In this case, the spark plugs should be replaced first, then check whether the fuel pressure is sufficient. If not, the fuel pump, fuel filter, and cleaning of the fuel injectors and throttle body are required. Reasons for automatic stalling: Electrical circuit failure: This possibility is that the car stalls due to low-voltage power failure while driving. At this time, you can mainly check the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. Low-voltage line short circuit causes stalling, which is intermittent in this case. Check the low-voltage lines. Component failure: This problem is generally related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car can start initially, but stalls after a while, then can start again, and stalls again. Fuel system failure: Fuel pump damage, fuel pipe rupture, carburetor fuel inlet blockage, or empty fuel tank. However, in this case, the car can be restarted.

I've experienced my Excelle stalling automatically several times while driving, which was really scary. The most likely issue is with the idle control system, such as excessive debris accumulation in the idle valve blocking airflow and causing sudden engine shutdown. You can try disassembling and cleaning it with a specialized spray cleaner for the valve body and passages, but if you lack tools and experience, it's better not to tamper with it; find a reliable repair shop to handle it. The fuel system is also critical—a clogged fuel filter can lead to insufficient fuel supply, while aged spark plugs or faulty ignition coils affect ignition stability. During inspection, first tighten the battery terminals and positive/negative cable connections to prevent loosening and oxidation. If these DIY steps don't help, it might be an issue with the mass airflow sensor or crankshaft position sensor, requiring a diagnostic scan tool to read trouble codes before replacing parts. Overall, stalling is no small matter—if it happens, pull over immediately, turn on hazard lights, and prioritize safety. Additionally, remember that using high-quality fuel and regular throttle body cleaning can significantly reduce such issues.

I also experienced stalling issues with my Excelle, feeling like a sudden loss of power. Common causes include loose or corroded battery terminals leading to unstable power supply; I once fixed it by tightening the terminals myself. Secondly, if the fuel filter hasn't been replaced for too long, carbon buildup can cause blockages, leading to fuel supply interruption; replacing a new filter is low-cost and simple. Additionally, a dirty throttle body can affect idle stability—you can buy some cleaner to spray, but avoid excessive force to prevent part damage. If stalling occurs with warning lights on, it might require checking sensors like oxygen sensor failure; in this case, professional diagnosis with a scan tool is needed. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the intake tract every 10,000 km and using high-quality fuel, can reduce risks. If stalling happens while driving, stay calm, try restarting, and call for assistance if unsuccessful.

My Excelle has stalled several times, especially at red lights. Priority checks for basic components: ensure the fuel tank has gas, the battery voltage is normal, and connections are tight. The main causes are burnt contacts on the fuel pump relay or aging of the idle motor. You can replace the relay yourself, but professional help is needed for the idle motor. Take timely action to avoid accidents.

What Causes a Car Battery to Keep Making Noise?

The noise emitted by a car battery is caused by oxygen generated at the positive electrode diffusing to the negative electrode, where it combines with hydrogen produced at the negative electrode to form water. Meanwhile, the internal pressure of the battery increases as uncombined gases accumulate until it reaches the pressure required to open the safety valve, releasing the gases and producing the sound. It's important to note that if the battery is fully charged and the noise occurs without any significant load, it is likely due to poor contact between the bolts and wires, resulting in a discharge phenomenon that produces a buzzing sound. If the noise occurs during charging, it is the sound of the electrolyte, which is a normal phenomenon. When facing a situation where the car battery makes a clicking sound after charging, it is recommended to first connect the charging device to start the battery. If the clicking sound persists and the battery fails to start, it is advisable to take it to a professional repair shop to inspect the starter. To prevent this situation, follow these charging guidelines: First, ensure full charging and shallow discharging. Do not wait until the battery is completely drained before charging; charge it whenever possible, and make sure to charge it fully each time. Second, the battery can be used after the indicator light changes, but it is best to continue charging for an additional hour before disconnecting the power, not exceeding 2 hours. Third, if the battery is not used for an extended period, ensure a full charge every 20 days or so. Fourth, if the indicator light does not change after 8 hours of charging, disconnect the power and have the battery inspected to determine whether the issue lies with the battery or the charger. Prompt repairs are necessary to prevent overcharging and swelling of the battery.

Where to Add Refrigerant Oil for Car Air Conditioning?

Car air conditioning systems are generally charged from the low-pressure side. Here is some relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), commonly referred to as car AC, is used to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle cabin to optimal conditions. It typically includes a refrigeration unit, heating unit, and ventilation system. This integrated system makes efficient use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and ease of operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally. 2. Maintenance methods for car air conditioning: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the AC system. When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, check the system thoroughly, such as inspecting the refrigerant level via the liquid storage tank, checking if the AC filter is too dirty, and whether there are any foreign objects in the radiator. Pay attention to cleaning the air conditioning system. The AC filter should be replaced regularly, and the condenser should also be cleaned periodically. After parking, do not turn off the air conditioning immediately. Drivers should turn off the cooling a few minutes before reaching the destination and switch to natural air to allow the temperature inside the AC ducts to rise, eliminating the temperature difference with the outside environment. This helps maintain relative dryness in the AC system, preventing mold growth.

What is the recommended speed for making a U-turn?

When making a U-turn, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and you must turn on the left turn signal in advance without obstructing other normally moving vehicles or pedestrians. Permissible situations for making a U-turn: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs: If there is no clear prohibition against U-turns, you can make one. "No explicit prohibition" means the intersection lacks signs like "No U-turn," "No Left Turn," or solid center lines, allowing you to proceed confidently. Yellow grid lines also permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other necessary locations. Parking (including waiting for traffic lights) on these lines is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there are no central barriers, effectively treating them as "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn light, follow it; proceed only on green. Simultaneous no-left-turn and U-turn-allowed signs: This means U-turns are allowed but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Key considerations when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check road markings—if they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even without a "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are still prohibited at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to through traffic and only make a U-turn if it does not interfere with their movement. Otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows for vehicle direction. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow—if it shows a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit "No U-turn" signs.

What is the reason why the wiper of the new CRV cannot be turned off?

New CRV wipers cannot be turned off because the wiper is in automatic mode. The following is a related introduction about the wiper: Spraying windshield washer fluid: When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield surface on a sunny day, be sure to spray windshield washer fluid and do not wipe dry. Hard dirt should be cleaned by hand: If there are other stubborn and hard dirt on the glass, it should be cleaned manually. These things can easily damage the wiper blade, causing the wiper to not clean properly. In severe cases, the wiper motor may also be affected. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or daily cleaning, hold the "back" of the wiper and gently return it. Do not snap the wiper blade back suddenly.
