This is caused by high idle speed, but the reasons for high idle speed are quite complex. The following are some explanations: 1. Idle switch signal circuit issues: Due to improper adjustment of the idle contact gap, poor contact, damage, or circuit faults, the engine ECU cannot correctly determine the idle condition, leading to idle control errors and various idle speed abnormalities. 2. Idle speed control valve and its circuit issues: When the ISC valve is clogged or stuck due to carbon buildup, or when there are short circuits, open circuits, or grounding in the control circuit, the engine ECU cannot properly control the opening of the ISC valve, resulting in poor idle speed. These should be the focus during diagnosis.

Should the car be turned off in N gear or P gear?

Both N gear and P gear can be used to turn off or start the car, but the settings vary among different vehicles. Some cars must be shifted to P gear to turn off, while others can be turned off in N gear and then shifted to P gear. The correct sequence for parking an automatic transmission car should be: first, stop the car by pressing the brake, shift to N gear, engage the handbrake, shift to P gear, and then turn off the engine and remove the key. When the gear is in P gear, any external force, such as towing or coasting, can cause severe damage to the transmission when moving the vehicle. P gear should only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. N gear is equivalent to the neutral gear in a manual transmission vehicle, allowing the car to move freely without any impact on the vehicle. N gear is the neutral gear, and P gear is the parking gear.

What is the situation when a car battery heats up and leaks water during charging?

The situation when a car battery heats up and leaks water during charging: 1. The leakage of water during battery charging is related to the principle and structure of the battery. The reason why the battery can store electricity is that it converts electrical energy into chemical energy; 2. The battery adopts a lean liquid design. During the charging process, gas evolution will occur inside the battery, and the intense activity of the active substances on the two plates will generate heat, causing the electrolyte level to rise, resulting in the phenomenon of water leakage during battery charging. When charging the battery, the current should be selected as one-tenth of the battery capacity, or one-twentieth of the battery capacity. When water leakage is found during battery charging, the battery liquid level should be checked. When the liquid level is lower than the standard line, pure water or distilled water should be added in time, and the added water should not exceed the standard line.
