There are several reasons why a car may stall when in neutral: 1. Low idle speed: This is usually caused by an idle speed that is too low, so it's important to check the idle speed and adjust it if necessary. 2. Throttle body: If the issue isn't related to idle speed, it could be due to excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, idle air control valve, intake valves, intake manifold, combustion chamber, spark plugs, or fuel injectors. 3. Fuel injector: It's also important to check if the fuel injector is leaking, which can cause it to continue supplying fuel even after the throttle is closed. This leads to an overly rich air-fuel mixture at low speeds, resulting in unstable idle and, in severe cases, stalling.

What is the reason why the Teana does not move when idling in reverse gear?

Teana does not move when idling in reverse gear for the following reasons: Functional comprehensive failure: Involving the clutch, gearbox and drive axle, the fault location should be determined first during diagnosis, and the condition of the two wheels can be checked first. The order of diagnosis is generally from the drive wheels forward through the rear axle to the drive shaft and then to the gearbox, and finally to the clutch. If the drive shaft rotates, but the car does not move forward, the fault is in the rear axle. Lift the rear axle and rotate one rear wheel. If the other rear wheel rotates in the opposite direction but the drive shaft does not rotate, it means that all the rivets of the differential bevel gear are cut off. If the other rear wheel does not rotate, the half shaft should be disassembled and inspected to see if it is broken. Gearbox failure: Remove the gearbox cover and check whether the gear shift fork of the gearbox is broken and whether the guide block fixing screws are loose. If the above checks are normal, perform a gear engagement test. If the second shaft does not rotate in a certain gear, it means that the half-round key of the gear is cut off. If the second shaft rotates in direct gear but does not rotate in other gears, it means that the support bearings at both ends of the intermediate shaft are disassembled and the intermediate shaft falls.

What are the reasons for the stiff suspension of the BMW X6?

BMW X6 stiff suspension reasons are as follows: New car break-in period: Generally, the shock absorbers being too stiff is due to the car being new, and the mechanical components have not fully broken in yet. It is normal for the owner to feel that the suspension is too hard, and it will improve after the break-in period. Reducing tire pressure: You can change the stiffness of the shock absorbers by adjusting the tire pressure. However, the reduced tire pressure should still be within the normal range. This method can provide slight relief. Upgrading to adjustable shock absorbers: Consult with professionals and, if modifications are allowed, replace the shock absorbers with adjustable ones, such as coilover suspensions, which can also adjust height and damping.

Can the MG HS use 95 octane gasoline?

MG HS cannot use 95 octane gasoline; the MG HS requires 92 octane gasoline. Hazards of using 95 octane gasoline in the MG HS: Using 95 octane gasoline may lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in carbon deposits and insufficient power. Additionally, switching from 92 octane to 95 octane gasoline may slightly increase fuel consumption during the adjustment period. While using gasoline with a higher octane rating than required by the engine is permissible, it does not offer any advantages in terms of engine power output or fuel efficiency. Precautions when refueling: Turn off the engine, do not smoke or use open flames, avoid using mobile phones, prevent fuel spillage, and do not overfill the tank.
