Automatic starting of a car without reason may be due to the following causes: 1. Circuit failure: This could occur when the car stalls due to low-voltage power interruption while driving. In this case, focus on checking the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. 2. Electrical component failure: This issue is typically related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially but stall after a while, then start again and stall once more. 3. Fuel system failure: Damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car might restart, but with great difficulty. 4. Sensor failure: Faults in sensors such as the throttle position sensor, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or camshaft position sensor can also lead to stalling issues if they malfunction.

What is the function of a three-way catalytic converter cleaner?

The functions of a three-way catalytic converter cleaner are as follows: 1. Improve the oxidation-reduction efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter. 2. Reduce exhaust emissions, unclog the three-way catalytic converter passages, lower exhaust backpressure, and enhance engine horsepower. 3. Decrease fuel consumption and extend the service life of the three-way catalytic converter. Precautions for using a three-way catalytic converter cleaner: 1. Before cleaning, check whether the catalytic converter has mechanical damage, thermal sintering, has exceeded 200,000 kilometers, or suffers from lead poisoning. If any of these conditions exist, cleaning will be ineffective. 2. Check whether the air-fuel mixture concentration is appropriate. 3. Before cleaning the catalytic converter, clean the throttle valve, fuel injectors, and combustion chamber. 4. During the cleaning process, do not let the engine stall. 5. During the cleaning process, the idle speed should not be too high to avoid overheating the three-way catalytic converter.
