If the car can restart after stalling, it is mostly due to fuel system or electrical component malfunctions. In such cases, it is advisable to drive cautiously and, for safety reasons, immediately visit a nearby repair shop for a thorough inspection and repair to completely eliminate potential hazards. Below is additional information: 1. Circuit malfunction: This could be caused by a low-voltage power failure during driving, leading to stalling. In this situation, focus on checking the ignition, engine switch, and fuse box. 2. Electrical component malfunction: This issue is usually related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. Symptoms include the car starting initially, stalling after a while, then restarting and stalling again. 3. Fuel system malfunction: The car may restart but with difficulty if there are issues like a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. 4. Sensor malfunction: Faults in sensors such as the throttle position sensor, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or camshaft position sensor can also cause stalling issues.

How many cylinders does the BMW 530Le have?

The powertrain configuration of the new BMW 530Le can be referenced to the X5-eDrive. However, the 530Li model equipped with a 3.0L inline six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine has been replaced by the 528Li model, which features a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Types of cylinders: Single-acting cylinder: Only one end has a piston rod. Air is supplied from one side of the piston to generate pressure, which pushes the piston to extend and produce thrust, returning via spring or gravity. Double-acting cylinder: Air is alternately supplied from both sides of the piston, producing force in one or two directions. Diaphragm cylinder: Uses a diaphragm instead of a piston, producing force in only one direction and resetting via spring. It has excellent sealing performance but a short stroke.

Why does a car's brakes suddenly become soft?

The reasons why a car's brakes suddenly become soft are: Air in the brake lines: Brake fluid is the medium that transmits force in the braking system. If air enters the brake lines, the brake fluid under high pressure will appear insufficient in strength; Brake fluid not replaced for a long time: If brake fluid is not replaced in time, it will contain excessive impurities and moisture; Oil leakage or overly soft brake material: Generally, oil leakage from the master cylinder or brake lines will cause the car's brakes to become soft. Brakes are mechanical braking devices that can slow down the vehicle, also known as decelerators. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake shoes on the brake drum, clamping the brake disc and causing the car to slow down or stop.

How often should motorcycles undergo inspection?

Motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years, and once every year after exceeding 4 years. Below is detailed information about overdue vehicle inspections: Overview: If the inspection is overdue by less than 3 months, you only need to directly go through the re-inspection procedure, usually receiving a verbal warning. If the inspection is overdue by more than 3 months but less than 2 years, you will generally be fined when going through the re-inspection. If the inspection is overdue for more than 2 years, the vehicle's records will be directly canceled. To restore the records, you usually need to pay a fine. Once a vehicle passes inspection, the owner assumes full responsibility for any accidents. Other: Required documents for vehicle annual inspection (individual) mainly include the original vehicle license and road/bridge card, duplicate of compulsory traffic insurance, road/bridge ticket, copy of the owner's ID card, and the vehicle itself.

How Long Does a Tire Count as Stock Inventory?

Tires older than 3 years are considered stock inventory. Below is a partial introduction about tires: Introduction: The sidewall thickness of a tire is 5mm. Based on the carcass structure, automotive tires can be divided into pneumatic tires and solid tires. The vast majority of modern vehicles use pneumatic tires. Depending on the internal air pressure, pneumatic tires can be categorized into high-pressure tires, low-pressure tires, and ultra-low-pressure tires. Types: Low-pressure tires are commonly used in various vehicles. Pneumatic tires can also be divided into tube tires and tubeless tires based on their structure. Tubeless tires are widely used in passenger cars. Depending on the arrangement of the internal cord layers and cushion layers, tires can be further classified into radial tires and bias-ply tires. Radial tires are commonly used in vehicles. All tires have markings on their sidewalls.

What does 58P mean on a motorcycle tire?

Motorcycle tire 58P, where 'P' refers to the speed rating, indicating the tire's maximum speed is 150 km/h, and '58' represents the load index of the tire. Tire marking methods: There are various ways to denote tire specifications, with four common types in the market: British, German, metric, and American systems. Here's a brief explanation of these four: The British system, used by former British colonies, uses inches as the unit. For example, 4.00H184PR means the width is 4 inches, suitable for speeds below 210 km/h, with a tire rim diameter of 18 inches and a 4-ply rating. Metric tire markings: These provide a more comprehensive description of tire characteristics. Similar to the German system but omits the '-' sign for low-pressure tires, replacing it with 'R' to denote radial tires. For example, the rear tire of an FZR400 is marked as 140/60R1864H, where 'R18' indicates that the tire is a radial tire.

What is the maximum displacement of domestic engines?

The maximum displacement of domestic engines is 3L. Displacement and automobiles: The space volume that the piston passes through when moving from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement; if the engine has several cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. It is generally expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, which can represent the size of the engine better than the cylinder diameter and the number of cylinders. Many indicators of the engine are closely related to the displacement. Displacement classification: The classification of Chinese cars is determined by the size of the displacement. The displacement of mini cars is less than or equal to 1.0L; the displacement of ordinary cars is in the range of 1.0-1.6L; the displacement of intermediate cars is in the range of 1.6-2.5L; the displacement of mid-to-high-end cars is in the range of 2.5-4.0L; the displacement of high-end cars is greater than 4.0L.
