The reasons for no clicking sound and failure to start when turning the key are: 1. The steering wheel is locked: If the steering wheel wasn't straightened after turning off the engine, the vehicle may enter sleep mode and lock the steering wheel, preventing the key from turning and causing startup failure. Try turning the steering wheel while turning the key to unlock it. 2. Insufficient fuel: Due to abnormal fuel pump supply, check if the fuel gauge is in the red zone. The solution is to refuel. 3. Faulty fuel injector(s): This can cause weak engine startup or failure to start, with significant shaking at idle. It not only wastes fuel but may also affect engine lifespan. The solution is to inspect each fuel injector individually and replace if necessary. New fuel injectors require computer pairing after installation.

How should beginners perform parallel parking?

Align the rear of your car parallel to the parked car with a 0.5-meter gap, then start reversing. When your side mirror aligns with the center pillar between the front and rear doors of the parked car, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When your car forms a 45-degree angle with the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Wait until the front of your car straightens out, then return the steering wheel to the center position.

What to Do When Your Car Has a Small Dent?

Why Does My Car Smell Like Gas When Starting?

Here are the reasons why you might smell gasoline when starting your car: 1. Incomplete fuel combustion: During a cold start, the ECU adjusts the fuel injection quantity based on intake air temperature. More fuel is injected when the engine is cold, and the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders doesn't burn completely when the engine first starts. This unburned fuel mixture is directly discharged through the exhaust pipe, containing higher gasoline content which produces the noticeable gasoline smell. 2. Fuel tank leakage: A leaking fuel tank or fuel line can cause gasoline odors, though this is very unlikely to occur. Vehicles without major collisions generally don't experience this issue. The inspection method is simple - check for oil stains on the ground where you park. Any leakage from either the tank or fuel lines will leave visible traces. 3. Charcoal canister issue: The main component of the charcoal canister is activated carbon, known for its strong adsorption capacity. In vehicles, the canister's purpose is to absorb fuel vapors from gasoline, which vaporizes significantly under high temperatures, creating substantial pressure in the fuel tank. These vapors must either be vented or collected. When the charcoal canister fails, these fuel vapors can leak out, resulting in a persistent gasoline smell inside the vehicle.
