There are several reasons why the steering wheel is crooked when driving straight: 1. The steering wheel is misaligned. When you let go of the steering wheel while driving, the car does not deviate. This is simply a case of the steering wheel being misaligned, where the steering wheel and steering column have undergone relative rotational displacement. 2. The vehicle deviates when the steering wheel is released. This is a case of the car pulling to one side, requiring a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing of the car. 3. Steering gear malfunction. 4. The vehicle's sway bar underneath is deformed. A crooked steering wheel means the car needs the steering wheel to be turned at a certain angle to maintain straight-line driving. If the steering wheel is level, the car cannot drive straight, and the steering wheel cannot automatically return to its original position after being tilted for a turn.

What is the problem when the middle part of the wiper doesn't clean properly?

The reasons why the middle part of the wiper doesn't clean properly are as follows: 1. Dirty windshield: If the windshield is not properly cleaned during regular car washing, tiny asphalt particles or other debris may adhere to the glass surface, reducing its smoothness. A rough windshield surface not only affects cleaning performance but can also damage the wiper rubber. 2. Rough wiper rubber: With proper maintenance, the original wiper rubber can last up to 5 years. It's important to note: Fine sand particles on the wiper rubber should be removed promptly. Wiping with these particles is equivalent to grinding the wiper rubber with sandpaper. Soon, the smoothness of the wiper rubber will deteriorate.

Does Running Out of Gas and Stalling Harm a New Car?

Running out of gas and stalling doesn't significantly impact the car, but you should avoid frequently letting the fuel tank run dry. In fuel-injected vehicles, the fuel pump is located inside the gas tank and relies on gasoline for cooling. Regularly running out of fuel can severely shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. It's best to refuel when there's about a quarter of the tank left. Here's more information about the fuel pump: 1. Introduction: A car fuel pump has four wires - two are for the fuel level sensor (commonly called the float), one supplies power, and one connects to the fuel gauge. The other two wires are for the fuel pump itself, with one supplying power and the other being the ground wire. 2. Function: The fuel pump's role is to draw gasoline from the tank and deliver it through the pipelines and fuel filter to the carburetor's float chamber. Thanks to the fuel pump, the gas tank can be positioned at the rear of the vehicle, away from and lower than the engine.

Does a faulty fuel pump module have any impact?

Yes, a faulty fuel pump module has an impact, as it can cause the engine to stall and prevent it from continuing to operate. The classification of fuel pumps and the reasons for fuel pump module failure are as follows: Classification of fuel pumps: A fuel pump is a lightweight and compact pump, which can be categorized into three main types: inline, distributor, and unit pumps. A fuel pump requires a power source to operate, with the lower camshaft driven by the engine crankshaft gear. Reasons for fuel pump module failure: Poor fuel quality, the presence of impurities or foreign objects in the fuel, and a dirty fuel pump can cause these contaminants to enter the internal bearings of the fuel pump, accelerating bearing wear and leading to fuel pump failure. Not replacing the fuel filter for an extended period, a clogged fuel filter, and prolonged high-load operation of the fuel pump can also result in fuel pump damage.
