What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Stall?

Automatic transmission cars stall for the following reasons: 1. Automatic transmission models do not stall easily, whereas manual transmission models may stall frequently due to insufficient driving skills. However, it is not impossible for an automatic transmission car to stall. The main reason is the use of low-quality fuel (many gas stations sell impure fuel for excessive profits), which causes carbon buildup in the engine and leads to stalling. 2. Lack of skill: For new cars (automatic transmission), the main reason for stalling is insufficient driving proficiency. Another possibility is issues with the car's engine or fuel system, but for new cars, the likelihood of engine problems is low; most cases are related to fuel system issues. 3. Engine carbon buildup: For older models, aside from insufficient driving skills, the use of substandard fuel can cause carbon buildup in the engine, leading to stalling.

Has the Night Driving Test for Class C Driver's License Been Cancelled?

2016 driving test reforms have cancelled the night driving test since April 1st, replacing it with daytime lighting simulation tests. This means students can proceed with the road test after completing corresponding operations according to voice instructions. Headlights (Low Beam): Headlights are the most basic lights of a vehicle. They must be turned on when driving at night. In urban areas, low beams are generally used, and high beams can only be activated after turning on the headlights. Rotate the knob or the top knob of the lever to the corresponding icon position to turn on the headlights. High Beam: High beams are designed for roads with poor lighting conditions. They should not be used during oncoming traffic or when streetlights provide sufficient illumination. Typically, push the lever on the left side of the steering wheel forward to activate high beams, while some older vehicles require pulling the lever towards the driver. Parking Lights: Parking lights, also known as running lights, help others see the outline of the vehicle. Nowadays, they also serve decorative purposes. Their brightness is lower than headlights. They should be turned on during rain, dim lighting, or in underground parking lots. Find the corresponding icon on the knob/lever and rotate it to the icon position to turn them on.

Safe driving: Properly use seat belts, which provide protection no less than airbags during severe collisions. Avoid fatigue driving and take breaks every 2 hours. Traffic rule compliance: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding may not only result in traffic police penalties but more importantly, it's unsafe.

What Causes a Burning Smell in the Engine Compartment?

The causes of a burning smell in the engine compartment are as follows: Incomplete Gasoline Combustion: When starting the car in winter, the low temperature makes it harder for gasoline to atomize, affecting combustion. Some unburned gasoline molecules are expelled through the exhaust pipe and then enter the cabin via the external air circulation system. Brake Pad Friction: If the handbrake is not fully released, the brake pads will continuously rub while driving, producing a metallic burning smell. Alternatively, if the brake pads contain larger metal particles, a brief burning odor may occur as these particles wear down. Clutch Plate Malfunction: Slipping clutch plates in the transmission can generate high temperatures, leading to a burning smell. For example, when accelerating uphill with the clutch partially engaged (not fully lifted), the clutch plate and flywheel rapidly rub against each other, producing a scorched odor. Prolonged partial engagement with high throttle can easily cause the clutch plate to burn out.

What Causes Gear Sticking in Motorcycles?

Motorcycle gear sticking during shifting is caused by incomplete clutch disengagement, which can be resolved by adjusting the clutch. Cleaning the clutch: When oil stains or rust are present on the clutch friction plates, driving plates, or pressure plates, they should be disassembled for removal of contaminants or rust, cleaned thoroughly with gasoline or kerosene, dried, and then reinstalled. Applying appropriate grease: After cleaning or replacing the clutch bearing, apply an appropriate amount of grease, ensuring the side with the dust cover faces the clutch. Incorrect installation must be avoided to prevent oil contamination from entering the clutch, which could cause clutch slippage. Regular adjustment: Regularly adjust the clutch operating mechanism, remove any dirt, tighten all connecting bolts, and lubricate the clutch pedal shaft as specified.
