Here are the reasons why the key of a manual transmission car cannot be pulled out: The key cannot be turned after insertion: This is usually because after parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel was accidentally turned left or right, or the wheels were not aligned properly when parking. The force applied causes the steering wheel to rotate, triggering the steering wheel's self-locking function. You can gently turn the key with your right hand while simultaneously moving the steering wheel left and right with your left hand, and the key will then turn. Ignition switch failure: This can cause the car key to not be pulled out. In this case, the ignition switch needs to be replaced. The key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine: The reason for this is that the gear is in the P position and does not touch the electronic sensor, or there are objects such as coins in the gear slot blocking it from returning to position. The car owner should check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot, remove them, start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to position, and then the key can be pulled out.

Should Refrigerant Be Added to the Low-Pressure Pipe or High-Pressure Pipe in a Car's Air Conditioning System?

"Refrigerant can be added to either the high-pressure pipe or the low-pressure pipe in a car's air conditioning system. There are two methods for adding refrigerant to a car's air conditioning: one is high-pressure side charging, which is suitable for charging after leak detection and vacuuming. Note that this method must not involve starting the compressor, and the engine must be off, with the refrigerant canister required to be inverted. The other method is low-pressure side charging, where gas is added. This method is characterized by a slower charging speed and is typically used for supplementing refrigerant. Since the high-pressure pipe is too dangerous, refrigerant is generally added from the low-pressure pipe, and the pressure must be monitored in real-time to avoid excessive pressure, which can easily damage the air conditioning system. Refrigerant can also be added to the high-pressure side when the engine is static. However, it is difficult to add refrigerant to the high-pressure side when the engine is running, so it is recommended to add refrigerant from the low-pressure side. Method and steps for adding refrigerant to the air conditioning system: Connect the refrigerant cylinder, repair gauge, and charging port with a charging hose, and remove the air from the hose. Start the compressor and use the pressure difference between the cylinder and the refrigeration system to charge refrigerant gas (if the refrigeration system has been pre-vacuumed, charge refrigerant gas first when the system is off. When the pressure gauge pointer no longer rises, start the machine to continue charging. Observe the changes in the pressure gauge pointer during the charging process. Maintain the pressure gauge pointer within the standard range marked on the air conditioning system by intermittently charging refrigerant. After running for a while, the air conditioner should exhibit the aforementioned normal operating state. After shutting down, use detergent to check all potential leak points."

Reasons for Car Vibration?

Some vibrations are not caused by faults, such as idle vibration due to carbon buildup in the throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. However, some vibrations are caused by mechanical component failures. First scenario: Damage to the inner CV joint. The inner and outer CV joints on the driveshaft connect the differential to the wheels. Damage to the inner CV joint can cause abnormal noises and vibrations. A loose inner CV joint with play can damage the steering ball joint and tie rod bushings. Second scenario: Broken engine mount bushings. The engine has four mounts connecting it to the frame or chassis, commonly called engine mounts, which are made of rubber. Over time, these can harden, crack, or break. Third scenario: Faulty coolant temperature sensor. If the coolant temperature sensor fails, the car's ECU will detect that the signal from the sensor is unreliable. To protect the engine, the ECU will limit engine torque, resulting in symptoms such as inability to rev up, unstable idle, and vibration. Fourth scenario: Faulty throttle position sensor. A faulty throttle position sensor prevents the ECU from identifying the throttle opening, making it unable to determine the engine's operating condition. This directly leads to unstable idle and intermittent vibration. Fifth scenario: Faulty spark plugs. Faulty spark plugs can cause the engine to misfire. Normally, four cylinders working properly maintain relative balance. If one cylinder misfires, the balance is disrupted, leading to noticeable body vibration and symptoms like poor acceleration. Sixth scenario: Faulty ignition coil. If the ignition coil fails to produce high voltage, it can cause the same "misfire" symptoms as faulty spark plugs, resulting in poor performance and vibration. Seventh scenario: Shock absorber issues. Leaking shock absorbers, worn top mounts, or fatigued suspension springs directly affect comfort and can cause the car to pull to one side or vibrate. Eighth scenario: Idle air control valve failure. The idle air control valve is responsible for maintaining idle speed by adjusting it based on engine load. If it fails, it can directly cause unstable idle and vibration.

In what year was the automobile invented?

The world's first true automobile was an internal combustion engine vehicle manufactured by Brown in England in 1826. It received Patent No. 5350 on April 25 of that year. This two-cylinder vehicle performed exceptionally well, capable of driving on flat roads and even traversing mountains. In May 1926, it successfully climbed Hunter's Hill in Blackheath, Kent, England. History of automobile development: In the 15th century, scientist Leonardo da Vinci envisioned a self-propelled vehicle and left behind a design drawing. This was a vehicle powered by a spring mechanism. In 1649, German clockmaker Hans Hautsch attempted to build one based on the design, achieving a speed of 1.5 km/h. Due to military needs, Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot (1725–1804), a captain of artillery in the French army under Louis XIV, was tasked with developing a powered vehicle to tow cannons. In 1769, he completed the first vehicle at the Paris Arsenal, but it failed to move. In May 1771, he built a larger second vehicle, capable of seating four people and reaching speeds of 9.5 km/h. This became the first vehicle in history to use steam power instead of wind, animal power, or other external forces. It was a wooden three-wheeled vehicle, measuring 7.2 meters long and 2.3 meters wide. Because the boiler and two cylinders were mounted on the front and top of the front wheels, which shook during movement, the vehicle was extremely unstable to drive. Additionally, it lacked a condenser, requiring stops every 15 minutes to add water, which was very inconvenient. The absence of brakes made it highly dangerous, and during one test run, it crashed into a city wall, causing an accident. In 1789, Napoleon I ordered improvements to the vehicle, and in 1801, it was sent to the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris for preservation. The world's first internal combustion engine automobile was successfully developed by German Karl Benz (1844–1929) in October 1885, establishing the fundamental design principles for automobiles that remain influential even today.

How Many Years After a Car is Driven Does It Become a Yellow Label Vehicle?

"Whether a vehicle is a green label or yellow label is not determined by the number of years it has been used, but rather by the speed at which the city's exhaust emission standards are phased out. Higher exhaust emission requirements lead to faster phase-outs, meaning the time it takes for a vehicle to change from a green label to a yellow label is shorter. Diesel vehicles, like gasoline vehicles, are classified as green or yellow labels based on their exhaust emissions. New vehicles that meet the exhaust emission standards are issued green labels, indicating they comply with environmental requirements. New cars (passenger vehicles) require biennial inspections for the first 6 years, followed by annual inspections thereafter. Yellow label vehicles are those that no longer meet the current exhaust emission standards but are still allowed on the road. Yellow label vehicles require inspections every six months. Yellow label vehicles refer to gasoline vehicles with emission levels below the National I standard and diesel vehicles below the National III standard. The specific classification criteria are as follows: Micro and small passenger vehicles and mini trucks registered before July 1, 2000, with gasoline or gas as fuel. Light trucks registered before October 1, 2001, with gasoline or gas as fuel. Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and large and medium-sized passenger vehicles registered before July 1, 2003, with gasoline as fuel. Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and large and medium-sized passenger vehicles registered before September 1, 2001, with gas as fuel. Micro and small passenger vehicles registered before July 1, 2008, with diesel as fuel. Micro and light-duty trucks registered before July 1, 2009, with diesel as fuel. Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and large and medium-sized passenger vehicles registered before July 1, 2008, with diesel as fuel."
