The specific symptoms of a damaged canister purge solenoid valve are difficulty in engine starting and fuel vapor leakage. The related causes are introduced as follows: Difficulty in engine starting, canister purge solenoid valve always open: Since the canister purge solenoid valve is always in the open state, the air in the intake pipe will be filled with fuel vapor. When the engine starts, the excessively rich combustible mixture will cause difficulty in engine starting or even stalling. Fuel vapor leakage, canister purge solenoid valve always closed: Since the canister purge solenoid valve is always in the closed state, the fuel vapor adsorbed and stored in the canister cannot be discharged, resulting in increased pressure in the fuel tank and ultimately causing fuel vapor to leak from the pressure relief valve of the fuel tank cap.

Will points be deducted if the vehicle body crosses the line during curve driving?

No points will be deducted if the wheels do not press against the solid line during curve driving. Points are deducted for the vehicle body crossing the line during reverse parking and parallel parking. For curve driving, it usually starts with a left turn. When entering the curve, the vehicle should stay as close as possible to the right side of the lane. During curve driving, 100 points will be deducted if the wheels press against the road edge line or if the vehicle stops for more than 2 seconds. Common mistakes in curve driving: 1. Pressing the line: (1) If the vehicle body is too close to the turning point during a turn, it may cause the lane line to be pressed or the vehicle body to cross the line (especially the rearview mirror area is most prone to crossing the line); (2) During driving, incorrect observation of reference points or excessive speed may lead to wrong turning timing, possibly causing the vehicle to exit the curve lane directly; (3) When exiting the S-curve, if the steering wheel is straightened too early before the rear wheels have completely turned, the rear wheels may press the line. 2. Midway stopping: Midway stopping is usually caused by improper speed control, pressing the clutch too low, or excessively slow speed. Especially during turns, when the friction between the wheels and the ground increases, insufficient clutch release may lead to inadequate power.

Are there tire repair services at highway rest areas?

Some highway rest areas offer vehicle repair and tire patching services, while others only provide fuel refueling. Mushroom plug tire repair: Provides effective and long-lasting repair, but it is more expensive, time-consuming, and mainly suitable for larger punctures. Hot patch tire repair: The repair is durable, but it requires precise heating temperature and time control, which may damage the tire structure. The cost varies significantly depending on the tire size. Rubber strip tire repair: No need to remove the tire or perform wheel balancing, making it quick and convenient, with relatively low cost. However, it requires enlarging the puncture, which may lead to air leakage over time. This method is mainly suitable for small, clearly identifiable punctures. Tire repair precautions: After patching, when reinstalling the tire and inflating it, quickly inflate both sides of the tire and seal it. Then, install the valve core and inflate to the specified pressure before tightening the valve core. Finally, check for leaks before use. If the tire sidewall has a puncture larger than a thumbnail or the tread is severely damaged by objects like steel bars, it is safer to replace the tire directly.

Will Crystal Coating Damage Car Paint?

Crystal coating may or may not damage car paint depending on the situation: For vehicles with scratches, the polishing step required during crystal coating application can harm the paint; For new cars or scratch-free vehicles, the mirror restoration process involved in crystal coating application is harmless to the paint. Crystal coating provides reliable paint sealing technology that offers efficient and long-lasting protection for car paint, preventing environmental factors from affecting the paint color. Automotive paint crystal coating is a concept developed to differentiate from waxing and glazing treatments. The fundamental requirement of crystal coating is that it uses SiO2 inorganic materials which form a molecular-level nanostructure on the applied surface. Through the action of high molecular polymers, it creates a protective layer with functions including UV resistance, oil resistance, low surface energy, and hydrophobicity, thereby safeguarding the paint surface.

What Causes White Smoke from the Tailpipe?

The reasons for white smoke from the tailpipe are: 1. The engine is burning coolant, which may be due to cracks in the cylinder block or cylinder head gasket. If this occurs, the cylinder block and gasket should be inspected. If cracks are found in the cylinder block, it should be replaced. 2. The engine block temperature is too low. When the engine warms up, the white smoke will gradually disappear, which is normal. Coolant needs to be replaced regularly. If not changed for a long time, the coolant's freezing point may rise and boiling point may drop. Failure to replace the coolant regularly can affect the engine's normal operation.
