When there is water in the gasoline, the car may exhibit symptoms such as abnormal engine shaking, weak acceleration, and difficulty starting. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Abnormal engine shaking: Abnormal engine shaking occurs when the fuel and gas in the engine cylinders do not mix and burn properly, which can be caused by water in the gasoline, severe engine carbon buildup, excessively high engine temperature, or clogged fuel lines. 2. Weak acceleration: Gasoline-powered cars rely on burning gasoline to drive the engine and propel the vehicle. If there is water in the gasoline, it fundamentally disrupts the car's power system, leading to symptoms of weak acceleration. 3. Difficulty starting: Water in the gasoline makes it harder for the spark plugs to ignite the fuel properly during startup, resulting in issues such as difficulty starting or failure to start the car.

Can 92 Ethanol Gasoline and 92 Regular Gasoline Be Mixed?

92 ethanol gasoline and 92 regular gasoline can be mixed temporarily without causing significant harm to the vehicle. However, long-term mixing may have certain impacts. Below is more information about 92 ethanol and 92 gasoline: 1. Ethanol gasoline is a new alternative energy source formed by blending fuel ethanol (processed from grains and various plant fibers) with regular gasoline in a specific ratio. According to China's national standards, ethanol gasoline consists of 90% regular gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol. Ethanol is a renewable energy source, produced through the fermentation of crops such as sorghum, corn, and potatoes. 2. 92 gasoline refers to gasoline with an octane rating of 92, suitable for mid-range vehicles. Considering the current production, storage, transportation, and usage of gasoline products, as well as the technological transformation needs of oil product manufacturers and vehicle emission control requirements, its main indicators are comparable to current European standards. It meets the requirements of China's Phase V vehicle pollutant emission standards, helps reduce vehicle emissions, and plays a significant role in environmental protection and improving air quality.

What does the M gear mean?

m gear is the manual mode of an automatic transmission. When the driver manually pushes the gear lever to M+ or M-, it sends commands to the transmission computer to upshift or downshift. The computer then controls the transmission to shift gears as required, simulating the feeling of manual shifting. The techniques for using the M gear in a manual-automatic transmission are as follows: 1. Downshifting to overtake: When overtaking, if in D gear, the vehicle speed will not increase rapidly by pressing the accelerator hard, and you can only overtake by sequentially upshifting. However, when switching to M gear and pressing the accelerator, the vehicle can utilize the high torque of a lower gear to accelerate instantly, completing the overtaking action more quickly. 2. Descending a slope: When going down a long slope, if driving an automatic transmission, the vehicle speed will uncontrollably keep increasing, and you can only apply the brakes at the right time while coasting. But if you engage the manual mode when descending a slope and pull the gear lever backward to shift into a lower gear, you can fully utilize engine braking to reduce speed. When reaching the bottom of the slope, you can quickly upshift or switch back to automatic mode, resuming normal driving promptly. 3. Ascending a slope: Use the manual mode of the manual-automatic transmission to limit the gear to 1st to handle frequent slope starts. This operation also protects the transmission.

Can a Leaking Car Shock Absorber Be Repaired?

If a car shock absorber is leaking or deformed, it generally cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced entirely, as there are no individual repair parts or tools available for purchase. If damaged, it should be replaced promptly. There are several methods to inspect faults in car shock absorbers: 1. Drive the car on rough road conditions for 10km, then stop and touch the shock absorber housing. If it is not hot enough, it indicates there is no internal resistance, meaning the shock absorber is not working. In this case, add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil and test again. If the housing becomes hot, it means the shock absorber lacks oil internally and should be refilled. Otherwise, the shock absorber has failed. 2. Press down hard on the bumper and then release it. If the car bounces 2-3 times, the shock absorber is working well. 3. If the car vibrates severely during slow driving followed by emergency braking, the shock absorber may have issues. 4. Remove the shock absorber, stand it upright, and clamp the lower connecting ring in a vise. Pull and press the shock absorber rod several times with force. There should be stable resistance, with the upward pull resistance greater than the downward press resistance. If the resistance is unstable or absent, the shock absorber may lack oil internally or have damaged valve components, requiring repair or part replacement.

Can a Temporary ID Card Be Used for the Subject 1 Exam?

A temporary ID card can be used for the exam. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. If you do not have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary one, which holds the same validity as a regular ID card. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 exam can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and you can only reschedule it after ten days. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 Exam Content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Exam Notes: During the exam, candidates must pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. At the identity verification station, you will be assigned a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two components: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (e.g., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123).
