Here are the reasons why the idle speed becomes higher after starting the car in summer after being exposed to the sun: 1. The greater the temperature difference, the higher the speed: It is normal for the idle speed to be higher when starting. The car needs a high speed to allow the engine to reach normal working conditions as soon as possible, requiring a richer mixture, so the intake air volume and fuel injection volume will increase, resulting in a higher speed. To save fuel and reduce wear during startup, there is generally a cold fast idle or water temperature sensor. The colder the weather, the lower the water temperature (compared to the normal working temperature of the engine, generally around 85-110 degrees), that is, the greater the temperature difference with the normal engine working temperature, the computer will control the higher the cold fast idle speed, which means the higher the engine speed when just starting. 2. Excessive carbon deposits: A high speed is generally caused by excessive carbon deposits. Timely cleaning of the throttle and idle motor can generally solve the problem.

Under what circumstances can the highway emergency lane be used?

Highway emergency lane can be used in the following situations: 1. When the vehicle experiences sudden malfunctions and cannot operate normally, including tire blowouts, engine abnormalities, transmission failure, etc.; 2. When passengers in the vehicle suddenly fall ill or suffer major injuries. In the above two cases, when the vehicle occupies the emergency lane, the driver must place a warning triangle 200 meters behind the vehicle, and the hazard lights must be turned on after parking. The emergency lane is often regarded as a lifeline, specifically reserved for emergency vehicles such as ambulances, police cars, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles to perform rescue missions. Private vehicles are not allowed to use it unless under special circumstances.

What are the correct steps for starting and parking an automatic transmission car?

Correct starting procedure for automatic transmission: 1. First press the brake pedal and start the car in N (Neutral) gear; 2. Then shift from N gear to D (Drive) gear; 3. Release the handbrake, then lift your foot off the brake pedal to start moving. Correct parking procedure for automatic transmission: 1. When needing to park, first press the brake pedal firmly, then pull the handbrake tight; 2. Shift the gear to P (Park) position; 3. Gently lift your foot off the brake pedal and then turn off the engine. Automatic transmission differs from manual transmission - the former connects and transmits power through a soft connection (hydraulic torque converter); automatic transmissions don't have clutch plates like manual transmissions, so special attention is needed during operation. Otherwise, over time, issues like transmission overheating and insufficient power transfer may occur due to certain wear and tear.

Is Higher or Lower Torque Better?

Higher torque is generally better. For engines with the same displacement, greater torque indicates better engine performance. For family sedans, higher torque results in better acceleration; for off-road vehicles, it allows for steeper climbing angles; and for trucks, it enables greater load-carrying capacity. Torque is a measurement of rotational force output from the crankshaft, which decreases as engine speed increases. This parameter reflects a vehicle's load-bearing capacity within specific operating ranges, similar to how power ratings indicate performance. Torque serves as a key indicator of a vehicle's capabilities, influencing factors like speed, hill-climbing ability, and suspension system performance.
