The solutions for a Chevrolet car that won't start are: 1. Check if the battery is low on charge and recharge it; 2. Repair or replace a damaged fuel pump promptly; 3. Check if there is sufficient fuel and add more if needed; 4. Inspect the engine sensors for damage; 5. Replace spark plugs and ignition coils; 6. Use a heating rod to warm up the engine oil. Chevrolet models include the Chevrolet Equinox, Chevrolet Cavalier, Chevrolet Orlando, Chevrolet Trailblazer, Chevrolet Cruze, etc. Taking the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of length 4646mm, width 1843mm, height 1684mm, and a wheelbase of 2725mm.

What is the solution for Odyssey idle vibration?

Odyssey vibration causes and solutions are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car vibration is dirty throttle or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors. When there's too much carbon inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by cold start injectors gets largely absorbed by carbon deposits, resulting in over-lean mixture during cold starts and making ignition difficult. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check if the idle speed motor has carbon buildup that needs cleaning. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or bad spark plug firing can also cause such faults. The solution is to check if spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary.

What is the optimal remaining battery level for charging new energy vehicles?

According to Tesla's battery curve analysis, maintaining a charge/discharge range between 25%-75% is considered relatively reasonable. Of course, to alleviate range anxiety, most users opt for a full charge when charging time permits. However, during routine charging, it's advisable to maintain a certain battery level before initiating the charging process. Below are some key points regarding charging practices for new energy vehicles: 1. Market research data from a leading domestic consulting firm indicates that most users choose to recharge only when their battery level drops below 20%, which aligns with real-world usage scenarios. 2. Completely depleting the battery is detrimental to its health. Therefore, it's recommended to initiate charging when approximately 15% of the battery remains, as excessively low battery levels can also be harmful.

What is the fuel consumption of the BYD S7 2.0?

There are a total of 23 models of the BYD S7 currently on sale. Models equipped with the 2.0T 205 horsepower L4 engine, such as the BYD S7 2017 2.0T Automatic Luxury, BYD S7 2017 2.0T Automatic Honor, BYD S7 2017 2.0T Automatic Premium, BYD S7 2017 2.0T Automatic Flagship, BYD S7 2015 2.0T Automatic Premium, and BYD S7 2015 2.0T Automatic Luxury, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.6L per 100 km. Models like the BYD S7 2015 2.0T Upgraded Automatic Premium, also equipped with the 2.0T 205 horsepower L4 engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.8L per 100 km. Different models have different fuel tank capacities, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with the 2.0T 205 horsepower L4 engine have a fuel tank capacity of 72L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 72/8.6*100=837 km. Models equipped with the 2.0T 205 horsepower L4 engine have a fuel tank capacity of 72L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 72/8.8*100=818 km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures mean the engine block is colder, and gasoline injected during cold starts does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

Why Won't the Car Start After Rain?

The reason the car won't start after rain is due to the engine spark plugs getting wet. Below are specific details about why the car won't start after rain: 1. Solution: Remove the spark plugs, disconnect the fuel injector connector, start the engine to drain any water in the cylinders, replace the engine oil, then reinstall the spark plugs and fuel injector connector, and start the engine. Note that if the car won't start on a rainy day, avoid repeatedly trying to start it, as this can easily damage the valves. 2. Prevention Methods: Check if the spark plugs are leaking electricity, inspect whether the spark plug caps are cracked or loose, examine if the connection between the filter and carburetor is broken, check if the valves are too tight, verify if the ignition system is functioning properly, and avoid driving the car into deep water during rainy days to prevent water from entering the engine.

Is it okay to charge a new energy vehicle overnight?

If the battery and charger are functioning normally, overnight charging is acceptable. Once the battery is fully charged, the charger will automatically switch to trickle charging mode (indicated by a green light). Under these circumstances, charging typically does not damage the battery. However, if the battery or charger has been used for an extended period and the charger fails to switch to the green light after full charge (remaining on red light), continued charging may cause the battery to swell or deform. In such cases, timed charging is recommended (remember to turn off the charger promptly). Below are precautions for charging new energy vehicles: 1. Charge when the battery indicator shows one-third remaining capacity. 2. Maintain a dry and tidy charging environment. Avoid wrapping the charger in plastic bags or bottles as poor ventilation may cause overheating and damage.
