Catalytic damage causing single or multiple cylinder misfires may have the following reasons: 1. Carbon deposit accumulation and contamination: The combustion of leaded gasoline can quickly damage the three-way catalytic converter; when engine oil enters the cylinder and burns, phosphorus, zinc, and other substances in the oil can also contaminate the catalytic converter. 2. Ceramic core damage: Long-term effects of thermal cycling and external impacts or compression can cause the ceramic core to break. 3. Ceramic core melting: During normal operation, the internal temperature of the catalytic converter can generally reach 500~800°C, with the outlet temperature being about 30~100°C higher than the inlet temperature.

Why does the engine squeak when cold but not when hot?

Cold engine squeaking while hot engine remains quiet is mainly caused by poor sealing of engine valves, inadequate lubrication; overly tight belts or bearing noise. If abnormal noises persist after the engine warms up, it is recommended that the owner promptly visit a repair shop for inspection to identify the specific cause. When a car is parked for more than a day, the engine's lubricating oil basically all flows back to the oil pan. During a cold start, the oil pump cannot immediately establish oil pressure or form an oil film between components, especially in the cylinder head and internal valves, which do not receive lubrication during a cold start. Whether it's hydraulic lifters or mechanical rocker arms, there will be some valve clearance, leading to a tapping noise. After the engine runs for a while, oil pressure is established, the oil film forms, and the oil temperature rises. Once the engine operates normally, the tapping sound disappears, which is a normal condition.

How to Charge a Start-Stop Battery?

The charging method for a start-stop battery is the same as for a regular battery. Connect the negative terminal of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery and the positive terminal of the charger to the positive terminal of the battery, then press the charging button to start charging. Note that the ignition switch should not be turned on during the charging process. For a start-stop battery in a depleted state, the charging time is typically 8 to 16 hours. Vehicles equipped with start-stop systems cannot use standard batteries; AGM batteries are required to meet the demands of the start-stop function. Start-stop batteries, also known as maintenance-free batteries, are generally available in two types: AGM and EFB. European or German cars usually use AGM batteries, while Japanese cars typically use EFB batteries.

What is the function of power windows?

Power windows function by allowing the driver or passengers to operate a switch that activates the circuit of the window lift motor. The motor generates power, which is transmitted through a series of mechanical transmissions to raise or lower the window glass as needed. Power windows refer to windows that can automatically raise or lower the glass using power. The power window system mainly consists of a lift control switch, motor, lift mechanism, relay, etc. The motor typically uses a bidirectional permanent magnet motor, which can rotate in both directions by controlling the current direction to achieve the window lifting and lowering function. There is usually a window lock switch on the window, and once it is turned off, the power window switch will no longer function.
