How to Resolve Car Strike in the street

when we're busy-fun on the trip suddenly strike vehicles we drive. Moreover, if the event is far from the garage. The first thing we might feel this is a panic situation. To deal with such situations there are some tips that easy to do.


First, remain calm and do not panic, because peace will bring us to a situation rational thinking in finding solutions. Do not blame among the crew that is on the vehicle. Make this problem as a shared problem, so everyone is trying to contribute his thoughts on solutions.

Secondly, make sure that the vehicle stopped in a safe place, the position of the shoulder and does not disturb the flow of traffic. Turn on the emergency signal lights (hazard) and attach a safety triangle is approximately 2 meters directly behind the vehicle position. It is intended to signal to other road users that the vehicle we are experiencing an emergency.

Third, identify the cause of the strike by looking at the indicator panel. Each problem has a different solution. There are some indications that can be recognized in general and possible solutions can be done include:



1. Fuel

Fuel runs out

The simplest method to determine the volume of fuel oil is to look at the fuel gauge indicator. Make sure the volume of fuel in sufficient condition. On certain vehicles, if the volume of fuel usage has crossed the line there is usually an indicator light that lights up (lights depicting gas station).
When the fuel gauge was showing normal position (eg positioning shows or some strips ½) needs to be ascertained whether the pointing device is working normally. By way mengketok-word-with a hard object slowly on the bottom of the fuel tank. Listen to the sound of the blow is loud or heavy. If the sign reads aloud the volume of fuel in the fuel tank in a discharged condition. When the sound of heavy volume might still enough fuel to start the engine.
If the volume of fuel is less, as a solution to be sure we have to find a seller of fuel or gas station nearby. Fill up the fuel tank enough fuel.

No fuel pressure

Fuel pressure can be determined by looking at the movement of the head bolts found on the pulsation dumper. Try to turn the ignition switch to posis "START", when the bolt moves outwards certainly no fuel pressure.

Clogged fuel filter

When the fuel filter clogged, pressure that will be sent to the machine will be reduced. If the filter clogged, the first symptom is the vehicle speed will be halting. If left unchecked can cause the engine died.

Dead fuel pump

Dead fuel pump would cause no fuel flow to the engine so that it will die. To ensure the fuel pump working properly or not, unscrew the tank and at the same time "START" engine. Listen to the sound / vibration is in the tank. Age gas station can be extended by pledging fuel tank is always in full condition. This will prevent corrosion of the tank.

Fuel hose leak / rupture

Fuel hose leak / rupture will result in fuel sent to the engine will be reduced both pressure and quantity.



2. Over Heating Machine

The next problem that causes sudden death machine is the machine that excessive temperature rise. It can easily be seen from the position of the needle temperature indicator on the instrument panel engine. Usually the temperature needle rise position ½ or less. If the needle position exceeds ½ likely to experience over-heating engine (excess heat).



3. No Ignition

Terms of gasoline engine can spin (running) in principle, there are three factors, namely the existence of a strong compression pressure, fuel and ignition quite large enough and appropriate. If the compression and fuel pressure normal, this might be the ignition system. There are several possible causes for the ignition system is not working normally. Broadly speaking, the ignition system is divided into two parts:
Circuit associated with the primary circuit circuit voltage 12V battery drain. This circuit consists of a battery-fuse-key-ignition coil (primary coil). To find the cause of damage to the primary circuit by tracing the 12V battery voltage at the positive terminal stand by the ignition coil. As long as the voltage at the positive terminal of the ignition coil already exists (when the ignition is switched ON), you can bet the primary circuit under normal conditions.
Other circuits are secondary circuits or circuit current generation of high-voltage 20KV - 30KV. This circuit consists of components: ignition coil, Platina / condensor (Conventional type), Igniter & pick up coil (type transistor / CDI), distributor cap, rotor, high voltage spark plug wires and spark plugs. To browse abnormalities in these circuits must first ensure the primary circuit to work normally. As for how to track it down is to do a test on the spark plugs. Open one of the spark plugs in the engine. Then connect the high voltage ignition coil wires. In the conditions attached to the body of the spark plug engine, start the engine. If there is a spark at the spark plug, meaning the primary and secondary circuit is working normally.

In some cases abnormalities in the system comes from the cap delco ignition (distributor) wet because moisture or dew. This event usually occurs when a vehicle driving in rainy conditions that resulted in the distributor cap dewy, rain or water splash.

The fix is ​​quite simple. Open the distributor cap, then dry using a tissue or a dry cloth. If the vehicle still using platinum, the platinum surface clean using sandpaper or a dry cloth. Then wipe again with a clean paper
