What Causes the Car Not to Start and the Fuel Pump Not to Supply Oil?

Car not starting and the fuel pump not supplying oil can be caused by the following reasons: Low fuel level: If the car has very little fuel or the fuel gauge shows below the red line, it naturally won't start. When you find that the car won't start, the first thing you should do is check the fuel gauge to see if there's any fuel left. Additionally, never wait until the fuel tank is empty to refuel. This not only affects the engine's lifespan but also the fuel pump's lifespan. Moreover, operating the fuel pump without fuel can be dangerous. Crankshaft position sensor failure: The crankshaft position sensor is one of the most important sensors in an electronically controlled fuel injection engine, especially in centralized control systems. It is also a shared sensor for the ignition system and the fuel injection system. The function of the crankshaft position sensor is to monitor the position of the crankshaft, allowing the engine's computer to detect the speed signal. If the crankshaft position sensor fails, the computer cannot detect the speed signal and thus cannot determine whether to ignite, resulting in the car not starting.

What is the Suitable Oil Viscosity Grade for Winter?

5W-40 oil is suitable for external temperature ranges from -30°C to 40°C; while 10W-30 oil is suitable for external temperature ranges from -25°C to 30°C. Both of these are acceptable. Details are as follows: 1. Lubricant labeling: The viscosity of lubricating oil is often indicated using SAE grade labels, such as SAE40, SAE50, or SAE15W-40, SAE5W-40. The 'W' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. 2. Oil temperature resistance: 5W withstands external low temperatures of -30°C, 10W withstands -25°C, 15W withstands -20°C, 20W withstands -15°C, 30 withstands external high temperatures of 30°C, 40 withstands 40°C, and 50 withstands 50°C.

Starting in P Gear or N Gear?

Actually, there is no difference between starting in P gear or N gear. This is because the structural principles of P gear and N gear are basically the same, except that P gear has an additional set of pawl gear mechanism compared to N gear. Whether in P gear or N gear, the connection between the transmission input shaft and output shaft is cut off, and the output shaft will not rotate at this time. The only difference is that when in P gear, the pawl gear mechanism at the end of the output shaft will also lock it. Here is some related information about car gears: 1. For manual transmissions, first gear usually corresponds to speeds below 20 km/h. 2. Second gear is for speeds between 20 km/h and 35 km/h. 3. Third gear is for speeds between 35 km/h and 45 km/h. 4. Fourth gear is for speeds between 45 km/h and 60 km/h. 5. Fifth gear is for speeds above 60 km/h, and if the vehicle has a sixth gear, you can shift to 6th gear at 80 km/h.

What Causes Antifreeze Leakage Under the Car?

Reasons for coolant leakage under the car: Radiator damage, poor sealing of the upper and lower water chambers. Loose connections and poor sealing at the overflow tank, water pump mating surface, and cooling system pipeline joints. Cylinder head gasket damage, excessive deviation or warping of the cylinder head and block mating surfaces, and loose cylinder head bolts, which allow high-temperature, high-pressure gases from the cylinders to enter the cooling system, leading to rapid coolant consumption. Antifreeze replacement cycle: Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze condition regularly; if the level is low, top it up promptly. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed, replace the antifreeze and flush the system immediately. Functions of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round.

How to Open the Trunk from Inside the Qashqai?

The Qashqai does not have a trunk release button inside the cabin. The owner needs to exit the vehicle and press the button on the trunk to open it, or directly press the trunk release button on the car key. The trunk will also unlock when the unlock button is pressed. Details are as follows: 1. Trunk Capacity: The Qashqai's trunk capacity ranges from 352L to 1513L, offering strong space expandability. Under normal conditions, the Qashqai's trunk volume is only 352L, which is less than that of a typical compact sedan's trunk. However, thanks to its taller body and larger trunk opening, the Qashqai can easily accommodate larger items. 2. Inability to Fully Flatten: The practicality is further enhanced when the rear seats are folded down. However, the rear seats cannot be completely flattened, though the current configuration still meets basic needs.

Can One-Button Start Be Changed Back to a Mechanical Key?

It can be modified, but altering the circuit carries risks, so proceed with caution. Here is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Introduction One: Compared to mechanical keys, one-button start is convenient and fast. After entering the driver's seat, simply press the start switch, and the car will automatically perform a self-check and ignite. 2. Introduction Two: The car one-button start is part of the smart car system, a button device that simplifies the ignition process and can also be used to turn off the engine. 3. Introduction Three: The functions of the one-button start smart system include automatic unlocking, automatic locking, automatic window closing, automatic anti-theft, one-button start, one-button shutdown, and automatic locking before driving.
