The fuel pump of an EFI motorcycle may not be working due to a damaged fuel pump, issues with related circuits, or potential faults in the ECU and sensors. Below is more information about the fuel pump: 1. Introduction: Among the four wires of an automotive fuel pump, two are for the fuel level sensor (commonly known as the float), one is for power supply, and one connects to the fuel gauge. The remaining two wires are for the fuel pump itself—one for power supply and one as the ground wire. The fuel pump operates with a high current, so its wires are thicker, while the sensor wires are thinner, making them easy to distinguish. 2. Fuel Pump Relay: The abbreviation is PMR, and the full term is Pump-Motor-Relay. The fuel pump relay controls the power supply to the fuel pump. Modern vehicles typically use direct or port fuel injection, and once the fuel supply meets certain requirements, the relay cuts off the fuel pump, thus controlling its operation. 3. Basic Function of Automotive Relays: They act as 'automatic switches' that use a small current to control the operation of a larger current. In circuits, they perform functions such as automatic regulation, safety protection, circuit switching, and more.

What is a car radiator?

Car radiator, also known as a heat exchanger or overflow tank, is a crucial component of water-cooled engines. It serves as the heat exchanger for water-cooled engines, maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature through air convection cooling. The radiator is an integral part of the automobile engine and the main component of the car's cooling system, functioning to dissipate heat and maintain engine temperature. Working principle of car radiator: The coolant circulates through the engine's water passages, absorbs heat from the cylinder block, and then dissipates it through large-area cooling fins to maintain the engine's proper operating temperature. A car radiator consists of radiator core, water pipes, cooling fins, upper tank and lower tank.

What tires does the Audi Q3 use?

The tires used on the Audi Q3 depend on the specific model, as there are multiple variants with different tire specifications. Taking the 2019 Audi Q3 as an example, it uses either 235/55R18 or 235/50R19 tires. The 235/55R18 tires are exclusively used on the 35 TFSI (1.4T engine) model, while all other models are equipped with 235/50R19 tires. The Audi Q3 is an SUV built on the same PQ35 platform as the Volkswagen Tiguan. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4385mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1831mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm.

Do you need to press AC for car air conditioning to cool?

To cool the car air conditioning, you need to press the AC button, which is the button to start the air conditioning compressor. After pressing this button, the air conditioning compressor will start working, cooling the stuffy summer air and blowing cool air into the car. The car air conditioning cooling system consists of a compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower, among others. Car air conditioning is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to a suitable state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, creating good working conditions for the driver, and playing an important role in ensuring safe driving.

How to Identify a Burned-out Compressor?

Methods to identify a burned-out compressor: 1. Use a multimeter to measure resistance. Generally, the sum of the resistance between SC and RC should equal the resistance between RS, with minor deviations allowed. However, if a significant difference is detected, the compressor is burned out. 2. If power is supplied but the compressor does not start, and replacing the starting capacitor still does not resolve the issue, the compressor is burned out. Problems with the compressor can also arise from incorrect wiring at the compressor terminals, refrigerant leaks in the system, damaged capacitors, capacitors that do not match the compressor specifications, improper power line wiring, copper plating or rust on the compressor, or abnormal wear of the compressor.

What are the differences between domestically produced cars and imported cars?

The differences between domestically produced cars and imported cars: 1. Different manufacturers: Domestically produced cars are independently researched, designed, and manufactured by the home country; imported cars are entirely developed and built abroad. 2. Different materials: Domestically produced cars mainly use materials produced in the home country; imported cars use materials produced abroad. Domestically produced cars refer to vehicles designed, developed, and manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights, belonging to autonomous brands. Imported cars can be categorized into "American-spec cars," "Middle East-spec cars," "Canadian-spec cars," "European-spec cars," etc., based on their import origins, distinguishing them from "Chinese-spec cars" sold through authorized channels.
