The hissing sound near the intake pipe of the Besturn X80 is caused by an air leak in the intake pipe. Below are specific details about the manifestations of an intake pipe leak: Engine power loss: Since the air entering the engine through cracks in the intake pipe bypasses the air flow sensor, this portion of air dilutes the combustible air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders, leading to symptoms of engine power loss. Poor wiring includes substandard alloy wires and inadequate insulation on the outer layer of the wires. The pulse current IN through the high-voltage wire weakens due to poor conductivity, which also results in incomplete or slow combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Increased nitrogen oxide emissions: Since nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust are formed in high-temperature, oxygen-rich environments, an overly lean air-fuel mixture further promotes the generation of nitrogen oxides, thereby increasing the emission of vehicle exhaust pollutants. Starting difficulties: During startup, the engine requires a higher concentration of the air-fuel mixture. The lean mixture caused by an intake pipe leak leads to difficulties in starting the engine. Symptoms include the starter suddenly losing power during startup, accompanied by a burning rubber smell or smoke emanating from the battery area, often due to poor contact and overheating at the terminal posts or clamps.

What is the meaning of engine start-stop?

Engine start-stop refers to a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving, such as waiting at a red light, and can restart the engine when the car needs to move forward again. The main function of the engine is to increase pressure and intake volume to achieve higher power output, making the car more powerful. Engine types can be categorized by their intake systems as: naturally aspirated, turbocharged, and by cylinder arrangement as: inline engines, V-type engines, W-type engines, and horizontally opposed engines.

Where to Connect the Ground Wire in a Car?

Locations include the main ground wire between the battery and the vehicle body, the ground wire between the engine and the body or battery, the CPU ground wire, and the dashboard ground wire. Main Ground Wire Between Battery and Vehicle Body The power ground wire is generally connected to the vehicle frame. This wire manages the current flow from various parts of the car. If one end is connected to the battery terminal and the other end is connected to the vehicle frame (sometimes via a master switch, though some cars lack this switch), poor contact can occur due to corrosion or sulfation at the battery terminal. A faulty ground connection acts like a large resistor in the circuit, causing issues ranging from difficulty starting the engine and dim lights to complete electrical failure. Engine Ground Wire Between Engine and Body or Battery The engine is the heart of the car and the most critical electrical hub, housing components like the alternator, starter, ignition system, fuel delivery system, and various sensors. The engine is mounted on rubber pads to reduce vibration, not directly connected to the metal body. Poor engine grounding can prevent the starter from working, hinder the alternator from generating or delivering power, disrupt sensor signals, and weaken spark plug performance. In severe cases, inadequate grounding can cause electrical arcing, damaging components or even destroying the engine. CPU Ground Wire Modern cars mostly use electronic fuel injection systems, phasing out carburetor models. Even high-end diesel vehicles like Sinotruk’s HOWO now feature CPU-controlled systems. The CPU acts as the electronic brain, processing data and sending commands to actuators. A faulty or broken CPU ground wire can distort signals, leading to operational issues or even partial burnout of the CPU module. Dashboard Ground Wire The dashboard is a highly integrated assembly of precision instruments, crucial for displaying the car’s "body language." The internal resistances of these instruments are meticulously calculated. A faulty dashboard ground connection can cause inaccurate readings and false alarms.

What are the consequences of not replacing the air filter?

The consequences of not replacing the air filter include: 1. Reduced filtration efficiency, allowing fine dust from the air to enter the engine combustion chamber through the intake system, causing severe wear to the engine cylinders; 2. Incomplete combustion of gasoline, leading to increased carbon deposits in the throttle body. The accumulation of carbon deposits inside the engine can result in unstable idling, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and engine vibration; 3. Excessive accumulation of impurities on the surface of the air filter can easily cause blockages, leading to insufficient air intake for the engine. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Providing fresh air; 2. Ensuring safety and hygiene; 3. Absorbing harmful substances; 4. Filtering solid impurities.

How many points are deducted for the rear of the car going out of line during reverse parking?

If the rear of the car goes out of line during reverse parking, 100 points will be deducted, resulting in failure. Reverse parking is one of the mandatory test items in the Subject 2 (Field Driving Skills Test). The test items for Subject 2 include: reverse parking into left and right bays, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill start and stop. Common reasons for failing Subject 2 include: 1. Failing to enter the parking bay or running over the boundary line during reverse parking; 2. Poor control of the clutch pedal, leading to excessive speed; 3. Inaccurate stopping during hill start and stop; 4. Stalling the engine due to operational errors during start; 5. Unfamiliarity with the test site, leading to nervousness; 6. Forgetting reference points during curve driving, resulting in running over the line.
