The reasons why the car stalls after ignition are as follows: 1. The vehicle's anti-theft system is triggered, locking the engine, allowing it to start but not run. Releasing the key causes the engine to stall, and the anti-theft light comes on. This is mostly due to the owner privately making a key without a chip to prevent key loss, or the key being dropped, weakening the signal and making it unrecognizable by the system. 2. Ignition switch failure: the ignition line has power when starting, but releasing the key cuts off the power and the engine stalls. This is usually caused by poor contact of the internal contacts of the ignition switch, often accompanied by the dashboard battery light, oil light, and engine fault light not illuminating. 3. Damaged ignition module or damaged ignition reference signal line from the ignition module to the engine computer. During the initial start-up when the engine speed is below 500r/min, the ignition module controls the ignition based on the crankshaft and camshaft position sensor signals and its internal data. When the engine speed exceeds 500r/min after starting, the ignition and fuel injection control are transferred to the engine computer, which performs comprehensive control based on various sensor signals and the ignition reference signal sent by the ignition module.

What is an engine mount pad?

An engine mount pad is a cushion for the engine that prevents the vibrations generated by the engine's high-speed rotation from being transmitted to the vehicle body. Method for replacing an automobile engine mount pad: Use a jack to support the engine; open the hood, remove the air filter cover and tube; remove the filter base; take out the old mount pad and replace it with a new one. Functions of the engine mount pad: Eliminate the resonance generated during engine operation; reduce hydraulic oil pressure. Once the mount pad is damaged, significant resonance will occur between the engine and the frame, causing the vehicle body to shake and various abnormal noises to appear. Generally, automobile engine mount pads should be replaced every 6 years, but they must be replaced promptly once damaged.

Can Full Synthetic Engine Oil Last for One Year?

Full synthetic engine oil can last for one year. The recommended replacement interval for full synthetic oil is approximately one year or 10,000 kilometers. Common full synthetic oils are produced from Group III base oils through hydrogenation. Synthetic oils offer superior lubrication compared to mineral oils, with lower friction resistance, better oxidation resistance, and stronger cleaning properties. Full synthetic oils can operate across a wider temperature range and have a longer service life. They can achieve the same oil film requirements at lower viscosities. The high quality of synthetic oil ensures smoother cold starts, particularly noticeable in northeastern regions, extends engine lifespan, and reduces maintenance frequency. Due to their excellent cleaning performance, synthetic oils keep engine cylinders cleaner. The drawback is their higher manufacturing cost and price.
