Where is the Geely Emgrand Igniter Located?

Geely Emgrand's igniter is located below the right side of the steering wheel. Below is an introduction to common igniter failure causes: 1. Sudden engine stalling occurs during igniter use without obvious pattern. Replacing the contact points eliminates the fault. This usually indicates poor igniter circuit connections, wire damage causing grounding, etc. 2. After prolonged driving, unstable operation or stalling occurs. After cooling, normal operation resumes. Using contact points doesn't exhibit this issue. This typically indicates high-speed misfiring in the igniter chip, requiring igniter replacement. 3. Vehicle operates normally before igniter installation, but exhibits unstable idle and severe engine vibration during acceleration after installation and debugging, sometimes accompanied by backfiring from the exhaust. No improvement after ignition timing adjustment usually indicates reversed sensor red/black wires. 4. Difficulty starting with igniter in cold weather, while contact points allow normal starting. Push-starting or towing can start the engine. Usually caused by excessive sensor gap. If gap is normal, observe starter motor rotation during starting - if too slow, possible causes include motor brush wear, weak battery, or poor grounding connection.

When asked about the location of the Geely Emgrand's igniter, the first reaction is actually easy to confuse—if by igniter you mean the cigarette lighter socket, it's in the storage compartment in front of the gear lever, used for plugging in phone chargers or dash cams. But if you're referring to the ignition coil, the core component of the engine's ignition system, you'll need to pop the hood: in the Geely Emgrand's engine bay, the ignition coils are usually mounted directly on top of the engine block, one per cylinder—cylindrical black components connected to high-voltage wiring harnesses. If the engine is shaking and the check engine light is on, it's likely an issue with these. From my own experience replacing them, remember to press the clip when unplugging the connector—don't yank it forcefully. Align the new coil with the spark plug hole and press it in gently; don't overtighten the screws as they can crack! Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any work.

I guess you're looking to replace the Emgrand's ignition coils? Those parts are actually right on top of the engine - you can spot them immediately when you open the hood: four square modules with wires attached, corresponding to the four spark plug holes. The ignition coils for the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine are vertically inserted next to the intake manifold, and they're not too difficult to remove. It's advisable to first determine which cylinder is misfiring before proceeding, otherwise you might end up replacing the wrong one and wasting your effort. Here's a testing trick: with the engine running, unplug each coil connector one by one - the one that causes increased vibration when unplugged is the faulty one. Doing it yourself can save you about a hundred bucks in labor costs, but make sure to buy genuine OEM parts, as aftermarket ones might not last. A 10mm socket and a ratchet wrench are all the tools you'll need.

The location of the Emgrand ignition coil is very easy to find, right on top of the engine. During operation: Pull the hood release, lift the engine cover, and you'll see a black module group with four wiring harnesses. The one covered with a silver metal sheet is it. Don't get confused by the wires—it connects directly to the spark plugs underneath. A common issue is aging rubber sleeves causing electrical leakage and misfires, indicated by a flashing yellow engine light on the dashboard. If you're handy, you can buy an aftermarket part for around 80 RMB on Taobao (model DR03 will do), but make sure the connector colors match exactly when plugging in the wires! Using needle-nose pliers to pull the high-voltage wires makes the job easier.

How to Use the Auto Start-Stop Function in Manual Transmission Cars?

Manual transmission auto start-stop function usage is as follows: 1. In manual transmission vehicles, the auto start-stop system will shut off the engine automatically when detecting these three conditions: engine idling in neutral gear; wheel speed detected as zero; battery having sufficient power to restart the engine. 2. The engine will immediately restart when the driver presses the clutch pedal, or when automatic transmission vehicles release the brake or turn the steering wheel. 3. Auto start-stop is enabled by default. Vehicles equipped with this function will automatically shut off during temporary stops while driving; the engine will automatically restart after key ignition or push-button start.

How to Identify China VI Emission Standard?

There are two methods to identify the China VI emission standard: 1. Check the vehicle conformity certificate: The vehicle's conformity certificate can only be viewed after taking delivery of the car, so this method is not very practical. 2. Check environmental protection information: (1) First, locate the vehicle nameplate near the B-pillar on the passenger side. It contains basic vehicle information. Note down two crucial details: the vehicle model number and the engine model number. Then, search online by opening the 'Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Information Disclosure Website' and enter the engine model number to search for the corresponding vehicle model number. (2) Once the model numbers match, you can view detailed information. The emission standard will be clearly stated in the information section.

The display will then show the remaining distance and time until the next maintenance. Press and hold the OK button again until it displays 5000 km/six months. Here are some additional details: 1. Not all vehicles have a maintenance light function. For vehicles equipped with this feature, the manufacturer sets a default value at the factory. When the vehicle reaches a certain mileage, the "wrench" symbol will appear. 2. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder information after maintenance is completed, essentially performing an information reset.

How long can a paint protection film normally last?

Paint protection film can normally last for 2 years. Here is some information about paint protection film: 1. There are currently three popular materials used for paint protection film on the market: PVC, TPH (a softened version of PVC), and TPU. 2. Each of these three types of paint protection film has its own advantages and disadvantages. PVC material tends to yellow and harden, leaving a lot of adhesive residue when removed, typically lasting about half a year; TPH is softer and more easily damaged, with a lifespan of 1-2 years; TPU is durable, resistant to yellowing, and has strong self-healing capabilities, lasting 5-10 years.
