The main reasons why a car fails to start after stalling are as follows: 1. Due to fuel injector leakage or a damaged carbon canister solenoid valve, causing an overly rich air-fuel mixture, or issues with the intake air temperature sensor. 2. Fuel quality problems or engine carbon buildup leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture. Extended content: The correct method to start a car is: First observe your ignition keyhole, which generally has four positions! They are "LOCK", "ACC", "ON", and "START". These positions need to be turned progressively - you must never turn directly from "LOCK" to "START" position, as instantaneous power supply can cause significant impact to the car's battery. The battery cannot instantly bear such a large load and may damage the vehicle's electrical system or electronic components. Therefore, you should slowly turn the key, allowing the vehicle's electrical accessories to enter their operational states one by one, thereby easing the battery's power supply pressure.

What to Do When the Car Key Gets Stuck and Won't Come Out?

When the car key gets stuck and won't come out, the solutions are: 1. Turn the key with your right hand while gently shaking the steering wheel in different directions with your left hand; 2. Start the car, shift the gear back to P position, and the key can then be removed. The reasons why the car key gets stuck are: 1. The steering wheel was not properly aligned when the car was last parked, causing abnormal locking of the steering wheel; 2. The automatic transmission was not properly returned to the P position. Car keys utilize the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing doors to be opened and locked from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. The basic principle of a car key is: it emits a weak radio wave from the owner, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator performs the locking or unlocking action.

Why does the car shake at idle?

Here are the reasons why the car shakes at idle: 1. The temperature inside the engine is insufficient, and the temperatures of both fuel and lubricating oil are low. When the water temperature is low, it is considered a cold start. The engine noise is loud, especially in winter, sounding like a tractor, and the vibration is significant. This condition improves when the engine warms up, which is a normal phenomenon. This is because combustion and lubrication are poor during cold starts, the idle speed is higher when cold, and lower when warm. Poor combustion can easily lead to carbon buildup, causing the exhaust pipe to turn black. Some cars may emit blue smoke for the first few seconds, which is a sign of oil burning and is considered normal. 2. Uneven cylinder pressure or excessive carbon buildup on the intake valves and intake manifold. 3. Poor fuel injection due to excessive carbon deposits inside the fuel injector.

Where is the cigarette lighter located in the 2020 Emgrand?

The cigarette lighter in the 2020 Emgrand is located behind the center armrest of the driver's seat. How to use the cigarette lighter: First, locate the cigarette lighter button, which is a round button with a cigarette icon (or voltage value) on it. Press the button to automatically heat it up. When the heating is complete, it will pop out, and you will hear a popping sound. Take the popped-out side and use the other side to light the cigarette by touching it to the end of the cigarette for a few seconds. Precautions for the car cigarette lighter: The general maximum power capacity of the cigarette lighter is 120W. Exceeding this value can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the lighter. Therefore, when using external devices, always check the maximum power and try to use it at less than 120W.

What is the maximum size that 2155517 can be replaced with?

Without changing the steel rim, the maximum size that can be replaced is 225/50R17. The original car has 215/55R17, which is a 17-inch 7.0J rim, supporting three section widths: 205, 215, and 225. Therefore, without changing the rim, the maximum section width can be increased to 225. The 17-inch diameter cannot be altered. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Improve vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, enhancing the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capability. Together with the car suspension, they mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations. 2. Prevent early damage to car components: Car tires prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
