If a car can start but not move, it could be due to issues with the brake system or the handbrake gear. Here are the specific details: 1. Brake caliper problem: It might be caused by the piston ring of the brake caliper being stuck. If this is the case, the brake caliper needs to be replaced. It could also be due to the metal plate fixing the brake pads being deformed. If this is the reason, the metal plate of the brake pads needs to be replaced. 2. Rust adhesion between the brake pads and brake disc: If the car owner lives in a relatively humid area, especially after rainy or overcast days with high humidity, the brake pads and brake disc may rust and stick together after parking for a while. This situation often occurs in winter after washing the car. The brake disc may freeze. This is a normal phenomenon.

How to Increase Power for a 1.5L Naturally Aspirated Engine?

Engine modification generally refers to upgrading the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit), commonly known as 'flashing stages,' which are categorized into Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3. The familiar intake system modifications, such as installing a high-flow air filter (commonly referred to as a 'mushroom head'), aim to maximize air intake volume while reducing intake air temperature. Additionally, upgrading to a larger exhaust system with wider diameter and faster flow exhaust components can further enhance performance. Replacing the spark plugs with high-energy, stable ones helps minimize energy loss in the ignition system. Combined with a well-balanced air-fuel mixture and high-quality gasoline, these modifications naturally lead to increased power output.

How to Repair Scratches and Minor Dents on Car Doors?

You can use a bridge-type suction rod, which can adhere to the adhesive pad attached by the car owner, and then continuously turn the screw cap until the dent is pulled out and leveled. Perform light metalworking, use a suction cup to pull out the dented area, then use a hook to reach behind the dented area, and use a rubber hammer to treat the protruding parts. To remove shallow scratches or stains, small scratches can also be treated using an eraser, toothpaste, or essential balm to eliminate minor scratches on the car body.

How to resolve the P0031 fault code?

You can unplug the sensor connector and measure the resistance between the two wires to see if it falls within the appropriate range. Here is some relevant information: 1. Oxygen sensor poisoning: Oxygen sensor poisoning is a common and difficult-to-prevent fault, especially in cars that frequently use leaded gasoline. Even a new oxygen sensor may only work for a few thousand kilometers. If the lead poisoning is mild, using a tank of unleaded gasoline can remove the lead from the sensor surface and restore normal operation. 2. Causes of failure: The silicon dioxide produced by the combustion of silicon compounds in gasoline and lubricating oil, as well as the organic silicon gas released from improper use of silicone rubber gaskets, can cause the oxygen sensor to fail. Therefore, it is important to use high-quality fuel and lubricating oil.

Can You Charge in Rainy Days?

You can charge in rainy days. Here is the relevant information: 1. Charging port standards: Manufacturers have strict standards for charging components and interfaces, which generally meet IPX6-IPX7 waterproof ratings. This means that under light rain conditions, there will be no damage to components or safety issues. 2. Parking position: When parking, try to choose a higher ground position. If you are in a low-lying position, prolonged water accumulation may cause the battery or charging port to be submerged in water. Check the charging gun before charging to ensure there is no accumulated water or debris inside, and make sure the charging gun and charging port can fully contact for normal charging.

What does it mean when the particulate filter is self-cleaning?

The particulate filter is self-cleaning indicates that the vehicle has automatically initiated the regeneration process. During driving, when the particulate matter captured in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reaches certain conditions, the vehicle will automatically start the regeneration process to fully burn off the particulate matter, restoring the DPF's ability to continue capturing particulate matter. To successfully complete the regeneration process, the following driving recommendations should be followed: Try to drive at a constant speed on roads with good conditions while maintaining the engine speed at around 2000 RPM. Avoid engine idling as much as possible. Avoid stopping or turning off the engine if possible. The function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which can capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere.
