The reasons why a car starts but stalls immediately with no power are: 1. The installed anti-theft system is not deactivated—simply deactivate it; 2. The throttle body is too dirty or there is excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold. You can use a diagnostic tool to check the throttle opening and clean the throttle body or intake manifold as needed; 3. Inspect the ignition system, especially the ignition coil, to see if there are any issues; 4. Insufficient fuel in the tank, leading to low fuel pump pressure; 5. Clogged fuel injectors. Poor fuel quality can also cause the car to start and then stall quickly. Some drivers refuel at unregulated gas stations where low-quality gasoline contains more impurities and may even be mixed with water.

What is the new car delivery process?

Here is the detailed new car delivery process at a 4S dealership: 1. Cost verification: Carefully check each item during cost verification, such as the fees for any installed accessories. 2. Vehicle and accompanying items handover: The vehicle handover process essentially involves inspecting the vehicle's exterior and functions for any defects, as well as ensuring all accompanying tools, manuals, and documents are complete. 3. Delivery ceremony: Finally, most 4S dealerships conduct a delivery ceremony where the salesperson and the owner take photos with the new car. The salesperson will then explain vehicle maintenance and repair-related matters. After completing all these steps, the owner can drive the car away.

What is the difference between internal circulation and external circulation?

Internal circulation means the air only circulates inside the vehicle, while external circulation connects the interior air with outside air. Internal circulation: The air only circulates within the vehicle without exchanging with outside air. Internal circulation blocks polluted gases by closing the airflow passage between the interior and exterior. Its main function is to effectively prevent external dust and harmful gases from entering the cabin. External circulation: The interior air is connected with outside air. External air flows in through the front intake duct and exits through the rear outlet. External circulation replenishes fresh air. When driving in congested urban areas, the cabin may fill with exhaust fumes, which is caused by using external circulation.

Are Three-Set Mortgage Cars Safe?

Three-set mortgage cars are not safe and pose security risks, requiring careful consideration before personal purchase. On one hand, such mortgage cars may have potential legal disputes. Additionally, issues may arise with annual inspections and insurance claims for these types of vehicles, and reselling them as used cars in the future could be relatively more difficult. Below are supplementary methods for purchasing safer mortgage cars: 1. Purchase from reputable sources: Ensure the vehicle has complete documentation and meets roadworthiness conditions, including a valid driver's license, annual inspection, and insurance. 2. Annual inspection is possible: As long as it is a legally transferred debt vehicle, even if it is "sealed" due to asset preservation reasons, it can undergo annual inspection. For out-of-town vehicles, a power of attorney is required. 3. Purchase insurance with yourself as the beneficiary: After acquiring the vehicle, it is essential to buy a commercial insurance policy where you are the beneficiary. 4. Note: After purchasing the vehicle, remove the original GPS and install your own GPS system.

What is the difference between ethanol-blended gasoline and pure gasoline?

The differences between ethanol-blended gasoline and pure gasoline lie in their power output and their effects on vehicles. Difference in power output: Due to the distinct characteristics of ethanol compared to gasoline, ethanol-blended gasoline provides better power output at high RPMs but performs worse at low RPMs when compared to pure gasoline. Difference in effects on vehicles: Since ethanol produces acetic acid during combustion, it can corrode vehicle metals, especially copper. Ethanol is also an excellent solvent that can clean deposits (mainly a mixture of gum and rust) from fuel tanks and pipelines. However, it may cause slight corrosion, swelling, softening, or cracking of the vehicle's rubber seals and other synthetic non-metallic materials. Pure gasoline does not have these corrosive effects.

What is the difference between a 14-tooth and a 15-tooth small sprocket?

For the same model, a 14-tooth small sprocket provides greater starting power compared to a 15-tooth small sprocket, but the 14-tooth sprocket has a lower travel speed than the 15-tooth sprocket. This is because fewer teeth on the small sprocket result in greater starting power but reduce travel speed. Conversely, more teeth on the small sprocket reduce starting power but increase travel speed. Additional information: According to the transmission ratio, if the large sprocket has 45 teeth, changing the small sprocket to 15 teeth while maintaining the original transmission ratio requires the large sprocket to be increased to (45×15)÷14=48.21, meaning it needs to be increased to 48 teeth to roughly maintain the original speed ratio.

Can Slightly Deformed Wheel Rim Edges Be Repaired?

Wheel rim edges with slight deformation can be repaired, but it is not recommended. Some hidden damages during the repair process are not easily visible: This can easily pose safety hazards, so it is advisable to replace the wheel rim with a brand new one. Damage to wheel rims is usually related to aluminum alloy rims, primarily caused by external forces: One type is surface damage, mainly involving wear and scratches on the rim surface. The other is deformation damage, which, as the name suggests, refers to the rim becoming deformed or twisted under external force. The method for repairing steel wheel rims involves first testing the wheel rim support bar on specialized equipment. If the support bar is deformed, the wheel rim cannot be repaired.
