The reasons why the air conditioning cools when stepping on the accelerator but not when not stepping on it: 1. Poor heat dissipation of the condenser: You can clean the condenser with water when washing the car or take it to a quick repair shop to blow the condenser with an air pressure gun, and also check the refrigerant pressure. 2. Excessive refrigerant: When the accelerator is pressed, the compressor speed increases, and the high pressure rises. Due to excessive refrigerant, the high pressure becomes too high, causing the high pressure protection switch to trip and stop cooling. Conversely, when driving at low speeds, the high pressure is normal and not too high to trigger the high pressure protection, allowing the compressor to cool normally. 3. Excessive dirt in the refrigeration oil: This can clog the filter screen of the filter, reducing the cooling effect, increasing resistance, and decreasing the flow of refrigerant to the expansion valve, leading to the car air conditioning not cooling. Sometimes, if air enters the car air conditioning system, it can cause excessive pressure in the refrigerant pipes, and poor refrigerant circulation can also lead to insufficient cooling.

What do the last four digits of the VIN mean?

The last four digits of the VIN refer to: VIN check digit code; vehicle model year code; assembly plant code; production sequence number code. More information about the VIN is as follows: 1. The full name of the VIN is Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN. The VIN code is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. 2. The combination of the vehicle identification code ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identifier for the vehicle, which can be called the "car's ID card." 3. The VIN standard can be used to analyze vehicle configurations, with digits four to eight representing the engine and transmission model.

How much gasoline evaporates in one hour?

Under normal temperature, 1 kilogram of gasoline can evaporate to produce 400 liters of gasoline vapor. Here are the relevant details: 1. Gasoline's volatility: The evaporation rate of gasoline is essentially a matter of its evaporation index, which refers to the property of gasoline transforming from a liquid to a gaseous state. According to relevant tests, under conditions of indoor temperature at 28°C and relative humidity at 85%, the evaporation rate of gasoline reaches 55% after 20 minutes. 2. Distillation range: Under normal temperature, 1 kilogram of gasoline can evaporate to produce 400 liters of gasoline vapor. Generally, substances evaporate fastest near their boiling points, but gasoline is a mixture and does not have a fixed boiling point. Instead, it has a distillation range, typically between 30 and 205 degrees.

How many points are deducted for occupying the emergency lane?

Occupying the emergency lane results in a deduction of 6 points. Below is an introduction to and usage methods for the highway emergency lane: Introduction to the highway emergency lane: It refers to the part of the road adjacent to the right-hand lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length of 30 meters or more, which can meet the needs of vehicle parking. In emergency situations, vehicles can drive or park on the emergency lane. Usage methods for the emergency lane: If you encounter an unsolvable problem such as a breakdown, you should park the vehicle in the emergency stopping area, turn on the hazard warning lights, place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, and at night or during rainy or foggy weather, you should also turn on the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights. Other passengers must move to a safe area, and if necessary, promptly call the highway emergency number to request assistance.

What causes the EPC warning light to come on and the throttle to feel weak?

EPC light on and lack of power when accelerating can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Fuel system issues: The fuel system is a common problem area in cars. Insufficient fuel entering the combustion chamber may be due to clogged fuel injectors, fuel line leaks, reduced fuel pump performance, or a blocked fuel filter. 2. Blocked fuel filter: The main reason for this feeling of powerlessness is the engine suddenly not getting enough fuel. When the fuel filter is blocked, the car may not get fuel when tilted. The filter needs to be replaced. 3. Clogged fuel injectors: If the fuel injectors are clogged or the fuel pump fails and cannot deliver high-pressure fuel, the fuel cannot be effectively atomized, leading to reduced combustion efficiency and failure to achieve the desired performance. The fuel injectors or fuel pump need to be replaced.

What Causes a Car to Stall Automatically When Waiting at a Stop?

There are several reasons why a car may stall automatically when waiting at a stop: 1. Misoperation: Especially for beginners, incorrect gear shifting, pressing the brake too hard, issues with clutch and throttle coordination, or accidentally turning off the ignition with the key. Simply restarting the engine should resolve this. 2. Dirty throttle body/idle control valve: This often occurs during idling and is usually accompanied by engine shaking. Lightly pressing the accelerator when restarting can help the engine start. It is recommended to clean the throttle body promptly. 3. Ignition system failure: This includes spark plug issues, faulty ignition coils/modules, or aging spark plug wires. Inspect the relevant components. 4. Throttle body or idle control valve failure: These are critical components of the engine's intake system and are relatively precise parts. Stalling or failure to start due to damage to the throttle assembly or idle control valve is not uncommon.

At what age can children sit in the front passenger seat of a car?

The front passenger seat can be occupied by children aged 14 and above. According to the new traffic regulations, if a child under 14 years old is seated in the front passenger seat, the driver will be penalized with 6 demerit points and a fine. This is because the front passenger seat is the most dangerous position in the car. During emergency braking, parents are unable to provide timely safety protection for children in the front passenger seat. The functions of car seat belts are as follows: 1. Preventing secondary collisions: In the event of a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, the pre-tensioning device will instantly tighten the loose seat belt, securing the passenger firmly in the seat to prevent secondary collisions. 2. Maintaining stable chest force: Once the force on the seat belt exceeds a certain limit, the limiting device will appropriately loosen the seat belt to maintain stable chest force.
