The reason for the EPC light coming on while driving and then turning off after restarting is: Dirty throttle body: The EPC light mainly illuminates due to a dirty throttle body; Solution: In this case, simply cleaning the throttle body and then performing a reset can resolve the issue. Faulty intake system: If there is a fault in the intake system, the engine will detect this fault after starting and illuminate the EPC warning light. Solution: This situation requires inspection and repair at a service station. The main reasons for the engine fault light coming on are excessive carbon deposits in the throttle body or inside the engine, and a malfunctioning oxygen sensor causing an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture, which easily triggers the engine fault light. If the fault light comes on in a new car, it is usually due to the use of lower-grade fuel.

What to Do if the Lingpai Turbocharger Fails?

The causes of oil leakage in the turbocharger include engine oil seepage and leakage at the compressor end of the turbocharger. Below are detailed explanations of the causes and solutions: 1. Engine oil seepage: High oil consumption, but normal exhaust color and no reduction in power; usually caused by oil seepage. Solution: Check the external oil pipes of the engine lubrication system for leaks. 2. Leakage at the compressor end of the turbocharger: High oil consumption, blue smoke from the exhaust, but no decrease in power; due to leakage at the compressor end, oil enters the combustion chamber through the engine intake pipe and is burned. If the turbocharger oil return pipe is blocked, excessive oil accumulates at the intermediate support of the rotor assembly and flows along the rotor shaft into the compressor impeller. Solution: Open the outlet of the compressor or the engine intake pipe to check if the pipe opening or wall is coated with oil.
