Crankshaft pulley damage has a significant impact on the vehicle. The car's power performance will be very poor, and the engine may produce unusual sounds when idling or accelerating. Below is a detailed introduction to the crankshaft pulley: 1. The car pulley is mainly installed on the car engine crankshaft to drive the camshaft, water pump, generator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and other components. 2. The function of the pulley: It drives the water pump, generator, and air conditioning compressor to work. The water pump ensures the normal water circulation of the engine for cooling purposes. The generator charges the battery to ensure the normal operation of various electrical circuits in the car. The air conditioning pump, also known as the compressor, is used in the air conditioning system. 3. Advantages of pulley drive: The pulley drive can mitigate load impacts; it operates smoothly with low noise and vibration. The structure of the pulley drive is simple and easy to adjust. The manufacturing and installation precision of the pulley drive is not as strict as that of meshing drives. The pulley drive has an overload protection function. The center distance between the two shafts in the pulley drive can be adjusted over a wide range.

What to Do When the Engine Flashes and Shakes During Acceleration?

Check the water temperature gauge and the engine oil pressure warning light. If the water temperature gauge and the engine oil pressure warning light are not activated, the car can still be driven to the repair station for inspection. If the water temperature is too high or the engine oil pressure warning light comes on, pull over immediately and call the repair station for assistance. You can continue driving, but be sure to control the speed, and then replace the oxygen sensor.

How to Check if the Car Body is Parallel When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When you see the intersection point of the left line and the bottom line of the garage in the left rearview mirror, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Adjust the car body by observing both side mirrors and reverse into the garage. Look at the left rearview mirror, and stop when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the front line of the garage. The reversing process is then completed.

How to adjust the valve clearance of a 4JB1 engine?

Rotate the flywheel until the two rocker arms of the cylinder to be adjusted open and then just close the valve, with the two rocker arms parallel. Turn the flywheel slightly in its original direction (to prevent the cam from pushing the push rod) to adjust the valve clearance, because the valve opens once every two rotations of the flywheel, and the cam will not push the push rod.

How to Deal with Windshield Oil Film?

Using an eraser to rub the surface of the car glass can also remove the oil film, but this method is relatively troublesome and time-consuming. When cleaning, it is best to use a towel or sponge to scrub, as this allows the particles in the toothpaste to better grind the glass surface and remove the oil film. You can purchase a specialized oil film cleaner, spray it on the glass, and scrub with a sponge.

Connect one end of the two small red-headed thin wires to the positive pole of the car light and the other end to the reverse signal detection line on the navigation system. Portable GPS devices do not need to connect this.
