Reasons why the car does not accelerate when pressing the gas pedal: 1. Clutch slipping: Incorrect driving habits, such as coasting with the clutch pressed for a long time, not fully depressing the clutch, incomplete gear shifting, or the vehicle being in a semi-clutch state for an extended period. Solution: Replace the clutch plate; 2. Poor fuel quality: Insufficient fuel supply leading to weak acceleration. Solution: Replace with high-quality engine oil; 3. Throttle carbon buildup: Carbon deposits accumulating on the throttle can affect the air intake, resulting in insufficient engine power. Solution: Clean the throttle; 4. The car has a small displacement and is carrying too much load. If this is the case, it is a normal phenomenon.

Can Zhejiang License Plates Enter Downtown Shanghai?

Yes, vehicles with non-Shanghai license plates are only restricted from using elevated roads within the Middle Ring Road (including the Middle Ring Road) from 7:00-9:00 AM and 4:30-6:30 PM on weekdays (Monday to Friday). These restrictions do not apply on holidays and public holidays. During other time periods, there is no difference between non-Shanghai license plates and Shanghai downtown license plates. 1. Passing through restricted intersections: Vehicles with restricted license plate endings can go straight through intersections with restricted roads, but cannot turn left or right onto the restricted roads. 2. No use of bus lanes: During restricted hours, the Second Ring Road will maintain dedicated bus lanes, allowing only buses, registered school buses, and company shuttle buses. Restricted vehicles are not permitted to use these lanes.

Is it a problem if a little rainwater gets into the fuel tank?

If only a small amount of rainwater enters, there is no need to worry. As long as the car can drive normally without any power loss, it generally won't cause any issues. Here is an explanation of water entering the gasoline tank: 1. Low water content: It won't cause any problems. Gasoline has strong hydrophilic properties and can absorb moisture from the air. Besides water, there are many other impurities in the fuel tank. The water that enters the tank will mix with the gasoline. Even though their densities are different and they don't fully blend, the water won't be drawn into the engine all at once. 2. Large amount of water entry: In this case, all the fuel in the tank can be drained and replaced with water-free fuel. If the car experiences engine shaking or acceleration issues, it's necessary to visit a 4S shop to clean the filter, fuel lines, and injectors. Otherwise, severe cases may prevent the car from starting.

What are the benefits of tubeless tires?

Tubeless tires are tires without inner tubes, which rely on the wheel rim and outer tire to seal the air inside. They have a certain self-sealing capability, meaning that after being punctured (if not too severe), the air won't leak out quickly, and they are also easier to repair. Advantages of tubeless tires: 1. Puncture resistance: The surface of tubeless tires is made of high-quality rubber. After inflation, the surface tension increases, forming a certain pressure on the inner surface, which enhances the self-sealing ability for punctures. Once punctured, unlike ordinary tires where the air escapes instantly, tubeless tires maintain pressure for a certain period, ensuring safety during high-speed driving. 2. Super wear resistance: The diameter of tubeless tire rims is larger than that of ordinary rims, so they are not affected by the heat from brake drums during driving. Without an inner tube or liner, the tire and wheel rim are sealed as one unit. The high temperature generated by friction between the tire and the road surface during high-speed driving is directly dissipated through the steel rim, quickly reducing tire temperature and thus extending the tire's lifespan. 3. Low fuel consumption: The crown angle of tubeless tires is zero, providing strong adhesion. This maintains better driving stability and lower friction, contributing to shock absorption and increased speed. The high positioning accuracy of the speed layer reduces radial runout of the wheel, minimizing resistance.

What are the effects of keeping the car in N gear for a long time?

For automatic transmissions, this operation is not recommended. The reason is that when in N gear, the transmission oil pump does not work, and the transmission oil cannot circulate. Keeping the car in N gear for a long time can cause the oil temperature to rise due to the lack of oil circulation, which may have certain adverse effects on the transmission. 1. Comparison: The P gear uses a mechanical lock to fix the rotation on the transmission, while the N gear allows free movement. If stopping for a short time (such as waiting at a traffic light), it can save fuel to some extent by interrupting the engine's power and reducing its output. 2. Structure introduction: The P gear has a relatively simple structure. There is a pawl next to the gear on the output shaft. When the gear is shifted to P, the pawl hooks the gear, thereby locking the output shaft. Therefore, using P gear for long-term parking is safer.

Does automotive braking mean the same as braking?

Automotive braking (motor vehicle braking) refers to the braking technology used to decelerate or stop a vehicle while it is in motion. The brake is essentially the same as the braking system. Brakes are categorized into service brakes (foot brake) and parking brakes (hand brake). Below is a related introduction to automotive braking: 1. The braking system used to decelerate or stop a moving vehicle is called the service braking system. 2. The braking system used to keep a stationary vehicle in place is called the parking braking system. 3. In the event of a service braking system failure, the braking system that ensures the vehicle can still decelerate or stop is called the emergency braking system. 4. During driving, the braking system that assists the service braking system in reducing speed or maintaining a stable speed, but cannot bring the vehicle to an emergency stop, is called the auxiliary braking system.
