The causes of abnormal engine noise include premature fuel injection timing, diesel leakage from fuel injectors, piston impact on cylinder walls, excessive piston ring side clearance, collision between valve stem ends and rocker arms, and engine misfire. The specific cause needs to be determined based on different abnormal noise conditions, as detailed below: Abnormal noise caused by rough engine operation, commonly known as "knocking sound." The phenomenon is characterized by strong noise at low speeds, audible clearly from a distance of over ten meters, accompanied by difficult starting. After ignition, the engine runs unevenly with rapid coolant consumption. This noise is caused by premature fuel injection timing and requires readjustment of the fuel injection advance angle. Engine abnormal noise has a certain pattern, sometimes knocking, sometimes backfiring, accompanied by unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke emissions. This uneven noise is caused by diesel leakage from fuel injectors. When this occurs, the fuel injectors should be serviced. The engine emits a "clunking" or "thudding" sound, particularly noticeable at low speeds or sudden speed changes, accompanied by oil burning. This noise is due to excessive clearance between pistons and cylinder walls, increasing piston impact on cylinder walls during operation. The solution is to replace the cylinder liners or pistons. A "clinking" sound resembling a small hammer lightly tapping an anvil can be heard along the entire length of the cylinder block, more pronounced during sudden speed changes. This is caused by excessive piston ring side clearance. Replace the piston rings, and if necessary, the pistons as well. A "clicking" or "tapping" sound around the cylinder head cover is quieter when the engine is warm and louder when cold, persisting even when fuel supply is stopped at low speeds. The main cause is excessive valve clearance, leading to collision between valve stem ends and rocker arms. Adjust the valve clearance. Exhaust gas flow shows obvious intermittency, with severe exhaust pipe vibration and clear engine abnormal noise. This is caused by engine misfire.

Which Button is the Car Air Conditioner?

In most cases, the car air conditioner is the AC button. Here is how to use the Civic's air conditioner: 1. Turn on the button: Press the ON/OFF button to start the air conditioner, and the compressor begins to work. When the compressor first starts, even if it is set to cooling, you may feel warm air blowing out. Wait until the water temperature normalizes. 2. Control the dual-zone air conditioner: There are AUTO buttons on both sides, which are for the dual-zone air conditioner, controlling the air conditioner's on/off and temperature settings for the driver and passenger. 3. Control the temperature: Use the knob to adjust the air conditioner temperature. Here is additional information on how to replace the air filter: 1. Choose the filter: Select the appropriate filter. 2. Open the filter: Unpack the new filter and check if it is intact. 3. Remove the filter: Take out the original car filter. 4. Remove the felt pad: Take off the felt pad covering the air vent. 5. Open the cover: After removing the felt pad, you will see a rectangular cover for the air filter. Pull the cover to the right to open it. 6. Replace the filter: Remove the old filter and install the new one.

What to Do When the Car Key Won't Turn?

The reason the car key won't turn is that the automatic steering wheel lock function has been activated. Here are the relevant details: 1. The steering wheel lock is a car anti-theft feature designed to ensure vehicle safety. The solution is to insert the key, press the brake, and gently turn the steering wheel left and right. When the steering wheel is locked, it can be slightly moved. While turning the steering wheel, turn the key to complete the steering wheel unlocking process. 2. After turning off the engine, if you turn the steering wheel left or right or if the wheels are not aligned when parked, the applied force can cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function. This causes the steering lock pin and steering column to engage, preventing the steering wheel from turning. At this point, the vehicle's anti-theft system perceives a theft risk, thus locking the steering wheel to serve its anti-theft purpose.

Why is there heavy white smoke and strong odor from the car's exhaust pipe?

White smoke from a car's exhaust pipe is generally a normal phenomenon, but if there is a large amount of white smoke, it may indicate that the engine piston is faulty and starting to burn oil. As for the odor, it is usually caused by the release of silicon material inside the catalytic converter when heated, which is normal. However, if the pungent smell becomes increasingly strong, it is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a service center. Here is more related information: 1. Normal white smoke: Normal white smoke occurs because the exhaust gases coming out of the pipe are at a high temperature, and the high-temperature water vapor rapidly turns into small water droplets in the cooler air, creating "white smoke," which is physically known as liquefaction. If there is a large amount of white smoke, it could be due to damaged engine pistons starting to burn oil. 2. Excessive moisture: If there is too much moisture in the gasoline, it is recommended to clean the throttle body. If the gasoline contains water, check for leaks of water or oil at the junction of the cylinder head and gasket. If leaks are found, it indicates a damaged cylinder gasket causing the leakage. 3. White smoke in low temperatures: White smoke during cold starts is normal and should disappear as the engine warms up. However, if the smoke increases and persists when accelerating, along with a worsening pungent smell, it is advisable to have it inspected and repaired at a 4S shop.

Can You Still Drive After Losing All 12 Points on Your License?

If all 12 points on your driver's license are deducted, you cannot continue to drive. You must complete theoretical training and pass the exam to regain your license. The specific process for retrieving your license after losing all 12 points is as follows: 1. Registration: After a driver has all 12 points deducted, their license will be confiscated, and the traffic police department that deducted the points will issue an "Admission Notice." The driver must take this notice to the designated school to register and attend training. 2. Training: The training period lasts for 7 days, with sessions held every morning. The courses include topics such as traffic violation scoring and penalties, driver psychology and traffic safety, and road traffic safety laws and regulations. Upon completing all courses, the school will issue a "Training Completion Certificate." 3. Exam: After completing the training, the vehicle management office must conduct a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the driver passes the exam, the deducted points will be cleared, and their driver's license will be returned.

What are the differences between yellow label and green label?

According to the vehicle registration model and the environmental protection inspection results of exhaust emissions, they are divided into two types: green label for environmental protection inspection qualification and yellow label. The differences between the two are as follows: 1. Gasoline vehicles: The green label refers to the label issued for models that meet the National Phase I Emission Standard ("China I") or above, while the yellow label refers to the label issued for models that do not meet the National Phase I Emission Standard ("China I") or above. 2. Diesel vehicles: The green label refers to the label issued for models that meet the National Phase III Emission Standard ("China III") or above, while the yellow label refers to the label issued for models that do not meet the National Phase III Emission Standard ("China III") or above.
