Fuel gauge needle not moving is usually caused by a damaged fuel level sensor (fuel float). Below are explanations for why the fuel gauge doesn't move after refueling: 1. Wiring and instrument cluster issues: Take the car to a repair shop to have the two wires of the fuel float connected together. If the fuel gauge needle goes to the top, it means the fuel float is broken. If it still doesn't move, check the wiring and instrument cluster. 2. Needle not moving after full refuel: If the needle doesn't move immediately after filling up the tank, it's because the fuel float is pushed to the very top of the tank by the buoyancy of the fuel, causing the sensor-connected needle to remain stationary. Only after some fuel is consumed and the float descends will the needle move with the sensor.

Why does the remote control of Besturn B70 not respond when locking the car?

Here are the specific reasons why the remote control of Besturn B70 does not respond when locking the car: Exposure to strong magnetic fields: During use, the smart remote key should avoid contact with strong magnetic fields. For example, try to avoid parking the vehicle near high-voltage power lines, transmission towers, or other places with strong magnetic field signals. Since the smart key uses low-intensity radio waves, it may not function properly under magnetic interference. Dropping the smart key: Dropping the smart key can lead to poor contact, even if the outer shell is thick. Therefore, try to avoid dropping the smart key during use.

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Besturn B50?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Besturn B50 are as follows: Severe carbon deposits: Poor fuel quality or frequent use of fuel additives can lead to increased carbon deposits inside the engine. Excessive carbon deposits can cause roughness inside the intake manifold, affecting the air intake volume and the mixture effect. If you notice an increase in vehicle fuel consumption accompanied by a decrease in power and acceleration shuddering, it is likely due to severe carbon deposits. Ignition system: Faulty ignition coils and spark plugs are common issues. A faulty ignition coil can cause the ignition system to malfunction, resulting in cylinder misfires, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Maintenance issues: Problems such as too much or too little engine oil, poor oil quality, excessive viscosity, or failure to change the oil on time can all contribute to increased engine fuel consumption.
