Here are detailed explanations regarding the reasons why diesel electronic injection fails to start: Battery Depletion: Battery depletion can cause the car to fail to start. There are many reasons for car battery depletion, such as lack of water in the battery, battery malfunction, or prolonged use of the air conditioning. Ignition System Failure: The function of the car ignition system is to provide high-voltage electricity to the spark plugs at the right time to ensure the normal operation of the car. If the car fails to start and the battery is ruled out as the cause, then the issue lies with the car's ignition system. Poor connections in the low-voltage circuit or leakage in the high-voltage wires can cause ignition system failure, affecting the car and making it difficult to start. Low Temperature: In winter, cold weather often causes cars to fail to start. This is because, in low-temperature environments, the viscosity and rotation speed of the car's engine oil decrease, leading to reduced ignition energy from the battery and decreased molecular activity. As a result, flammable gases cannot form, making it difficult to start the car.

I find that diesel common rail vehicles often have trouble starting in winter. First, check the battery—if it's old or the terminals are corroded, you might not even get a spark. Then, look at the starting system; a faulty starter motor or relay might only produce a clicking sound without starting. Next is the fuel system—if the high-pressure fuel pump lacks pressure, the injectors are clogged, or the fuel filter is too dirty, fuel won't get in and ignition won't happen. Sensor failures, especially the crankshaft position sensor, can also cause the ECU to malfunction without receiving signals. Additionally, glow plugs may fail in low temperatures, making the car prone to stalling in cold weather. I recommend regular maintenance of these components, such as replacing the fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers, to save a lot of trouble.

What is the engine RPM when driving on the highway?

When driving on the highway, the engine RPM is between 2500-3200. Below is an introduction to RPM-related information: Vehicle speed and RPM gear comparison: Starting in first gear, the engine RPM is around 1000-1500; in second gear, the engine RPM is around 1500-2000; in third gear, the engine RPM is around 1500-2000; in fourth gear, the engine RPM is around 1500-2000; in fifth gear, the engine RPM is around 1500-3000. Factors affecting RPM: The engine RPM mainly depends on the transmission ratio. The larger the transmission ratio, the higher the RPM, which has little to do with the engine displacement and is not related to quality. However, generally, small-displacement engines have smaller power, so the transmission ratio needs to be larger. Therefore, at high speeds, the RPM of small-displacement engines is higher than that of large-displacement engines, but this is not a fixed situation.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Be Misaligned While Driving?

Steering wheel misalignment while driving is related to wheel alignment and dynamic balancing. Here are the solutions: Perform Wheel Alignment: After every 20,000 kilometers, wear and tear on chassis components can cause changes in alignment angles, ultimately leading to the car pulling to one side or the steering wheel being misaligned. Wheel alignment can effectively resolve these issues. Perform Wheel Dynamic Balancing: A car's wheel is an assembly of the tire and the rim. However, due to manufacturing variances, the mass distribution of this assembly may not be perfectly uniform. When the wheel rotates at high speeds, it can create a state of dynamic imbalance, resulting in wheel wobbling and steering wheel vibration while driving. To prevent or eliminate this phenomenon, weights are added to correct the balance of the wheel's edges. This correction process is commonly known as dynamic balancing.

How many days does it take to receive a notification for a traffic violation?

You can receive a notification for a traffic violation within 3-7 working days. Below are the methods to check for traffic violations and how vehicle owners can handle them: Methods to check for traffic violations: Visit the office halls of traffic police teams in various districts and counties to inquire via touch-screen terminals. Check on the external service websites of the local public security bureau's traffic management department. Call the information hotline for inquiries. Send a text message from your mobile phone to check for violations. Use a mobile app to check for traffic violation information. How vehicle owners can handle traffic violations: Currently, when handling traffic violations, vehicle owners need to bring their driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to any traffic police team or administrative service center in the area where the violation occurred or where the vehicle is registered. If the violation does not involve point deductions, you can directly pay the fine at an ICBC self-service payment machine or online. However, if points are deducted, you must first confirm the violation and the point deduction at the traffic police team before paying the fine.

Can Run-Flat Tires Be Used After Repair?

Run-flat tires can be used after repairing common tread punctures. However, they cannot be repaired if the puncture is too large. Below is an introduction to tire repair: Cases where run-flat tires cannot be repaired: Puncture is too large, exceeding 4.2 mm; puncture is located on the sidewall and cannot be repaired; tire is punctured and leaks air, causing damage while driving and cannot be repaired; tire has been repaired twice and cannot be repaired again. Tire repair methods: A mushroom-shaped rubber patch is used, where the mushroom stem is placed on the outside of the leaking tire, and the exposed part is trimmed off. Special adhesive is used to bond the inside, with the mushroom stem acting as an external reinforcement and the mushroom cap serving as an internal reinforcement. This method is effective and more durable.

What Are the Reasons for a Car Air Conditioner Not Cooling?

Car air conditioner not cooling is due to insufficient or too little refrigerant, excessive refrigerant, or a loose drive belt of the car air conditioner compressor. Specific reasons are as follows: Insufficient or too little refrigerant: A common reason for a car air conditioner not cooling is insufficient or too little refrigerant, which is likely caused by minor leaks. Excessive refrigerant: Too much refrigerant can also cause the air conditioner not to cool. The proportion of refrigerant in the air conditioning system has specific requirements. If the proportion is too high, it can affect heat dissipation. Similarly, adding too much cooling oil during maintenance can also reduce the heat dissipation of the refrigeration system. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioner compressor: Car cooling relies on refrigerant, and refrigerant transmission depends on the air conditioner compressor. The drive belt is an important moving part that drives the compressor. If the drive belt is loose, the compressor may slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency, decreased compressor speed, and reduced delivery of compressed refrigerant, resulting in the car air conditioner not cooling.

What kind of water is used for car films?

Car films use clean, ordinary water to prevent bubbling. Below are the selection criteria for car films and precautions for car film installation: Selection criteria for car films: It is recommended to avoid films with excessively low light transmittance. For window films, especially those for the front side windows, a light transmittance of 35% or higher is more suitable. This ensures that the side window films do not require cutouts and do not obstruct visibility. At night, they can also reduce the intense glare from headlights of vehicles behind reflecting in the rearview mirror, making it more comfortable for the eyes. Additionally, they ensure good visibility during rainy nights, reversing, or turning. Precautions for car film installation: Dust is the biggest enemy of film installation. If dust particles or fine dirt get trapped between the film and the glass during installation, it can significantly affect the quality and appearance of the film. Therefore, it is essential to choose a car service provider with a sealed workshop.
