What Causes the Engine to Stall When the Choke Valve is Opened?

When the gasoline engine stalls immediately after opening the choke valve, it indicates that the engine temperature is too low to rise properly. In such cases, the choke valve should be partially closed to increase the fuel-air mixture concentration. If the engine stalls upon opening the choke valve, it suggests that the cylinder cannot heat up or that components are not operating smoothly, requiring a very rich fuel-air mixture to forcibly sustain operation. If excessively low ambient temperature is ruled out, check the lubricating oil and replace it if it has deteriorated. Below is an extended explanation: The function of the choke valve: Starting the engine in winter can feel very difficult. Especially in the morning, it can be quite perplexing. In fact, winter starting difficulties mainly occur in carburetor-equipped engines. During the design of such engines, consideration was given to the fact that gasoline does not evaporate easily in winter, making starting difficult. Hence, the choke valve was specifically designed. The choke valve reduces the amount of air entering the carburetor intake, increases the fuel pressure at the nozzle, and enriches the air-fuel mixture. This makes starting the engine easier.

Can Aluminum Alloy Wheels Be Repaired?

Aluminum alloy wheels with minor deformations can be repaired. Below is an introduction to the methods for repairing car wheels: 1. First, inspect the scratches on the wheel: If the scratches are minor or have not damaged the inner side of the wheel, the owner can use paint thinner for a simple repair. Simply wiping the area around the scratch to remove dirt can achieve a certain level of repair. Although it won't be as good as a new wheel, it can save a significant amount of money. 2. Different approaches should be taken based on the size of the scratch: If the owner finds that the scratch is too deep, they should first check whether the metal surface is exposed. If the metal surface is visible, the owner should take the wheel to a repair shop for professional repair. If the metal is not visible, rusting won't occur. The owner should first remove the dirt and then slowly apply touch-up paint. The car can only be driven normally after the paint has completely dried. Afterward, the wheel should be cleaned weekly. 3. Wax should be applied after wheel repair: After applying the paint, use a polishing compound to restore the shine, then apply the appropriate wax to achieve a bright and shiny wheel.

How to Charge New Energy Electric Vehicles?

There are three ways to charge new energy electric vehicles: public charging pile charging, home charging pile charging, and portable charging: 1. Public charging pile charging is usually divided into fast charging and slow charging. Fast charging provides more power and takes less time, while slow charging provides relatively less power and takes longer; 2. Portable charging refers to using the portable charging cable that comes with the vehicle to connect to a regular household socket for charging. It can be charged wherever there is a socket, but the charging speed is relatively slow; 3. Home charging pile charging requires installing a charging pile in front of the home. Installing a charging station requires communication with the property management to see if the community regulations allow the installation of a charging pile. After obtaining the property management's approval, it also needs the consent of the fire department and civil defense office, followed by an on-site inspection by the power supply department. Only after all these steps are completed can the installation proceed. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

Why Can't New Energy Vehicles Charge?

Reasons why new energy vehicles cannot charge: 1. The fuse inside the battery is broken, in which case only the fuse inside the battery can be replaced; 2. Poor contact, such as poor contact between the fuse tube and the fuse holder, poor contact between the plug and socket, poor contact between the charger and power source, etc., all of which can affect the normal charging of the electric vehicle, leading to the battery not charging or not charging fully; 3. Poor contact of the plug-ins inside the battery, mainly due to problems with the connection between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. You can try re-plugging or replacing the wires. If it still doesn't work, you can only go to a 4S shop for repair; 4. The battery has reached the end of its lifespan. The lifespan of a battery is about 5 years, but if there are often incorrect charging methods, it can lead to the battery being scrapped prematurely. It is recommended to replace the battery. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new vehicle power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, forming vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

What does ETC mean in cars?

ETC in cars stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, dedicated short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. This utilizes computer networking technology to process background settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while paying the required fees. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improves efficiency: The efficiency of passing through ETC lanes can theoretically increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What does it mean when the car indicates that the engine oil needs to be replaced soon?

When the car dashboard indicates that the engine oil needs to be replaced soon, it is a reminder for car maintenance, which is not directly related to the engine oil itself. Simply put, the car is reminding the owner that it's time to change the engine oil as part of the scheduled maintenance. When the car leaves the factory, the manufacturer sets a specific parameter. Once the car reaches the required mileage, it will trigger a prompt to remind the owner to perform maintenance. To clear the engine oil replacement reminder, you can choose to go for maintenance. During the maintenance visit, a specialized computer system at the 4S dealership can be used to cancel the prompt. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, charging, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance areas. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. If you don’t develop the habit of regular car maintenance, it can lead to significant wear and tear on the car and also affect its appearance. Reasonable and regular car maintenance ensures that the car remains in optimal condition in all aspects, providing better service to the driver and passengers.
