engine to stall. Last time, my neighbor Old Wang's car stalled three times at an intersection, and it was discovered that the alternator wasn't charging, causing the battery to drain. Experiencing an automatic stall while driving is particularly dangerous. Remember to immediately turn on the hazard lights and move the car to the roadside for inspection.

Is the dash cam on when the car is not started?

The dash cam can still be used when the car is not started. This is because the dash cam has a built-in battery, although its capacity is not large and cannot be used alone for too long. Generally, dash cams are connected to the car's cigarette lighter for power, and the Kailide dash cam is no exception. Another method to turn on the dash cam when the car is not started is to connect it to a power bank for charging. Relevant information about dash cams is as follows: 1. Introduction: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. 2. Function: After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents.

Should the handbrake be lowered or raised when starting the car?

When starting the car, the handbrake needs to be lowered, and when parking, the handbrake needs to be pulled up. The commonly referred to "releasing the handbrake" means lowering the handbrake. For small cars, the handbrake is sometimes located behind the transmission, where there is a brake disc connected to the drive shaft, similar to a disc brake (though drum brakes are also used). The braking force is transmitted via a cable to achieve parking braking. Relevant information about braking is as follows: 1. Introduction: Refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. 2. Principle: The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine, and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force.

What is an On-board DC-DC Converter?

Here is the relevant introduction about on-board DC-DC converters: 1. Function: The role of a DC-DC converter is to convert the high voltage of the power battery pack into a constant low voltage of 12V, 14V, or 24V. It can both power the vehicle's electrical systems and charge the auxiliary battery. In pure electric vehicles, the function of the DC-DC converter is equivalent to that of the generator and regulator in traditional fuel-powered vehicles. 2. Classification: There are boost-type DC/DC converters, buck-type DC/DC converters, and buck-boost-type DC/DC converters. Three types of control can be adopted based on requirements.

What does vehicle manufacturing date mean?

Manufacturing date refers to the date when all the components of a vehicle are assembled and the vehicle is in its complete state, indicating that it can enter the debugging phase. The manufacturing date is earlier than the delivery date. The delivery date of a vehicle refers to the date when the vehicle, after undergoing various tests and debugging, is ready to be delivered. Methods to check the vehicle production date: The production date is usually marked on the vehicle's nameplate and can also be seen in the engine compartment. Additionally, the production date can be determined from the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which is almost impossible to alter and is the most standard method for verification. Each vehicle's VIN is unique, with certain digits representing the production year. For example, the tenth digit typically indicates the production year, with 'L' representing 2020. If the year in the VIN does not match the year on the nameplate, it may indicate an issue with the vehicle. Furthermore, production dates can also be found on various components such as the vehicle's windows and seat belts. These component dates should always be earlier than the vehicle's production date. If there is a significant gap between the component dates and the vehicle's production date, it may suggest that the vehicle has issues.

Does Auto Damage Insurance Cover Typhoon Damage?

During typhoon weather, most damages can be compensated through auto damage insurance. If a vehicle is hit by falling objects from high altitudes, resulting in window glass damage, this situation can also be covered by auto damage insurance even if the vehicle is not insured with glass insurance. However, insurance companies generally do not compensate for vehicles that only have glass damage with other parts intact. Here is a brief introduction to auto damage insurance: 1. Basic Information: Without scratch insurance, it is relatively difficult to claim a full car repaint for an accident vehicle. Since a full car repaint is more expensive, the fixed amount is also higher, so the damage assessment will be higher, requiring the car to be severely damaged to claim for the paint. Generally, insurance companies will not fully compensate, but only pay for the damaged paint surfaces. 2. Full Name of Insurance: The full name of scratch insurance is Body Scratch Loss Insurance. It is available for family-owned vehicles and non-commercial vehicles. It refers to the insurance company being responsible for compensating for the actual loss of the vehicle's surface paint that is scratched without obvious collision marks during the insurance period.
