The working principle of the engine oil pressure sensor is: 1. The amplified pressure signal is connected to the oil pressure gauge through the signal line, changing the current ratio between the two coils inside the oil pressure gauge, thereby indicating the engine's oil pressure; 2. The pressure signal, after voltage and current amplification, is also compared with the alarm voltage set in the alarm circuit. When it falls below the alarm voltage, the alarm circuit outputs an alarm signal and lights up the warning light through the alarm line. The solutions for excessively high engine oil pressure are: 1. Adjust the clearance between the shaft neck and bearing of the pressure lubrication part; 2. Clean the oil pipes and oil passages, and maintain the filter; 3. Select the appropriate oil grade; 4. Replace the oil with the appropriate viscosity; 5. Check and adjust the pressure relief valve on the oil pump test bench to ensure the oil pressure meets the specified requirements.

What are the symptoms of a stretched car timing chain?

Generally, when the timing chain is stretched, there will be abnormal noises. Continuing to drive may easily cause the chain to skip teeth, resulting in incorrect ignition timing, increased engine fuel consumption, and reduced power. If the stretching becomes more severe, the engine may experience chain skipping during high-speed operation or sudden acceleration, which could lead to engine failure.

What are the steps for testing automotive fuel pressure?

First, remove the fuel pump fuse, relay, or fuel pump plug, then start the engine. After the engine stalls, restart it 2-3 times, and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the fuel pressure gauge in series to the fuel inlet pipe. For vehicles with a pressure test port, connect the fuel pressure gauge to the test port. Place a towel under the connection when removing fuel pipes. Test static fuel pressure, idle fuel pressure, maximum fuel pressure, and residual fuel pressure.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioner Is Noisy at Maximum Airflow?

If the noise is caused by a damaged fan bearing, generally replacing the damaged component will suffice. If the noise is due to a deformed exhaust fan blade or a damaged exhaust fan motor, then the exhaust fan needs to be replaced. If the noise is caused by excessive dirt inside the air conditioner, then the air conditioner needs to be cleaned. If the fan is damaged, then the fan needs to be repaired.
