There are several reasons why a car cannot move after starting: 1. The throttle and engine oil have poor low-temperature fluidity; 2. The throttle is too dirty, with excessive carbon deposits in the intake tract, fuel injectors, and intake valves; 3. Poor fuel quality; 4. The fuel pump and fuel lines are excessively dirty; 5. Poor contact of the water temperature sensor; 6. The battery has not been replaced for too long; 7. The engine oil viscosity is too low. Solutions to the problem of a car not moving after starting: 1. Inspect and clean carbon deposits from the throttle, intake tract, fuel injectors, and intake valves; 2. Replace with high-quality fuel; 3. Check the battery's condition and replace it promptly if necessary; 4. Clean the fuel pump and fuel lines; 5. Check if the water temperature sensor has poor contact.

What are the types of car accelerator pedals?

There are several types of car accelerator pedals: 1. Hanging-type, which is the normal accelerator pedal; 2. Floor-mounted pedal. The floor-mounted pedal has its pivot point at the bottom, allowing the entire foot to rest on it. The pedal itself acts as a fulcrum, making it easier for the calf and ankle to control the pedal, thereby improving precision in pedal control and reducing fatigue. The accelerator pedal is a control mechanism for speeding up the car. For gasoline-powered vehicles, the accelerator pedal does not control the fuel amount but adjusts the engine's air intake by controlling the throttle opening, thereby regulating the engine's power output.

Where are the accelerator and brake pedals located in a car?

The accelerator is on the right, and the brake is on the left. Except for automatic transmission cars, manual transmission cars use the left foot to control the clutch, while the right foot controls the brake pedal and accelerator pedal, with their positions being standardized. The brake pedal is always larger than the accelerator pedal. Manual transmission cars have three pedals in total, arranged from left to right as the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. In manual transmission cars, the left foot can only step on the clutch pedal when shifting gears. During normal driving, the left foot should not rest on the pedals, as the brake and accelerator are controlled by the right foot. There are two reasons why the left foot should not rest on the pedals for extended periods: one is that it can cause foot fatigue, leading to unintentional pressing and easily resulting in sudden braking or acceleration.

Why is the car throttle response sluggish?

Car throttle response sluggishness is mainly caused by: 1. Fuel quality issues, using low-quality gasoline can lead to incomplete combustion in the engine, easily forming carbon deposits, and low fuel calorific value, which means the same amount of fuel injection cannot provide the same power as good fuel; 2. Blockage in the intake and exhaust systems, as the engine's intake and exhaust systems are like the human respiratory system, if they are obstructed or blocked, it will cause the engine to breathe poorly; 3. Abnormal throttle pedal signal, the accelerator pedal is usually equipped with two Hall position sensors, if one of them malfunctions, it can cause signal confusion, and if both sensors are damaged, it will lead to failure.

What to Do If the Wrong Gasoline Grade Is Added to the Vehicle?

Solution for adding the wrong gasoline grade: If you need to use a higher-grade gasoline but have added a lower-grade one, you can add a gasoline additive that increases the octane rating to the fuel tank. If you need to add a lower-grade gasoline but have added a higher-grade one, it will not affect the engine at all. Different grades of gasoline have different octane ratings, with higher-grade gasoline having higher octane ratings. Gasoline with higher octane ratings has better anti-knock properties. Some car engines require high-octane gasoline, and generally, turbocharged engines need to use 95-grade gasoline. Turbocharged engines have higher pressure and temperature inside the cylinders during operation. If lower-grade gasoline is added, it may cause knocking in the engine.

What is the principle of hybrid electric vehicles?

The principle of hybrid electric vehicles is to power the car by simultaneously utilizing the internal combustion engine and electric motor to drive the vehicle. This results in improvements in fuel economy, comfort, and acceleration. A hybrid electric vehicle is essentially a car that uses an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to the engine. Typically, when the car starts or moves at low speeds, the electric motor assists the engine to provide power, enabling faster acceleration and a smoother ride. Once the car reaches a certain speed, the electric motor switches to charging mode and stops providing power.

What are the symptoms of a faulty car fuel pump?

Symptoms of a faulty car fuel pump: 1. Weak acceleration with a jerking sensation when accelerating sharply; 2. A buzzing noise while driving; 3. The engine warning light turns on; 4. Engine shaking. Solutions: 1. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop or repair shop to check the cause of the fault; 2. If the pump body or pump core is damaged, immediate replacement is required. The car fuel pump is an important component of the electronic fuel injection system in a car engine, and its function is to supply fuel at a certain pressure to the engine's fuel injection system. The quality and working condition of the electric fuel pump directly affect the performance of the vehicle's fuel injection system, as well as the fuel injection quality, overall power, and fuel economy.
