Why does an automatic transmission car not move when shifted to D gear and accelerating?

The main reasons why an automatic transmission car does not move when shifted to D gear and accelerating are: 1. When the transmission shift valve position sensor signal is incorrect: it cannot sense which gear it is in. 2. Problems with the shift valve: the gear is not engaged properly, and the oil passage cannot open. Here are some additional explanations: 1. Automatic transmission cars usually use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. 2. When the shift lever is placed in the forward gear and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.

How many kilometers can you drive after the fuel tank light comes on?

When the fuel tank light comes on, theoretically the car can still drive for at least 40-50 kilometers. There are two key points to note when adding engine oil: When selecting engine oil: It is necessary to strictly follow the engine oil grade specified in the car's user manual. If the same grade is not available, you can use a higher-grade oil, but never use a lower-grade one as a substitute. When adding engine oil: The amount of oil added should be slightly below the standard mark. Excessive oil will increase the crankshaft's rotational resistance, reduce the engine's output power, and the surplus oil may enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption.

What Causes Tire Cracking?

Tire cracking is mainly caused by the following two reasons: 1. Traumatic cracking: This type of cracking usually occurs irregularly in terms of location, shape, and size, and is caused by collisions, compression, or scraping against foreign objects while driving. Some cracks only appear on the surface of the rubber, while others may damage the tire's body cords, and in severe cases, can lead to sudden tire deflation. 2. Aging and cracking: This type of cracking generally occurs in the later stages of tire use, commonly seen on the tire shoulders or lower sidewalls, and sometimes at the bottom of the tread grooves. This is a natural change in the tire rubber due to long-term flexing and heat generation. Driving with consistently low tire pressure can accelerate this process, but it usually does not affect the tire's service life or safety performance, and generally does not require early replacement.

Will the Engine Blow Up if the Throttle is Pressed to 6000 RPM?

Normally, pressing the throttle to 6000 RPM will not cause the engine to blow up. Here is more relevant information: Engine blow-up: Due to excessively high temperatures, the piston expands and gets stuck in the cylinder, causing the engine to be scrapped. In severe cases, when the pressure is too high and the piston cannot move, thick flames may shoot out. Causes of engine blow-up: The main reason for an engine blow-up is still related to the quality of the car, which is a design flaw that causes the engine temperature to exceed the maximum temperature the engine can withstand, resulting in an engine blow-up. Poor heat dissipation within the engine or inadequate lubrication due to poor oil circulation, leading to severe cooling issues, can also cause the engine to blow up.

What Materials Are Needed for Vehicle Inspection?

Vehicle inspection requires an insurance policy, personal identification (if handled by an agent, the agent's identification is also required), and the vehicle's registration certificate for annual inspection. Below is an introduction to vehicle inspection: 1. Annual inspection process: Emissions testing (after passing, obtain the emissions compliance label at the emissions testing hall. If failed, the vehicle needs to be adjusted at a repair shop and retested), vehicle inspection (go to the safety inspection window to collect and fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Regular Inspection Registration Form', which can be obtained with the registration certificate), appearance inspection (take the appearance inspection form to the appearance station to check relevant documents and verify if the compulsory third-party insurance is valid), on-site inspection (the inspection line is responsible for testing brakes, headlights (high beam), chassis, etc.), and labeling. 2. Preparations before annual inspection: Determine where to conduct the inspection, ensure all lights are functional, prepare a fire extinguisher and warning sign, and clear any traffic violations.
