Here are the detailed reasons why the engine fault light comes on after starting the car: 1. The vehicle fault light is usually caused by the fuel emission system. 2. When the computer receives the parameters from the oxygen sensor and the exhaust emissions seriously exceed the national legal standards. Poor combustion state: Poor engine combustion state is the main reason for the engine fault light to come on. 3. Engine knocking, usually there are three situations: (1) The car does not move. (2) The car moves, but the engine noise is too loud. (3) There is an obvious knocking sound from the cylinder. 4. Internal reasons for the engine fault light to come on: (1) Poor fuel quality. (2) The engine cylinder is not clean and has accumulated carbon deposits. 5. The computer cannot obtain engine data. 6. False fault. A fault code is reported, but the operation is normal, which may be due to an operation that exceeds the computer's control range, and the computer feedbacks a fault code.

Can an automatic car shift directly from D to S gear?

An automatic car can shift directly from D to S gear. Precautions when shifting gears include: 1. No need to press the brake; 2. When shifting from D to S gear, the gear lock needs to be pressed; 3. When shifting from S to D gear, the gear lock does not need to be pressed. The gears and their uses in an automatic transmission are: 1. P is the parking gear, used for starting and long-term parking; 2. R is the reverse gear, used for reversing; 3. N is the neutral gear, used for short-term parking; 4. D is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear, used for smooth forward movement; 5. L is the low gear, used for going downhill or uphill; 6. S is the sport mode, used for overtaking to gain stronger power; 7. M is the manual mode, which can be adjusted for manual driving.

What Engine Sounds Are Normal?

Engine idle sounds that are uniform and free of abnormal noises are normal. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, which can be categorized into: 1. Internal combustion engine: Fuel burns inside the engine; 2. External combustion engine: Fuel burns outside the engine; 3. Gas turbine: Combustion produces high-pressure gas, which drives the turbine blades to rotate; 4. Jet engine: Generates thrust directly by the high-speed jet of gas from the nozzle. Reasons for increased engine noise include: 1. Engine oil not meeting standards or being overfilled, increasing the stirring resistance of the crankshaft and connecting rod; 2. Unsuitable oil viscosity; 3. Excessive engine carbon buildup, intensifying wear on cylinders and pistons; 4. Mixing different brands of engine oil; 5. Not changing the engine oil on time.

How to Control Speed When Driving an Automatic Car Down a Long Slope?

To control speed when driving an automatic car down a long slope, follow these methods: 1. Release the accelerator in advance to descend at a low speed; 2. Shift the vehicle's gear to L (Low) mode. The starting procedure for an automatic car is: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and press the start button to activate ACC mode; 2. Press the start button again for vehicle self-check; 3. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite the engine; 4. Press the foot brake, shift to D (Drive) mode, and release the handbrake. Automatic transmissions eliminate manual gear shifting by automatically selecting appropriate gears based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gear positions include: 1. P (Park) - Parking/Starting position; 2. R (Reverse) - Reverse gear; 3. N (Neutral) - Neutral position; 4. D (Drive) - Forward driving mode; 5. L (Low) - Low-speed mode; 6. S (Sport) - Sports mode.

Do vehicles need to undergo annual inspections after 6 years?

Vehicles are required to undergo annual inspections after 6 years. The inspection items include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, and whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; 2. Testing the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performance; 3. Verifying whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, and whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle. Annual inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and driving licenses. Its purposes are: 1. To promptly eliminate potential safety hazards of the vehicle; 2. To encourage and strengthen vehicle maintenance, thereby reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Which Position is the One-Third Point of the Hood?

The one-third point of the hood is located approximately 10 to 15 centimeters from the headlights. The functions of the hood include: 1. Airflow diversion; 2. Protecting the engine and surrounding pipeline components; 3. Assisting driving vision by effectively adjusting the direction of reflected light; 4. Preventing accidents; 5. Isolating heat generated during engine operation. Methods to open the hood include: 1. Lift the handle upward, then raise and support the hood; 2. Push the hood latch switch to the right and lift the hood; 3. Rotate the emblem counterclockwise, then use a key to turn it clockwise, open the hood, and support it; 4. Pull the front left switch outward by hand, then support the hood after opening; 5. Press the hood lock upward with your fingers, open the hood, and support it.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Zongshen 200 three-wheeled motorcycle?

Zongshen 200 three-wheeled motorcycle has a 26L fuel tank. The basic introduction of the Zongshen 200 three-wheeled motorcycle is as follows: Customizable processing, model is 200zh, displacement can reach 200ml, overall dimensions are 3880mm, curb weight is 620kg, maximum speed can reach 90km/h, fuel consumption per 100km is 4.5L, engine model is Tsunami engine, rated power is 24kw, CNG bottle capacity is 12L, engine displacement is 200L, engine maximum power can reach 4000kw, engine maximum torque is 145, rear wheel track is 1650mm, cargo box size is optional, unladen weight is 660kg, compression ratio is 0.2, fuel tank capacity is 26L, wheelbase is 1700mm, maximum load can reach 4000kg, maximum noise is 0.8db. Ways to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: Clean or replace the air filter on time to ensure the engine's air-fuel ratio is normal. Do not rigidly follow the cleaning or replacement cycle of the air filter as stated in the motorcycle maintenance manual, because the location and usage environment of the motorcycle vary. If the motorcycle usage environment and air quality are good, the cleaning and replacement cycle of the air filter can be extended. If the motorcycle usage environment is harsh, it is necessary to frequently check, clean or replace the air filter (observe the cleanliness and air permeability of the air filter surface). After excessive use of the air filter element, the air flow is severely reduced, leading to an overly rich or abnormal mixture ratio and increased fuel consumption. Regularly maintain the fuel supply system (carburetor or fuel injection), clean the spark plug frequently and replace it regularly. Go to a professional repair shop for the above cleaning and debugging. Note: Use a special cleaner for fuel injection throttle valves when cleaning them, and do not use corrosive cleaners such as carburetor cleaners, as this will damage the rubber parts inside the fuel injection throttle valve. Replace the correct type of oil and oil filter on time and according to the season to reduce internal friction in the motorcycle engine. The correct amount of oil is also a key factor. Adding too much or too little oil will cause varying degrees and types of damage to the motorcycle engine and also increase fuel consumption.
