I'm the kind of guy who spends all day on car forums, and the Buick SGM7168ATA is definitely a classic. It's the 1.6-liter automatic version of the Buick Excelle, produced by Shanghai GM, positioned as a compact family sedan. This car uses a 1.6L displacement engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, with an overall design leaning towards practicality and comfort. I remember it sold quite well in the Chinese market. It drives smoothly and is fuel-efficient, making it very suitable for city commuting, though it feels a bit sluggish in acceleration and requires deeper throttle input when climbing hills. The fuel consumption is also decent, around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it an economical choice. Unfortunately, it's now discontinued, and what you can find are used cars. Maintenance isn't troublesome either, as parts are readily available in the market.

What are the reasons why the Tiggo 5 has power but won't start?

Tiggo 5 has power but won't start for the following reasons: 1. Check if the battery voltage is too low: You can turn on the headlights and some electrical devices to observe whether there are noticeable changes in the brightness of the dashboard and interior lighting during the starting process. If they dim, it indicates that the battery voltage is still insufficient. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold: Too much carbon buildup on the throttle body, idle speed motor, etc., prevents the engine's air-fuel mixture from reaching the required ratio, causing the vehicle to fail to start. The repeated engagement of the magnetic pack and starter relay produces a clicking sound. 3. Insufficient fuel supply from the fuel system: This phenomenon is essentially similar to excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold, also preventing the engine from achieving the required air-fuel mixture ratio, resulting in the vehicle's inability to start.

What are the requirements for the Foshan license plate lottery?

In the Foshan area, local vehicle registration does not require a lottery. There are two methods for vehicle registration: 1. Directly selecting a license plate online; 2. On-site "50 choose 1" at the local vehicle management office. For non-local vehicles wanting to register in Foshan, a local property ownership certificate or residence permit is required. Online plate selection only provides number-letter-number combination plates, with two selection methods: random selection and self-composed selection. Random selection is divided into five groups, with ten plates in each group. Self-composed selection allows up to five self-composed plates at a time, with a total of twenty opportunities. Whether selecting online or on-site, registration at the vehicle management office must be completed within three days, otherwise the selected plate will be invalidated, and the owner cannot select plates online for two years, only being able to use the "50 choose 1" method at the local vehicle management office.

What are the reasons for the automatic shutdown of Tiggo 5?

1. Battery issues: Due to the end of the battery's service life, the battery capacity and output voltage decrease, which can directly lead to abnormal starter operation, low voltage, and the engine spark plug failing to generate sparks. In severe cases, the engine may shut down and experience difficulty starting. 2. Vehicle high-voltage circuit failure: After ruling out the issues mentioned in point 1, priority should be given to checking whether the high-voltage circuit has problems such as aging, detachment, short circuit, or open circuit. 3. Engine fuel supply blockage: Abnormal fuel supply can cause interruption of the engine stroke, or severe carbon deposits or erosion in the cylinder spark plug, leading to unstable sparks and difficulty in engine starting. The engine may also shut down abnormally when the throttle changes.

What are the reasons for the sudden loss of power while driving a Tiggo 5?

The reasons for the sudden loss of power while driving a Tiggo 5 are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing can also lead to such faults. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience body shaking, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can also cause body shaking.

Why Does the Mercedes-Benz Engine Warning Light Illuminate?

Sensor malfunctions, vehicle maintenance issues, fuel and oil quality problems, poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, engine intake issues, turbocharging problems, exhaust system faults, and anti-theft system malfunctions are the primary reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate. Additionally, during vehicle startup, the car performs a self-diagnostic check on the engine system. Normally, the engine warning light should turn off after the self-check is completed. If it remains on for an extended period, it is advisable to promptly visit a service center for professional assistance to diagnose and eliminate potential safety hazards. Below is a detailed explanation of each type of fault: Sensor Issues: Sensors include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors, among others. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the engine warning light. In such cases, it is essential to seek professional inspection at a service center to promptly address safety risks. Maintenance Issues: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light illuminating. Vehicles have specific maintenance schedules, and failure to adhere to them, combined with poor driving habits, can increase the engine's operational burden, eventually causing the engine warning light to activate as a reminder of a fault. Fuel and Oil Quality Issues: This refers to both fuel and engine oil. The fuel used in cars typically has a specific octane rating, while engine oil can be semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers usually recommend the appropriate fuel octane and oil type for the vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations over time can lead to engine wear, triggering the warning light. Always use the recommended fuel octane and engine oil grade for your vehicle. Poor Combustion of the Air-Fuel Mixture: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine. This leads to engine carbon buildup or knocking, which the oxygen sensor detects and reports to the ECU, resulting in the illumination of the warning light. Intake Issues: Engine combustion requires proper air intake, making the air filter crucial. A dirty or uncleaned air filter can restrict airflow, potentially causing blockages over time. Severe cases may trigger the engine warning light. Turbocharging Issues: Problems with the intake boost pipes or turbocharger can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Exhaust System Issues: Faults in the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings can trigger the engine warning light. The catalytic converter is particularly prone to failure due to factors such as using leaded gasoline, lead- or silicon-based oil additives, physical damage, or fuel system malfunctions. Anti-Theft System: If the electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or the anti-theft controller is incompatible with the engine control unit, the engine may fail to operate correctly, and the warning light may illuminate. Solutions for an Illuminated Engine Warning Light: If the engine warning light is on and the car cannot start, this may be due to a faulty fuel pump or ignition components. It is recommended to call for assistance immediately. If the engine warning light is on but the vehicle is drivable, yet experiences severe shaking or loss of acceleration, pull over safely and call for roadside assistance. If the engine warning light is on but no abnormal driving symptoms are present, it may indicate a faulty sensor. In this case, you can continue driving cautiously at low to moderate speeds but should visit a repair shop as soon as possible to address the issue.
