It may be caused by unstable voltage, requiring inspection of the temperature sensor and related wiring for looseness or poor contact. Below is relevant information about the temperature gauge: 1. Introduction: The engine coolant temperature sensor, also known as the water temperature sensor, is typically installed in the water jacket of the engine block or cylinder head, or inside the thermostat and extends into the water jacket. The coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine electronic control unit (ECU) adjusts the injection time, ignition timing, idle speed, etc., based on this signal. It also serves as a control signal for other systems such as the fan clutch. 2. Classification: There are many types of temperature sensors, such as thermistor type, semiconductor type, and thermocouple type. A thermistor is a resistor whose resistance changes with temperature. A resistor whose resistance increases with rising temperature is called a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor; conversely, a resistor whose resistance decreases with rising temperature is called a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. The negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor type temperature sensor is commonly used in automobiles.

Where to Register a New Car in Fuzhou?

New car registration in Fuzhou can be done at the local vehicle management office. The specific process for new car registration is as follows: 1. Vehicle inspection, which mostly requires that the vehicle has not been modified, has no window tinting, and that the chassis number and engine number are clearly visible. A triangular warning sign must also be present. 2. After inspection, the registration materials are reviewed. Then, the staff will input the information; if there are no errors, a barcode is issued. Choose a license plate number, and after selection is completed, pay the fee. 3. Wait for the documents, including the property certificate, driving license, vehicle inspection certificate, and national version of the environmental protection mark along with its copy. The cost is approximately 125 yuan.

What is the reason for the early opening and late closing of the engine intake valve?

The reasons for the early opening and late closing of the intake valve are as follows: The purpose of early opening the intake valve is to have a larger opening or a larger intake cross-sectional area at the beginning of the intake process, thereby reducing intake resistance and ensuring smooth intake. Early opening and late closing are intended to increase the intake time and thus the intake volume. Increased intake volume enhances engine power, while also reducing harmful substances produced after combustion of the air-fuel mixture, such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. This helps improve emission standards and reduce environmental pollution. Late closing of the intake valve: This is to fully utilize the inertia of the airflow, continuing the intake during the intake lag angle to increase the intake volume. Reduced intake resistance not only increases the intake volume but also decreases the power consumed during the intake process.

What to Do When the Starter Fails to Ignite?

Here are the reasons and solutions for the starter failing to ignite: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Too much carbon buildup inside the vehicle's engine can also cause the vehicle to fail to start. The solution is to frequently drive at high speeds to ensure complete fuel combustion, and regularly visit a 4S shop for engine carbon cleaning maintenance, which can reduce carbon buildup. 2. Spark plug blockage: If irregular shaking occurs during ignition, it is likely due to spark plug blockage. At this point, we can check the working condition of the spark plugs. If the issue is indeed with the spark plugs, they should be replaced promptly, and the problem will be resolved after replacement.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Yellow Dashed Line?

Yellow dashed lines allow for U-turns. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's dashed, you can overtake or make a U-turn safely. Below are the relevant regulations regarding U-turns on yellow lines: Permitted U-turn scenarios: If one side of the double yellow line is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the dashed side can cross the double yellow line to turn. When both sides of the double yellow line are dashed, vehicles from either side can cross to turn, which complies with traffic laws. Prohibited U-turn scenarios: Double solid yellow lines are marked for vehicles crossing the centerline to enter or exit the main road. This means vehicles traveling straight on the main road cannot make U-turns in sections with double solid yellow lines.

Can You Drive with a Tire Pressure of 1.7?

A tire pressure of 1.7 is not safe for driving. Insufficient tire pressure can cause excessive flexing of the tire body, leading to high heat generation. Continuous high heat can severely damage the internal structure of the tire. If driving continues under reduced tire strength, it may ultimately result in tire damage or even a blowout, which is more dangerous. Tires are made of rubber, and rubber products will age over time. It is recommended to replace tires every four years. During regular vehicle use, frequently check the tire pressure and inspect the tire surface for any damage. If the tire pressure is too low, inflate the tires promptly. During maintenance, you can lift the vehicle with a jack to check for uneven tire wear. Uneven wear can lead to inaccurate four-wheel alignment data.
