Reasons for having power but failing to start the engine: 1. Insufficient fuel causing failure to start. It is recommended that drivers always pay attention to the fuel gauge while driving and refuel in time when approaching the warning level, rather than waiting until the tank is empty; 2. Incorrect gear position can also prevent the car from starting. Generally, the P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear is the correct position for starting an automatic transmission vehicle; 3. Fuel system malfunction, which may occur in components such as fuel pump failure, blocked fuel lines, clogged fuel filter, spark plug carbon buildup, or damaged fuel injectors. Having power in a car refers to the car battery having power, also known as a storage battery, which is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

How many kilometers should a major maintenance be performed?

Generally, a major maintenance is performed every 40,000 kilometers. However, this interval is not absolutely fixed, as some vehicle models may require it every 60,000 kilometers. The specific schedule should follow the maintenance manual (vehicle user manual) which provides detailed instructions. Additional information: 1. Major maintenance replacement items: Major maintenance builds upon minor maintenance. Routine minor maintenance only requires oil and oil filter replacement, while major maintenance involves more items. In addition to oil and oil filter, major maintenance typically includes the following: (1) Replace air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter. (2) Replace transmission fluid. (3) Replace brake fluid. (4) Replace coolant. (5) Replace spark plugs. 2. Major maintenance inspection items: Additionally, tires and brake pads require special attention. If severe wear is detected, immediate replacement is necessary. The replacement intervals for these components vary significantly due to various objective factors, but generally fall within the range of 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Another critical component is the timing belt, which is often overlooked. Check for signs of aging in the timing belt, and replace it promptly if any abnormalities are found.

Does the OEM bumper come painted?

OEM bumpers come painted. Below is some information about OEM bumpers: 1. Currently in the market, there are two types of bumpers: OEM and original vehicle. OEM bumpers are supplied directly by the manufacturer, while original vehicle bumpers are produced and supplied by aftermarket manufacturers, and some are even made by small workshops. 2. If it is an OEM bumper, the manufacturer has already painted it before leaving the factory. The advantage of OEM bumpers lies in their toughness, as they are unlikely to deform even under high pressure. 3. If the source is from aftermarket manufacturers or small workshops, the paint on the bumper is usually applied later (only containing primer).

What is the difference between China V and China VI when buying a car?

China V and China VI mainly have the following differences: 1. Different test cycles: China VI conducts a comprehensive assessment of vehicle emissions during cold starts, acceleration and deceleration, and high-speed high-load conditions, covering a wider range of engine operation and imposing higher requirements on vehicle emission control performance. 2. Different test procedure requirements: The mass requirements of test vehicles and road load settings directly affect the fuel consumption and emission performance of vehicles. The China VI standard adopts stricter test requirements, such as increasing the weight of test vehicles and requiring tire specifications to be consistent with mass-produced vehicles.

Which car currently uses a rotary engine?

Currently, only Mazda persists in developing twin-rotor engines. However, due to technical challenges and inherent drawbacks of rotary engines, Mazda has only equipped its mass-produced RX-8 with this powertrain. Here are some key points about rotary engines: 1. Rotary engines differ significantly from conventional engines in terms of production, assembly, and maintenance, resulting in high development costs. 2. With substantial improvements in power-to-weight ratio, emissions, and fuel efficiency of reciprocating piston engines, coupled with the automotive industry's mature expertise in piston engine technology versus limited knowledge of rotary engines, rotary engines haven't demonstrated clear advantages. Consequently, most automakers lack motivation to develop them, leaving Mazda as the sole exception.

What brand is Firelli tires?

Firelli is Pirelli. Pirelli tires are products of the Italian company Pirelli. Pirelli is one of the world's most renowned tire companies, founded in Italy in 1872, and is currently the fifth-largest tire manufacturer globally, with 24 factories worldwide. Tire maintenance precautions: 1. Tire pressure check: Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold, i.e., after the vehicle has been parked for three hours or driven less than 2 kilometers. Check at least once a month, including the spare tire, with the pressure value based on the parameters recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. If any abnormalities are found, thoroughly investigate the cause. Tire pressure is a crucial indicator of tire lifespan; exceeding the normal pressure by 20% reduces tire life by 10%, while being 30% below normal pressure reduces tire life by 52%. 2. Avoid foreign objects: While driving, especially at high speeds, even a small pebble can cause significant damage to the tires. Pay special attention during driving. Unexpected cuts, incorrect tread patterns, and contamination by gasoline or diesel can all degrade tire performance. 3. Wear level: Stop using the tire when it wears down to the wear indicator, which is generally at a remaining tread depth of 1.6 mm. 4. Wheel alignment, balancing, and tire rotation: Due to factors like different driving positions, front and rear tires wear unevenly. Rotating tires can achieve optimal wear and extend their lifespan. Generally, tires should be rotated every 8,000-10,000 kilometers, but if uneven wear is noticed, rotation should be done as soon as possible. 5. Prevent tire aging and damage: Since tires are rubber products, avoid contact with oil, acid, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals during driving, parking, or storage, as they can cause corrosion, deformation, or softening. When parking, it's advisable to park in the shade to prevent direct sunlight from causing premature aging and damage. Regular maintenance can include using tire wax for care.

What is the normal RPM range for an automatic transmission car?

For automatic transmission vehicles, it is generally reasonable to keep the engine RPM below 2000. Here are some explanations about RPM: 1. The engine RPM relates to the number of power cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the effective power varies with different RPM levels. 2. Therefore, when specifying the effective power of an engine, the corresponding RPM must also be indicated. 3. The effective power and corresponding RPM specified on the engine's product plate are referred to as the rated power and rated RPM, respectively. The operating condition of the engine at the rated power and RPM is called the rated condition.
