Toyota Prado's ignition coil is located in the fuse box in the front engine compartment. The steps for removing and installing the ignition coil are as follows: 1. Open the ignition coil cover on top of the engine, and use a pentagon wrench to remove the ignition coil fixing screws. 2. Disconnect the ignition coil power plug, gently pry it up with a screwdriver, and remove the ignition coil. 3. Install the new ignition coil and tighten the screws, then reconnect the power plug and cover the top panel. The reasons why the Toyota Prado's ignition coil may fail to ignite are as follows: 1. The thermal effect of current damages the coil insulation inside the ignition coil. 2. The engine overheats, causing the coil insulation paint to melt and fail. 3. Excessive spark plug electrode gap increases the load on the ignition coil, causing the high-voltage coil to break down, resulting in a short circuit or open circuit. 4. A broken high-voltage wire leaves the generated high-voltage electricity with no path to flow, easily causing the high-voltage coil to break down.

What is the difference between a coupe and a sedan?

The differences between a coupe and a sedan are as follows: 1. Different number of seats: A coupe specifically refers to a two-door, two-seater sedan with a closed body and a streamlined rear. It has two doors instead of four, and two seats instead of four to five. A sedan refers to a vehicle used for transporting people and their personal belongings, with seats arranged between the two axles. Including the driver, the maximum number of seats does not exceed nine. 2. Different design focuses: A coupe emphasizes the comfort and handling of the driver, with a lower body and smooth exterior lines. A sedan emphasizes comfort, with a driver-centered design. From an economic perspective, it selects an engine with moderate horsepower, small displacement, and low fuel consumption.

What does ST mean on tires?

ST stands for trailer tires. In Europe and America, private cars often tow a trailer for transporting goods or traveling, and ST indicates the tires used for such trailers. ST is the abbreviation for sport trailer. Based on their structural composition, pneumatic tires can be divided into two types: tube tires and tubeless tires. Passenger cars commonly use tubeless tires. Depending on the arrangement of the internal cord plies and cushion layers, tires can also be categorized into radial tires and bias-ply tires. Radial tires are widely used in automobiles. Trailer tire specifications: Automobile tires can be classified into pneumatic tires and solid tires based on their carcass structure. Most modern vehicles use pneumatic tires. According to the internal air pressure, pneumatic tires can be divided into high-pressure tires, low-pressure tires, and ultra-low-pressure tires. Low-pressure tires are commonly used in various types of vehicles.

What does an average fuel consumption of 9.7L/100km mean?

An average fuel consumption of 9.7L/100km means the vehicle consumes 9.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers traveled, which calculates to 0.097L per kilometer. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Numerous factors influence a car's fuel consumption, including driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, etc. Additionally, the vehicle's exterior design impacts fuel efficiency - the lower the drag coefficient, the better the fuel economy. Primary factors directly affecting fuel consumption: The actual determinant of fuel consumption is how many engine strokes occur within specified time and distance parameters. Engine strokes refer to the engine's RPM. Therefore, only when both displacement and RPM are low will the vehicle achieve better fuel efficiency, as these factors are interrelated.

How to Solve Loud Car Engine Noise?

Solutions for loud car engine noise: 1. Check whether the oil pump, cooling system, and exhaust pipe are cracked; 2. Adjust the valves, check the engine oil pressure, and inspect the muffler and exhaust pipe for damage; 3. It is recommended to replace the engine oil and oil filter, and clean the engine. The main measures to eliminate engine noise include: 1. Reduce the load on the compressor, increase the axial clearance between the rotor and stator, change the number of blades, remove the inlet guide vanes, and select an appropriate compressor speed; 2. Reduce the exhaust velocity to decrease jet noise, such as increasing the flow ratio in a turbofan engine to lower the exhaust velocity; 3. Use corrugated and lobed nozzles to increase the contact area between the jet and external airflow, which can reduce jet mixing noise; 4. Apply sound-absorbing liner structures to the engine pipe walls.

Can a new car with ETC but no license plate drive on the highway?

A new car with ETC but no license plate cannot drive on the highway. Under normal circumstances, a new car cannot install ETC because it lacks information such as the license plate number. Generally, this situation occurs due to license plate replacement or loss. Precautions for installing ETC: The installation position of ETC should not obstruct the driver's view, as it may affect driving. The installation position should not interfere with the electronic tag's signal reception. If the electronic tag's signal is affected, the car may not be charged properly when driving in the ETC lane. ETC activation method: Bring the ETC device to the ETC service point or a highway self-operated business office, along with your ID card and vehicle license. The staff will connect the ETC device to the network for activation and take photos of the vehicle. Once activated, you can use the highway ETC payment service.
