When a motorcycle only makes a 'tututu' sound but fails to start during ignition, there are several potential causes to consider. It is necessary to separately check whether the spark plug is faulty, whether there is a misfire or the high voltage is too weak, whether the gasoline is of poor quality, whether the carburetor is clogged (clean the carburetor), and whether the carburetor's air-fuel mixture ratio is improperly adjusted. Additionally, check whether the choke is used incorrectly or has issues preventing the enrichment of the mixture, whether the valve clearance is too small or the valves are not sealing properly, whether there is a flooded cylinder, whether the cylinder pressure is too low, whether there is slight air leakage in the intake pipe or other rubber hoses, and whether the valve timing is incorrect. Any of these issues could lead to this type of malfunction.

What are the 'Three Touches and One Belt' in Subject Three?

The 'Three Touches and One Belt' in Subject Three refers to the preparatory actions before starting the vehicle, with variations in different regions. It involves touching the sensors on the rearview mirror, the left side mirror, and under the seat, adjusting the seat to a comfortable position, fastening the seatbelt, igniting the engine, turning on the low beam headlights, and beginning the nighttime simulated lighting test. Confirming Surrounding Safety: In some areas, pressing the sensors is not required, but walking around the vehicle remains essential. First, ensure the surrounding environment is safe. Even the most advanced radar and reversing camera systems have blind spots, making personal observation crucial. Due to the vehicle's large size, sitting inside does not provide a full view of the entire vehicle. Checking Tire Condition: Tire condition directly impacts driving safety. Bulges or insufficient tire pressure during use can easily lead to blowouts, which may cause serious accidents. Walking around the vehicle also helps detect any foreign objects like nails that could puncture the tires. Early Detection of Vehicle Scratches: When parked on public roads or in parking lots, vehicles are vulnerable to unexpected damage.

What happens if power steering fluid is never changed?

Not changing the power steering fluid for a long time can lead to heavier steering wheel operation, and in severe cases, may cause damage to the steering gear. The method for replacing power steering fluid is as follows: 1. Prepare a bottle of original power steering fluid; 2. Open the cap of the power steering fluid reservoir; 3. Lift the vehicle and remove the underbody guard; 4. Use pliers to loosen the oil pipe clamp and move it aside; 5. Disconnect the oil pipe to drain the fluid; 6. Turn the steering wheel left and right to expel the old power steering fluid; 7. After draining the fluid, reinstall the power steering pipe to its original position and secure the clamp back in place; 8. Lower the vehicle, add new power steering fluid while turning the steering wheel; 9. Use an oil extractor to remove surface foam, start the vehicle and turn the steering wheel left and right 4 to 5 times to expel air; 10. After expelling air, turn off the engine and check if the fluid level is normal; 11. Start the vehicle, lift it to check for any oil leaks or seepage from the power steering pipe, clean any oil stains, and reinstall the underbody guard.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chery QQ in liters?

There are 4 models of the Chery QQ, classified as microcars, with a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.0L 69-horsepower L3 engine. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed mechanical automatic, with a naturally aspirated 1.0-liter intake form. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. Maintenance of the fuel tank includes the following: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and check for oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air and vapor valves, also check if the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Civic?

Honda Civic's normal tire pressure is around 2.2-2.5 BAR. The 10th-generation Civic is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which differs from directly measuring each tire's pressure. The tire pressure monitoring system monitors the vehicle by comparing the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each wheel and tire. While driving, it determines whether one or more tires are significantly underinflated. This will cause the low tire pressure/tire pressure monitoring system indicator light to illuminate, and a message will appear on the driver information interface. The tire pressure monitoring indicator light will turn off automatically after driving once the tire pressure returns to normal. Precautions: A car's tire pressure undergoes subtle changes as driving mileage increases. Therefore, drivers should regularly monitor tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing braking distance and compromising safe driving. If the tire pressure is too low, driving too fast or for too long can cause the tire sidewall to rupture or even lead to a blowout. Low tire pressure accelerates tire wear, increases the risk of blowouts, and raises fuel consumption. High tire pressure reduces tire grip and accelerates wear, weakening braking performance. Cold and hot tires have different pressures, which is especially important to note during measurement. Typically, hot tire pressure is about 0.2 bar higher than cold tire pressure. If measuring hot tire pressure, subtracting 0.2 bar will give the cold tire pressure value.

Is the Changan CS85 1.5T Equipped with the Blue Whale Engine?

The Changan CS85 1.5T engine utilizes the Blue Whale engine independently developed by Changan Automobile. The Blue Whale engine is a self-developed engine by Changan, representing domestic technology, thus making it a domestically produced engine. The model of the Changan CS85 1.5T engine is JL476ZQCF. The JL476ZQCF engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 178 HP, a maximum power output of 131 kW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 265 N·m. For daily maintenance of the Changan CS85 1.5T engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Periodically clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
