Car starting with lack of power can be divided into two situations: one is a normal phenomenon, and the other is a malfunction. Under normal circumstances, the lack of power when starting the car may be due to a cold start. A cold start means stepping on the accelerator abruptly when the engine is cold, which will cause the vehicle to accelerate slowly. This is a normal phenomenon and a kind of protection for the engine and other components. It may also be due to heavy load. This is because after driving alone for a long time, suddenly carrying a heavy load can also result in insufficient power. There are many reasons for the lack of power when starting the vehicle. If black smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe, it may be caused by a faulty oxygen sensor, which requires replacement for a test drive. It could also be due to poor valve sealing or insufficient cylinder pressure causing the lack of power when starting. And so on.

What are the remedies for cash stolen from a car?

For large items, such as a big suitcase, you can ask people around if they have seen a suitcase of a certain color and size. For communication devices, like a mobile phone, check if the phone has a "Find My Device" feature enabled, or try calling it first to see if there's a chance to dissuade the thief. If it's an item with distinctive features, such as a limited-edition watch or jewelry, and you see someone wearing it, you can directly approach and inquire about it.

How to Lubricate the Clutch Cable?

First, lift the front hood. In the top right corner, there is a small plastic reservoir, which is the clutch fluid reservoir where you can add oil. Then, use a disposable syringe to draw an appropriate amount of engine oil, being careful not to take too much. Press down the clutch pedal with your right hand to expose as much of the cable as possible. With your left hand, inject the engine oil into the cable. Repeatedly press the clutch pedal to allow the oil to penetrate the cable. If you don't have lubricating oil, you can use pencil lead powder, which provides lubrication and is resistant to water and dust.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height on a High-End CR-V?

Lift the engine hood and locate the adjustment knob behind the headlight assembly. Use the appropriate tool to make adjustments, but first determine whether you need to adjust the left/right or up/down alignment. After adjusting the horizontal alignment of the headlights against a wall, find a reference point on the vehicle for comparison. Adjust the headlight height at a distance of about ten meters, and adjust the horizontal position when closer. Once adjustments are complete, observe the headlights from both inside and outside the vehicle. You can also simulate the height from the opposite direction for verification. Repeat the adjustments until they are just right. The high beams usually do not require adjustment.

How to Restart the Lincoln Center Control Screen?

Restart the screen by turning the ignition on and off. If the issue persists, it might be due to poor contact in the wiring. Check the wiring promptly for any loose connections. If there is a problem, it could cause the center control screen to remain dark—reconnect any loose parts. Another possibility is aging power signal wires. Try replacing them with new ones. If the black screen issue is resolved, it confirms that the power signal wires were indeed the problem. If the center control screen is still black, it might be due to a circuit design flaw. For issues like module abnormalities or design defects, take the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection, repair, or replacement.
