What Causes the Envision's Engine Malfunction Light to Illuminate and the Car to Fail to Start?

Envision's engine malfunction light illuminating and the car failing to start could be due to poor gasoline quality, oxygen sensor failure, spark plug carbon buildup, and other reasons. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: Poor Gasoline Quality: This is usually caused by filling up with low-quality gasoline at non-standard gas stations, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture during engine operation, which triggers the engine malfunction light. Solution: Use higher-quality fuel. Oxygen Sensor Failure: Damage to the oxygen sensor or its connector, or loose connections, can cause the air-fuel mixture to become too lean or too rich, resulting in the malfunction light illuminating. Solution: Perform repairs. Spark Plug Carbon Buildup: Carbon buildup on spark plugs can lead to poor engine performance, manifesting as difficulty starting, unstable idling, poor acceleration, backfiring during rapid acceleration, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption. Solution: Address the issue promptly.

What transmission oil is suitable for BMW Mini 1.5T?

BMW Mini 1.5T can use transmission oils from Castrol, Shell, or Mobil. Automatic transmission oil replacement interval: Generally, automatic transmission oil should be replaced every two years or every 60,000 kilometers. Atmospheric pressure alone cannot completely drain the old transmission oil, typically removing only about half of the used oil. The remaining fluid accumulates with sludge and impurities in the valve body, torque converter, and cooling lines, potentially causing blockages in the internal oil passages. Additionally, it's necessary to inspect whether the transmission pan is deformed or if there are any oil leaks in the transmission lines. Functions of transmission oil: Transmission oil is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the exhaust system, providing lubrication to extend the lifespan of transmission components. It offers effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces oil loss under severe operating conditions.

Why does the Nissan Qashqai suddenly fail to start but still has power?

There are many reasons why the Nissan Qashqai suddenly fails to start but still has power. Below is a detailed explanation of the situation where the Nissan Qashqai suddenly fails to start: 1. Specific reasons: The engine starts by relying on the battery current to push the spark plug to ignite. There may be two main reasons why the engine suddenly fails to start. It could be due to rust or leakage in the battery, or the engine spark plug getting wet on rainy days. 2. Maintenance methods: Check the battery fluid level every one to two months to ensure it is sufficient. The fluid level is considered appropriate if it is between the upper and lower two marked lines. Also, check the fluid level difference in each cell. If the fluid level is insufficient, unscrew the cap on the battery and add distilled water to replenish the fluid level. Additionally, inspect the battery terminals and use a wire brush to remove any accumulated dirt on the terminals.
