It may be caused by circuit faults or sensor malfunctions, such as issues with the throttle position sensor or air flow sensor. Sudden stalling while driving generally has the following causes: 1. Ignition system: For example, weak spark plug ignition capability. 2. Short circuit in low-voltage lines causing stalling: In this case, the stalling is intermittent, and the low-voltage lines need to be checked. 3. Component failure: This issue is usually related to capacitors or electronic ignition modules. The car can start initially but stalls after a while, then can restart but stalls again. 4. Fuel supply: Remove the air filter and press the accelerator pedal. If gasoline sprays from the carburetor accelerator nozzle, the fuel system is working normally; otherwise, the fuel supply is abnormal. 5. Circuit fault: Pull out the central high-voltage wire and start the engine with the starter. If there is no spark from the central high-voltage wire, the ignition circuit system is faulty. 6. Carbon buildup: Cars driven frequently in urban areas are prone to carbon buildup in areas like the throttle. Occasionally driving at high speeds can help clean carbon deposits by flushing them at high RPMs, cleaning the fuel injectors, throttle, etc.

What causes the ACC malfunction in the Boyue?

When the Geely Boyue ACC detects radar obstruction, radar malfunction, or faults in related systems (such as ESC), the cruise status indicator on the dashboard turns orange, and a message indicating radar obstruction or adaptive cruise system malfunction appears on the dashboard. Information about ACC: 1. How ACC works: When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to apply appropriate braking to the wheels and reduce engine output power, ensuring the vehicle maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. When to use ACC: The adaptive cruise control system typically operates when the vehicle speed is above 25 km/h. When the speed drops below 25 km/h, manual control by the driver is required. Through system software upgrades, the adaptive cruise control system can achieve a 'stop/start' function to handle frequent stops and starts in urban driving conditions.

What is the ignition method of the Porsche Cayenne?

Porsche Cayenne adopts a twist-type ignition device, with the knob located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. The ignition steps for the Porsche Cayenne are similar to those of traditional cars: press the brake pedal and turn the start knob clockwise. The rotary knob ignition device on the left side of the steering wheel is a historical inheritance of Porsche's sports car personality. More details are as follows: 1. The advancement of automotive technology often involves repeated experimentation, and the Cayenne is a prime example. Initially, the traditional key insertion ignition method was considered too basic, leading to the invention of push-button start. Later, push-button start was deemed insufficiently "sporty," so the button was transformed into a "knob" resembling a key. 2. For sports cars, the sensation of hearing the engine roar when turning the key to ignite is truly different, as push-button start lacks the "sporty feel." It can be seen as a return to simplicity or a classic inheritance. Placing the ignition knob on the left side of the steering wheel in the Cayenne is a historical inheritance of the Porsche family's distinctive personality.

What are the reasons why the Peugeot 307 cannot start?

Here are the reasons why the Mercedes protection system fails to start: 1. First, it may be a circuit or electronic fault: Circuit faults include: blown fuse, open circuit in the high-voltage coil, open circuit in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wire, leaking distributor rotor, and damaged spark plug. Electronic faults mainly refer to the failure of the central computer control board. 2. Then there may be a fuel system fault: Fuel system faults causing the engine to stall often come with symptoms such as weak engine power and a soft accelerator pedal. Possible locations of fuel system faults include: fuel pump failure, blocked fuel line, clogged fuel filter, carburetor failure, and damaged injector. Sometimes, the fuel tank may be empty without the owner's knowledge. 3. Finally, it could also be a mechanical fault: Common mechanical faults include: broken timing belt (chain), cylinder leakage with no pressure, etc.

Where is the radiator drain port on the Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle's radiator is not equipped with a dedicated drain port. To drain the vehicle's coolant, you need to disconnect the hose connecting the radiator to the engine. Here is relevant information about the Buick Excelle: 1. Introduction: The Buick Excelle is based on GM's global platform. Its prototype was GM's newly developed global mid-size sedan, primarily designed and developed by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GMDAT). On April 21, 2003, SAIC-GM launched this new mid-size car, marketed as the "mid-range Buick" Excelle. SAIC-GM officially introduced the "Buick Excelle" based on an all-new product platform, marking its entry into the promising mid-size car market. 2. Powertrain: The new vehicle is equipped with a next-generation 1.3L Ecotec dual-injection engine paired with a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission, delivering maximum power of 79kW and maximum torque of 133Nm, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 4.6L per 100km.

Where are the drainage outlets of the Volkswagen Sagitar located?

Volkswagen Sagitar has multiple drainage hole locations. The following are the distribution positions of the drainage holes in the Volkswagen Sagitar: 1. Fuel tank vent hole: Open the fuel filler flap, and you can see the drainage hole at the bottom inside the fuel tank cover. 2. Sunroof drainage holes: There is one at each of the four corners of the sunroof. When you open the sunroof, you can easily see four small holes, each connected to a hose leading to the front and rear of the car. 3. Door panel drainage holes: Located at the lower part of the door panel, there are usually 1 to 2 drainage holes. 4. Trunk drainage hole: Generally located under the spare tire in the trunk. 5. Engine compartment drainage hole: Located at the rear of the engine compartment, under the lower edge of the windshield, near the air conditioning intake. 6. Air conditioning drainage hole: Located under the chassis.

What are the causes of Buick suspension system failure?

Buick suspension system failure may be caused by aging airbags, oil leakage in the mechanism, issues with the distribution valve, or problems with the shock absorber air pump. Below is relevant information about the suspension system: 1. Introduction: Air suspension generally refers to the air suspension system. Typically, vehicles equipped with adjustable air suspension have ground clearance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and then controls the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby lowering or raising the chassis ground clearance to enhance high-speed stability or off-road capability. 2. Variable stiffness of air suspension: Variable stiffness means that compared to leaf springs or coil springs, air springs, controlled by height valves, exhibit stiffness characteristics that vary with load. A direct experience is that when riding in a large truck with leaf springs while empty, it feels like the vehicle bounces at a high frequency on the road. If air springs are used, whether empty or fully loaded, the ride feels almost the same.
