The reasons why a car cannot start after being left unused for a long time are: 1. The carburetor has no fuel; 2. The engine lacks lubrication from engine oil, causing dry friction in components like pistons and crankshafts; 3. The battery is dead; 4. The air-fuel mixture ratio is abnormal; 5. The power supply voltage of the ignition system is unstable; 6. The throttle valve, intake valve, or idle speed motor is too dirty. Maintenance methods for a car left unused for a long time: 1. If the car is left unused for a long time, it needs to be started every one or two weeks to prevent engine failure; 2. When the car is left unused for a long time, clean the exterior and interior in advance, as dirt on the car paint that is not cleaned for a long time will damage the paint; 3. Keep the battery fully charged, and regularly inspect and maintain the car battery to prevent battery depletion.

Why is the front windshield blurry?

Front windshield blurriness occurs due to temperature differences between the inside and outside of the vehicle, leading to fogging, which makes it appear blurry. Below are the functions of a car's air conditioning system: Temperature regulation: This is the primary function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the temperature inside the cabin; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters, most vehicles utilize residual heat for warming. Humidity regulation: Humidity significantly affects passenger comfort. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Standard car air conditioning systems do not have the capability to regulate cabin humidity; this can only be achieved by using ventilation systems or the advanced integrated heating and cooling systems found in luxury vehicles.

What is the reason for the F1 light on a motorcycle?

Motorcycle F1 light on is caused by fuel injection or ignition system failure. Here are the detailed reasons for the F1 light on a motorcycle: 1. Definition: F1 stands for Electronic Fuel Injection, simply referred to as EFI. The core of the EFI system is the ECU, which is like the brain of the motorcycle. Sensors on the main components of the motorcycle collect information and send it to the ECU for processing. If any sensor fails, the relevant sensor will report an error, generating a fault code in the ECU. 2. Solution: It is necessary to go to the after-sales service to read the fault code based on the flashing frequency of the light to determine the fault content, and then repair accordingly.

What is the 140-yuan additive in Honda maintenance?

Oil additives are directly added into the engine to prevent oil deposits. 1. Introduction: It is an additive that can completely clean out old engine oil during an oil change. Used engine oil contains a large amount of impurities and metal shavings, which are difficult to remove completely without additives. 2. Detailed explanation: Honda's direct injection engines indeed require the use of fuel additives every 10,000 kilometers to clean the fuel injectors. If not added regularly, fuel injector clogging may occur, leading to increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and excessive exhaust emissions. Therefore, regular use of fuel additives is essential.

What are the reasons for the car window not rolling down?

The car window may not roll down due to the following three reasons: 1. Insufficient lubrication in the door's internal window regulator, causing the window lift motor to enter an overheating protection state. 2. A car circuit malfunction, such as a disconnected car battery or the window control circuit being disconnected during maintenance. In this case, simply resetting the window system should resolve the issue. 3. Mechanical failure of the window, often caused by excessive dust in the window glass track, increasing resistance and hindering the window regulator from functioning properly. For this issue, it is necessary to visit a professional auto repair shop for cleaning. If the window still does not roll up or down after cleaning, it indicates that the vehicle's window regulator is damaged and requires replacement.
