Idle speed gauge needle slight fluctuation is caused by fuel system issues or electrical circuit problems. Fuel system issues: Fuel system problems are generally caused by fuel line blockages, resulting in poor fuel supply, manifested as engine shaking, unstable idle speed, and stalling while driving; additionally, fuel pump failure can also cause engine vibration. The solution is to diagnose fuel pump issues by disconnecting fuel lines and checking fuel flow rate and volume. Electrical circuit problems: Check if the ignition timing is accurate, as abnormal ignition is usually a timing issue; additionally, malfunctioning distributors can also cause engine vibration. Solutions include checking if spark plugs are worn, whether their gaps are uniform, and if the gaps have changed.

Do I Need to Wait for the Traffic Light When There is a U-Turn Sign?

If there is a U-turn signal light and it is red, you must wait; otherwise, it will be considered running a red light. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," this will result in a penalty of 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. If there is no U-turn signal light, and the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the traffic signal and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. However, if the gap is marked with a solid line, the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal light. Making a U-turn directly may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. When making a U-turn that requires crossing the pedestrian crossing, pedestrians must be given the right of way: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk and not reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles on the left side of the road must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so, allowing pedestrians to cross. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the road, vehicles should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If pedestrians cross the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles failing to stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians enter the motorized lane along the crosswalk, vehicles must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Failing to yield is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If the road is divided by a green belt, pedestrians waiting in the middle of the road must be given the right of way. Vehicles must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Permissible U-turn situations: Intersections with U-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn is permitted. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit "No U-Turn" or "No Left Turn" signs allow U-turns: If there are no signs prohibiting U-turns, they are permitted. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-Turn" or "No Left Turn" signs and no solid centerline. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones at intersections prone to congestion, important entrances, or other designated areas. Stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed in yellow grid zones unless there is a central barrier. Intersections with U-turn signal lights: If a U-turn signal light is present, follow its instructions—only turn when it is green. When "No Left Turn" and "U-Turn Allowed" signs appear together: U-turns are permitted, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-Turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even without a "No U-Turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Failure to do so will result in full liability for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit "No U-Turn" signs.

Does Long-Term Idling with Air Conditioning On Affect the Engine?

Long-term idling with air conditioning on does affect the engine. Keeping the car idling for extended periods with the air conditioning running can cause wear and tear on car components and is harmful. In principle, prolonged idling with air conditioning on is not recommended. The low idle speed of the engine results in poor cooling performance, failing to meet usage requirements. It also tends to cause incomplete combustion of fuel (gas), producing a large amount of exhaust gases, which can easily lead to poisoning and suffocation. Idling in place is an operational condition where the engine runs without load, only overcoming the frictional resistance of internal components without delivering external power. It maintains the engine at a lower stable speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening and the idle fuel supply. Adjusting the idle operation must be performed under normal conditions, including proper engine temperature, appropriate valve clearance, normal ignition system, good sealing of all pipes, fully open choke valve, and tightly closed throttle valve. During adjustment, first, unscrew the throttle opening adjustment screw to achieve the lowest stable engine speed.

Is It Suitable to Use a Steering Wheel Cover?

Is It Suitable to Use a Steering Wheel Cover? The following are relevant details about using a steering wheel cover: 1. Shock Absorption: Since the steering wheel itself is made of relatively hard materials, when driving on rough roads, especially on mountain paths, drivers holding the steering wheel will feel intense vibrations. These vibrations can stimulate the heart. Although the effects may not be immediately visible, over time, according to health experts, if the heart is frequently subjected to excessive direct stimulation from the limbs, it can easily lead to heart disease, posing a significant health risk to drivers. Many steering wheel covers available on the market today come with shock-absorbing features. Some products contain a special material—EVA elastomer—which effectively buffers vibrations, much like adding springs between tires and the car body to reduce shocks. 2. Protective Function: During driving, everyone's hands sweat, and since hands frequently come into contact with the steering wheel, millions of bacteria can accumulate on it. A steering wheel cover helps absorb sweat, maintaining a good grip for the driver. Additionally, it is easy to remove and wash, improving hygiene inside the car. According to health authorities, removing these bacteria usually requires high-temperature disinfection or UV sterilization, as ordinary wet wipes cannot eliminate them completely. With a steering wheel cover, regular cleaning and disinfection become much easier, greatly simplifying daily maintenance for car owners and ensuring better in-car hygiene.
