Reasons why a car cannot start after being parked: 1. The water temperature sensor is faulty, in which case you can only find a nearby repair shop to solve the problem; 2. The fuel pump has a problem, you can try tapping the fuel tank to start, if that doesn't work, you still need to find a mechanic; 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle valve, you can try pressing the accelerator slightly while starting; 4. The engine is still in a cold state, especially for cars that have been parked for a long time, the operating parameters of the engine are completely different from the hot state of the previous day, and various sensors need to be readjusted. If you insert the key and start immediately, the operating parameters of the engine will be abnormal initial data, resulting in startup failure or multiple startup failures.

Will points be deducted if the license plate anti-theft cap is not installed?

No points will be deducted. As long as all eight screws are installed on both the front and rear plates, traffic police will not deduct points, and the vehicle will pass the annual inspection smoothly. Points deduction related to license plate installation mainly occurs due to missing screws or failure to install them as required. If caught, the penalty will be for "failing to display the motor vehicle license plate as required," with a fine of 200 yuan imposed by the traffic management department, and in severe cases, 12 points may be deducted. More details are as follows: 1. Difficulty in installing the license plate anti-theft cap: There are two main reasons why the anti-theft cap may not fit. The first is that the base of the anti-theft cap was not screwed into the bolt before installation. If the base is not screwed in, the cap cannot be installed. The other reason is that the spring inside the cap is too protruding, preventing it from connecting with the base during installation. In this case, a small flathead screwdriver can be used to press the spring inward before installation. A useful tip for installing the anti-theft cap is to try screwing it into the base from left to right. 2. Function of the nuts: The nuts sent with the license plate are generally used with screws to secure them. However, most vehicle models come with nuts pre-installed from the factory, so these additional nuts may not be needed. Besides installing screws and nuts, anti-theft nuts should also be installed. These anti-theft nuts are sent along with the license plate. After installing the screws, the anti-theft nuts can be attached, making it impossible to remove the license plate without cutting the screws, thus achieving an anti-theft effect.
