Car air pump makes a sound and then stops moving for the following reasons: The air pump engine cannot start: Washing the engine causes the distributor, ignition module, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, etc. to get wet, and the inertia switch is disconnected. Single/double cylinder damage of the air pump: The cylinder of the air pump is damaged. The performance of a double-cylinder car air pump is better than that of a single-cylinder one. When choosing a car air pump, the power of the air pump should be selected according to the vehicle type. Small cars can choose a single-cylinder low-power air pump. Large SUVs, off-road vehicles, and mid-to-large-sized cars are best suited for double-cylinder high-power air pumps.

Piston Ring Replacement Method?

Here are the steps for replacing piston rings: 1. For the twist ring, the inner circular groove should face upward, while the outer circular groove ring's groove should face downward. 2. The small end of the taper-faced ring should face upward. 3. For rings with inner circular chamfers, the chamfer should face upward. 4. For rings with outer circular chamfers, the chamfer should face downward. 5. Some piston rings are marked with "TOP" or "0", "△" symbols on one side. During installation, the marked side must face upward. 6. Barrel-faced rings or chrome-plated rings should be installed in the first groove. 7. When installing a composite steel oil ring, first insert the expander into the groove, then install the upper and lower scraper rails, ensuring their openings are staggered by 180°.

How to Tell if a Car is a Stock Vehicle When Buying?

Methods to identify a stock vehicle when purchasing a car are: 1. After a new car leaves the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires may deteriorate due to prolonged storage without periodic inspection and maintenance, leading to issues like moisture damage and aging. 2. For stock vehicles stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products cannot be detected without professional testing equipment. Many overstocked vehicles may experience oil or power shortages. Additional information: 1. The term "stock vehicle" is specific to the automotive sales industry, referring to new cars that have remained unsold for an extended period after leaving the factory. 2. Generally, cars that have been in storage for over three months or six months are considered stock vehicles. For imported cars, due to the time-consuming processes of transportation, customs declaration, and clearance, the threshold is more lenient, typically classifying them as stock vehicles if stored for over six months or a year.

Why Does the Car AC Blow Smelly Cold Air?

Foul odors from the car AC when blowing cold air may be caused by: 1. Dirty air conditioning ventilation ducts or a clogged cabin air filter. The cabin air filter should be replaced regularly, as an excessively dirty filter not only fails to function properly but also causes secondary pollution to the air entering the vehicle. To completely eliminate odors inside the car, it's essential to address the root cause. Under normal conditions, an OEM cabin air filter has a service life of one year or 30,000 kilometers. If the vehicle frequently operates in areas with poor air quality, the replacement interval should be shortened accordingly. 2. Long-term use of the AC evaporator can lead to mold growth due to moisture, resulting in unpleasant smells. Drivers should turn off the AC cooling 5 minutes before reaching their destination and switch to natural ventilation. This allows the temperature inside the AC ducts to return to normal before parking, preventing condensation due to temperature differences after turning off the engine. Keeping the AC ducts dry inhibits the growth of mold and fungi.
