Check the battery voltage, whether the starter has any faults, and if the engine is under excessive pressure; if the starter does not operate, inspect the starter's circuit and the electromagnetic switch. Starter failure: Replace it promptly or send it to a repair shop for inspection. Since troubleshooting starter issues is relatively complex, avoid disassembling it blindly if you are unsure, to prevent new manual faults. It is advisable to consult professionals or send it to a repair shop for inspection. Excessive engine pressure: Pull out the oil dipstick to check if the oil viscosity is too high. If the viscosity is excessive, replace it with suitable engine oil. Starter not operating: Assess the technical condition of the battery.

How often should ignition coils be replaced?

Ignition coils should be replaced every 100,000 kilometers. The ignition coil, also known as the high-voltage coil, contains a primary coil and a secondary coil. The primary coil is made of thicker enameled wire, with one end connected to the positive terminal of the vehicle's low-voltage power supply and the other end connected to the switching device (breaker). The secondary coil is made of thinner enameled wire, with one end connected to the primary coil and the other end connected to the high-voltage output terminal to deliver high-voltage electricity. Ignition coils are categorized into open-core and closed-core types based on their magnetic circuits. Traditional ignition coils use an open-core design, with the core made of stacked 0.3mm silicon steel sheets and wound with both secondary and primary coils. Closed-core coils have the primary coil wound around the core, followed by the secondary coil on the outside, with the magnetic flux forming a closed loop through the core.

Which gear is generally used to start a 12-speed vehicle?

When starting a 12-speed vehicle, gears 1-3 can all be used. However, since gear 1 has the maximum torque output but is too slow in speed, gears 2-3 are the best choices for starting. The following precautions should be taken when starting the vehicle: Check the vehicle: Before starting, check around the vehicle for any people or obstacles. Do not rush into the car without checking the surroundings just because you are in a hurry. Start under normal conditions: Always start the vehicle when all equipment is functioning normally. If the dashboard shows engine failure, insufficient oil, insufficient coolant, or other issues, perform maintenance promptly. Stabilize the clutch pedal: At the moment of releasing the handbrake lever, temporarily stabilize the clutch pedal and apply more throttle to avoid vehicle body shaking.
