What Causes Engine Noise in Civic?

Here are the specific reasons for engine noise in Civic: 1. Engine Mount Deterioration: The abnormal noise caused by deteriorated engine mounts due to rough engine operation. This noise is caused by excessively early fuel injection timing and requires readjustment of the fuel injection advance angle. 2. Engine Misfire: The engine noise follows a certain pattern, accompanied by unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke emissions. This uneven noise is caused by diesel leakage from the fuel injector. When this occurs, the fuel injector should be serviced. 3. Piston Slap: The exhaust pipe produces continuous backfire sounds during exhaust, along with black smoke emission and excessive exhaust pipe temperature. Starting becomes difficult, and the backfire sound reduces at low speeds. This abnormal noise is caused by excessively delayed fuel injection timing, and the exhaust pipe position should be adjusted promptly.

What does it mean to drive not according to the guiding lane?

Driving not according to the guiding lane means not following the directional rules of the lane. It typically includes three situations: borrowing a left-turn lane when going straight, borrowing a straight lane when making a left turn, or arbitrarily making a right turn from left-turn or straight lanes. Common illegal behaviors of not following the guiding lane markings include: Not following the guiding lane markings at intersections in the corresponding lane: This situation often occurs in waiting lanes in front of traffic lights, where many drivers intentionally or unintentionally go straight from a turning lane or turn from a straight lane. At intersections with marked guiding lanes, drivers should enter the guiding lane according to the intended direction of travel. If a vehicle going straight enters a left-turn or right-turn lane, electronic monitoring will immediately capture the violation. Making a U-turn or left turn in sections where it is not allowed or prohibited: In some sections where turning or U-turns are not allowed and no signs are posted, yellow prohibition markings are painted on the lanes to warn drivers that turning or U-turns are not permitted in these sections. Illegally entering a dedicated lane: "Dedicated lanes" include bus lanes, lanes for specific vehicles, non-motorized vehicle lanes, etc. If a vehicle enters a dedicated lane illegally, it constitutes a "violation of prohibition markings."

Why is one side of the car air conditioner hot and the other side cold?

Here are the reasons why one side of the car air conditioner is hot while the other side is cold: 1. Uneven temperature settings: Dual-zone air conditioning requires adjusting temperatures for both the driver and passenger sides. If one side is set lower, it may result in one side being hot and the other cold. 2. Incorrect adjustment of the hot/cold knob: For example, wanting hot air but the knob isn't turned to red, or wanting cold air but the knob isn't turned to blue. 3. Clogged heater valve: Automatic dual-zone air conditioning uses two water pipes to the heater core. If one pipe is clogged and the other isn't, temperatures will differ on each side, resulting in different air outlet temperatures. 4. Malfunction of the air conditioning control unit: This can cause failure in controlling the hot/cold pipe valves. Try resetting the control unit.

How to Deal with Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

Measures to address squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel: If the steering tie rod ball joint is worn out, it can cause the steering wheel to shake and produce noise. In such cases, the steering tie rod ball joint is usually replaced, followed by a four-wheel alignment. Below are common sources of steering noise: 1. Friction between plastic components: Since steering wheels are typically made of plastic, colder temperatures can harden the plastic, potentially causing friction noises. 2. Noise originating from inside the steering wheel: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it is likely due to the clock spring (spiral cable) of the airbag. Remove the steering wheel airbag, apply some grease to the clock spring, and check if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring as it may be damaged. Handle the steering wheel gently during disassembly, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent accidental deployment. 3. Worn steering tie rod ball joint: As mentioned earlier, a worn steering tie rod ball joint can cause steering wheel shaking and noise. Replacement and a subsequent four-wheel alignment are typically required. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar: If the noise isn’t from the shock absorber, inspect the stabilizer bar bushings for looseness or damage. Loose or damaged bushings can cause noise when turning or driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can sometimes be fixed with shims, but damaged ones must be replaced. 5. Noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing: Open the hood and listen for noise near the shock absorber top mount. If the noise comes from here, apply grease to the bearing. If the noise continues, replacement is necessary.

Where is the in-car temperature sensor generally installed?

In-car temperature sensors are generally installed at the air intake grille of the front bumper. Below is relevant information about automotive sensors: 1. Classification: Based on their functions, sensors can be categorized into those measuring temperature, pressure, flow, position, gas concentration, speed, brightness, humidity, distance, etc. If a sensor fails, the corresponding device may malfunction or stop working altogether. 2. Application: Automotive sensors were initially used solely for engines but have now expanded to chassis, body, and lighting electrical systems. These systems utilize over 100 different types of sensors.

What is the difference between 125cc and 150cc power?

125cc and 150cc power have the following differences: 1. Different displacement: 125 and 150 here generally refer to the nominal displacement of the engine. A 125cc motorcycle specifically refers to a motorcycle with an engine displacement around 125CC, while a 150cc motorcycle refers to one with an engine displacement around 150CC. 2. Different performance: Mainly divided into bored engines and non-bored engines. For bored engines, only the cylinder block, piston, and piston rings are different, whereas for non-bored engines, in addition to these three differences, there are also differences in intake and exhaust valves, carburetor diameter, exhaust pipe diameter, air filter diameter, number of clutch teeth, and the crankshaft is also different.

How to Avoid Hitting the Front Car When Exiting a Parallel Parking Space?

When the upper edge of your vehicle's front hood aligns with the upper edge of the front car's bumper, they are approximately in the same position. By paying attention to this alignment, you can avoid hitting the front car when exiting a parallel parking space. Below are some related introductions about parallel parking: 1. Traditional parallel parking: Four poles were placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of the parking space. One of the criteria for successful parking was whether the vehicle could enter the space without touching these four poles. 2. After the implementation of new traffic regulations: Parallel parking no longer uses poles; instead, ground markings are used to define the boundaries of the parking space. For students learning to drive with a C1 license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the length of the vehicle plus 1 meter. Drive the vehicle to a position parallel to the parking space, then reverse into the space without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the boundaries without crossing the lines, it is considered a pass.
