The symptoms of low fuel pressure in a car are: 1. Insufficient driving power; 2. Sudden stalling; 3. Fuel pump failure. The normal fuel pressure value is between 300 to 350kpa. The reasons for insufficient fuel pressure include: 1. Poor injector sealing; 2. Damaged fuel pressure regulator; 3. Clogged fuel inlet filter; 4. Poor contact in the fuel pump circuit. The method to test fuel pressure is: 1. Turn on the ignition switch without starting the vehicle; 2. Remove the fuel pump relay and use a dedicated jumper wire to connect the fuel pump circuit; 3. After starting the vehicle, connect the fuel pressure gauge to check the engine's fuel pressure value.

Last time I was driving, I noticed the car was particularly hard to start—it took several attempts to get it going. It felt like the fuel pressure was low, which was really annoying. During acceleration, the car was sluggish, with a delayed response when pressing the gas pedal, as if it was dragging something. Additionally, the engine would shake at idle, almost like it was shivering. In severe cases, the car might suddenly stall while driving, and the engine warning light on the dashboard could come on. This isn't just a power issue—low fuel pressure leads to uneven fuel injection, causing the spark plugs to burn incompletely, and over time, it increases fuel consumption. It's important to check the fuel pump or filter for clogs right away.

Should a motorcycle get insurance or license plate first?

Motorcycles should get insurance first. The reasons for getting motorcycle insurance first are: If you don't purchase insurance, you'll be missing one of the core required documents. Therefore, buying insurance is a necessary step before registering a motorcycle. Motorcycle considerations: When licensing a motorcycle, you must purchase compulsory vehicle insurance before it can be driven on the road. Check for paint scratches - don't inspect them directly facing the paint, but rather view them from the side with light to detect any scratches. Inspect the engine, power steering pump, and brake booster components for any fluid leaks. After purchasing a new motorcycle, first buy insurance, then obtain a temporary license plate before driving it on the road. Use the purchase invoice to pay the purchase tax, then with the purchase tax receipt, vehicle invoice, certificate of conformity, insurance, and ID card, go to the DMV to register for a license plate.

How long does it take to bake car paint?

Original high-temperature baking paint for cars generally takes about half an hour per coat. Equipment for car paint baking: The paint spraying equipment at any brand's automotive after-sales service center typically includes branded baking booths, branded paint spray guns, etc. Automotive paint processes mainly consist of 4 layers: The first is the electrophoretic paint, whose main function is rust prevention. The second is the primer, which primarily resists UV rays and stone chipping, and provides a base for the color coat. The third is the color coat, whose main function is aesthetics. The fourth is the clear coat, which gives the car body a glossy finish and resists stone chipping. Main effects of over-baking: It damages the paint's flexibility, reduces its adhesion, making the paint brittle and diminishing its resistance to stone chipping. Otherwise, if the car body surface is hit or slightly scratched, the paint may crack or even peel off.

Is the clutch of Maxus G50 a dry dual-clutch or wet dual-clutch?

The clutch of the Maxus G50 model is a dry dual-clutch. The clutch mainly has three functions: Ensuring smooth car starting. There is significant inertia when the car moves from a standstill to forward motion, and the engine generates substantial torque resistance. Ensuring smooth gear shifting to prevent transmission overload. The car may shake when the clutch is released to a certain extent, requiring acceleration to start. Keeping the foot on the clutch for extended periods will shorten the clutch's lifespan. Precautions for clutch maintenance: The most important aspect of clutch maintenance is to avoid frequently placing the foot on the clutch pedal during daily use. When releasing the clutch, follow the principle of 'quick, pause, slow'. If the friction disc and pressure plate are contaminated with oil or rust, they should be disassembled to remove the oil or grease.
