Audi A4L shaking and stalling during cold starts may be due to dirty fuel lines, low engine temperature, and other reasons. Dirty fuel lines: When the fuel lines are dirty, the fuel injectors' atomization efficiency decreases, leading to poor combustion. The sensors detect this issue, causing severe shaking and stalling, which is occasional. Cleaning the system will resolve the problem. During the second ignition, because the engine control unit has data from the first attempt, it increases the fuel injection volume to ensure sufficient air-fuel mixture, preventing stalling. Low engine temperature: During a cold start, the engine temperature has not yet reached its optimal operating level. At this time, the fuel injectors automatically increase the fuel injection volume to raise the RPM, with idle speed ranging between 1,200 and 2,000. After idling for about a minute, the RPM drops below 1,000, and the engine returns to normal operation.

What is the correct method for connecting jumper cables?

Here is the method for connecting jumper cables: 1. First, attach the red clamp of the jumper cable to the red positive terminal of the "dead battery" vehicle. 2. Then, attach the other end of the red cable to the red positive terminal of the "donor" vehicle. 3. Connect the black clamp to the black negative terminal of the "dead battery" vehicle. 4. Next, connect the black cable to the black negative terminal of the "donor" vehicle. 5. Start the engine of the "donor" vehicle first, then start the engine of the "dead battery" vehicle. Additional information: If the "dead battery" vehicle still fails to start, check if there is poor contact at the metal connections.

What is the reason for not being able to find the new driver's license file number?

The reasons for not being able to find the new driver's license file number are as follows: Data: It may be that the data in the traffic police department's system has not been updated to the 12123 software system, and you need to wait for the system data synchronization to complete. Incorrect address: It may be that the correct address of the driver's license issuance location was not selected during registration, causing some data to not display or be delayed. You need to select driver's license transfer within the system and transfer it to the issuance location of the driver's license for it to display. If it still doesn't work, then you need to cancel this 12123 account, register a new 12123 account, select the correct address, and after logging in, choose to view personal information.

How to Turn Off the ECO Indicator Light in a Car?

Method to turn off the ECO indicator light in a car: When the ECO mode is on, press the ECO button again to turn off the indicator light and deactivate the ECO function. Location of the ECO button: The ECO button is usually located on the left side of the car, marked with the letters "ECO". Some models have a green button, making it easy to identify. Principle of ECO: ECO primarily works by comprehensively analyzing and judging various factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to provide to the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear shifts to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption.
