What causes the thud sound when starting the car after parking for several days?
1 Answers
When starting the car after parking for several days, the thud sound mainly occurs due to the battery being drained from prolonged parking. The explanation is as follows: 1. Cause: This is primarily caused by the battery running out of power after extended parking. Because of the delayed ignition, unburned gasoline is expelled into the exhaust pipe just as the spark plug ignites, resulting in the sound of atomized gasoline being ignited in the exhaust pipe. 2. Recommendation: Generally, if the vehicle is left unused for a long time, it's best to charge the battery every three days and let the engine idle for about 10 minutes. If the car has aftermarket navigation systems or similar large electrical accessories, power consumption may be more severe.
