The differences between combined injection and direct injection are as follows: 1. Different engine systems. The most critical system of a direct injection engine is the high-pressure fuel injection system, which mainly consists of four parts: the engine control module (ECM), high-pressure fuel rail, high-pressure fuel pump, and fuel injector. A combined injection engine has both direct injection and manifold injection systems. 2. Different fuel injection methods. Direct injection is a technology that directly injects fuel into the cylinder to mix with the intake air, while combined injection combines the advantages of manifold injection and direct injection. Under low-load conditions, the manifold injector sprays fuel during the cylinder's intake stroke, allowing the mixture to enter the cylinder, and then the cylinder injector sprays fuel during the compression stroke to achieve stratified combustion. Under high-load conditions, only direct injection is performed during the compression stroke, thereby improving the engine's efficiency and avoiding the emission issues caused by excessive oxygen under low-load conditions in direct injection engines. 3. Different costs. Since a combined injection engine integrates both direct injection and manifold injection systems, with two sets of fuel pumps and fuel supply pipelines, its cost is significantly higher than that of a direct injection engine.

How to Distinguish Emission Standards for Sedans?

You can check the vehicle emission standards through the following methods: 1. Look at the label sticker behind the vehicle's environmental protection qualification mark to easily view the emission standard; 2. The vehicle certification mark starts with this page, which includes an emission standard description, but it is not directly written as National Standard X. Instead, it is a string of characters. You can then search online for the meaning of this string; 3. You can estimate the vehicle's emission standard based on its model year or verify it by bringing the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office. Here is additional information: According to the new regulations issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, starting from July 1, 2020, all newly sold and registered vehicles must comply with the China 6a standard; from July 1, 2023, all newly sold and registered vehicles must comply with the China 6b standard.

How to Adjust Unequal Left and Right Kingpin Inclination Angles?

Different suspension designs have varying definition points for the kingpin inclination angle. For MacPherson suspensions, the caster angle is defined by the suspension's top mount (hard point) and the steering knuckle, while for double-wishbone suspensions, it is defined by the spherical universal joints at the upper and lower ends of the steering knuckle. The kingpin inclination angle is the central rotation axis when the tire rotates. Additional information: 1. When viewed from the side of the vehicle, if the kingpin is tilted backward, it is a positive caster angle (positive-caster); if tilted forward, it is a negative caster angle (negative-caster). 2. The kingpin inclination angle primarily affects handling in two ways: first, its impact on the camber angle, and second, steering feedback and straight-line stability. Regarding the camber effect, assuming a positive caster angle, during steering, the inner half-shaft moves downward relative to the road surface, while the outer half-shaft moves upward. Thus, the kingpin can be considered the rotation center of the wheel hub. 3. Different suspension designs require different methods to adjust the kingpin angle. For MacPherson suspensions, adjustments are made by altering the hard point (top mount), whereas for double-wishbone suspensions, shims are added to the upper control arm for adjustment.

What is the best way to start a car with push-button start?

The following are the best steps to start a car with push-button start: 1. First, after the driver sits in the driver's seat, press the start button once to turn on the ACC light, then press it again to initiate the vehicle's self-check; 2. Second, press the brake pedal and push the start button to ignite the engine; 3. Third, release the foot brake and choose to warm up the car (the warm-up time depends on the vehicle model and ambient temperature, but avoid sudden acceleration and braking in low-temperature conditions); 4. Fourth, press the brake pedal again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly); 5. Fifth, slowly release the foot brake, gently press the accelerator, and complete the start.

What are the items for the second maintenance of a new car?

The second maintenance items for a new car generally include changing the engine oil, replacing the oil filter, replacing the air filter, and replacing the cabin air filter. Here are the detailed introductions: 1. The maintenance of a car mainly involves replacing some wear-prone parts and fluids. There are many wear-prone parts on a car, such as tires, brake pads, brake discs, shock absorbers, wipers, belts, spark plugs, ignition coils, and various filters. The fluids in a car include transmission fluid, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. 2. The most frequently replaced item is the engine oil, which is referred to as the blood of the engine. Engine oil serves the functions of lubrication, cleaning, sealing, and heat dissipation within the engine. Every time the engine oil is changed, the oil filter should be replaced as well. When purchasing an oil filter, it is essential to choose products from reputable brands. Inferior filters have poor filtration effects, and prolonged use can damage the engine. Some cars' oil filters come with a sealing ring, which needs to be replaced every time the filter is changed.

Does Enabling Hidden Features Affect the Car?

Enabling hidden features in a car does have an impact. It not only increases fuel consumption but also reduces the engine's lifespan and accelerates the aging of other vehicle components. Additional Information: 1. Enabling Hidden Features (Specifically ECU) The ECU (Engine Control Unit) is the control module of the car's computer, an intelligent program that manages the engine's operation. It primarily regulates the engine's air intake, fuel injection, and ignition timing—three key factors that directly influence the engine's power output, torque, and operational efficiency. 2. Advantages: It can unleash the additional power reserved by the manufacturer, resulting in smoother power delivery. For some low-displacement vehicles, the issue of jerking during low-gear shifts can be significantly improved. Additionally, turbocharged models can benefit from earlier turbo engagement through ECU tuning, enhancing low-end torque performance and, to some extent, improving fuel efficiency. 3. Disadvantages: While ECU tuning can boost performance, it also strains the engine, leading to a reduced lifespan. During the tuning process, higher-grade components may need to be installed to accommodate the increased performance. Otherwise, minor issues could lead to vehicle malfunctions, while severe cases might cause engine damage or even safety hazards like vehicle fires.
