If the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve does not close tightly, some exhaust gas will enter the engine intake pipe through the EGR valve when the engine is idling. Reduction in air-fuel mixture: Since the amount of air-fuel mixture is minimal during engine idling, the exhaust gas entering the intake pipe dilutes the concentration of the mixture, significantly affecting the engine's idle operation. This can cause the engine to idle very unstably or even stall. Exhaust Gas Recirculation: Symptoms of EGR valve malfunction. In many engines, the EGR system routes exhaust gas from one cylinder's exhaust manifold to the EGR valve. For example, in a 4-cylinder inline engine, the EGR pipe is typically connected to the exhaust manifold of the first or fourth cylinder.

Where does the Hangzhou-Changxing Expressway run from and to?

The Hangzhou-Changxing Expressway runs from the Hangzhou Ring Road to Sian, Changxing. The expressway starts from the Hangzhou Ring Road in the south and extends to the Sian Interchange in Changxing in the north, connecting to the Shanghai-Suzhou-Zhejiang-Anhui Expressway, with a total length of approximately 86 kilometers. It features four lanes in both directions and a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour. There are six interchanges along the route: Pingyao, Jingshan, Huanghu, Baizhang, Anji, and Anji North, with two service areas at Jingshan and Anji. The Hangzhou Bay area, being close to Shanghai and adjacent to Jiangsu, enjoys significant geographical advantages with access to rivers and the sea. The construction of the Hangzhou-Changxing Expressway has established a convenient and rapid corridor between northern Zhejiang, particularly Huzhou, Changxing, and Anji, and Shanghai, providing strong support for the development of the Hangzhou Bay industrial belt. Additionally, it has further enhanced Hangzhou's role as the central hub of Zhejiang's highway transportation network, strengthening its aggregation and radiation effects.

How Often Should Semi-Synthetic Oil Be Changed?

Semi-synthetic oil should be changed every six months, with a replacement cycle of approximately 7,500 kilometers. Proper oil changes ensure that the vehicle operates within normal parameters while also delivering better performance. Semi-synthetic oil is produced using semi-synthetic base oil, which is derived from mineral oil refined through hydrocracking technology. It is a blend of mineral oil and full synthetic oil in a 4:6 ratio, making it an ideal transitional product between mineral oil and synthetic oil. The exact oil change interval may vary depending on factors such as the city, environment, and driving conditions. If the city has high levels of airborne dust, extremely low temperatures (below -20°C), or if the vehicle is frequently used for short trips (each trip under 8 kilometers), it is recommended to change the oil more frequently—every 5,000 kilometers or every nine months. Keep track of your oil change intervals and observe the driving experience after each change. If the vehicle feels smoother and quieter after an oil change, it may indicate that the previous interval was too long, and the next change should be scheduled sooner. After a few adjustments, you can determine the optimal oil change interval for your specific needs.

What documents are required for driver's license renewal?

Documents required for driver's license renewal are: 1. The driver's ID card and driver's license; 2. Three one-inch white-background photos of the applicant; 3. A medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level. The driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or any other vehicle management office 90 days before the expiration of the current license. The process for driver's license renewal is: 1. The applicant brings the required documents to the local vehicle management office to complete the renewal procedure; 2. The staff reviews the submitted driver's license application form, ID proof, and driver's license; 3. The computer management system checks the applicant's accumulated demerit points and whether the license has been detained, suspended, revoked, or canceled. For renewals due to expiration, reaching the specified age, voluntary reduction of permitted vehicle types, or changes in driver's information, the system also checks for any unresolved traffic violations; 4. If all requirements are met, the application is accepted, relevant information is recorded, documents are stored, the 'acceptance officer' section on the application form is signed or stamped, and the new driver's license is produced and issued.

Will Unplugging a New Electric Car Mid-Charge Damage the Battery?

Unplugging a new electric car mid-charge can indeed damage the battery. For electric vehicles, the battery is the core component of the entire powertrain, making battery maintenance crucial. However, many users are quite casual when charging their electric cars. Frequent partial charging can severely impact the battery's lifespan. It's essential to monitor the battery level consistently, ensuring the electric vehicle always maintains sufficient charge. In other words, avoid over-discharging the battery to a depleted state, as this can cause significant damage. Therefore, if the electric vehicle is not in use, it's important to charge it at least once a month. Timely charging is vital.

What is a Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

A three-way catalytic converter is a crucial component for purifying exhaust emissions in gasoline-powered vehicles. Its substrate is a porous ceramic material installed within a specially designed exhaust pipe. The surface of this porous ceramic material is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, palladium, and rare earth coatings, which serve as the essential substances for the redox reactions of harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) (the substrate itself does not participate in the reaction). The primary function of the three-way catalytic converter is to convert these three harmful gases—CO, HC, and NOx—into non-toxic and harmless substances such as water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen (N₂), and oxygen (O₂).
