Air conditioning consumes more fuel when set to colder temperatures because the compressor needs to run longer. Below is an explanation of how car air conditioning affects fuel consumption: Impact of Air Conditioning Fan Speed on Fuel Consumption: Using air conditioning significantly increases fuel consumption mainly because the compressor requires substantial power to operate. However, variations in fan speed have minimal impact on power demand. Therefore, within a certain speed range or wind resistance, using air conditioning consumes more fuel, while turning it off saves fuel. The effect of fan speed on fuel consumption is negligible, including when only using the heater in winter. Impact of Air Conditioning Temperature on Fuel Consumption: When it's too hot or too cold and air conditioning is necessary, avoid setting it to the coldest or hottest extremes. A moderate temperature setting is ideal. Extremely low or high temperatures waste fuel.

What Causes the Misfire Fault in the Envision?

Misfire faults in the Envision can be divided into two scenarios: complete misfire, where there is no combustion at all, and partial misfire, where combustion is unstable. It is advisable to promptly visit a repair shop for maintenance. Causes of engine misfire: Issues with spark plugs, such as clogging or damage. Problems with cylinder wires. Faulty ignition coils. Problems with fuel injectors, including clogging or low voltage causing DME internal injector data loss. Issues with the air-fuel mixture. Problems with cylinder pressure. Solutions for engine cylinder misfire: Measure engine cylinder pressure using a cylinder pressure gauge for easy detection. Changes in valve spring stiffness and camshaft wear are difficult to detect during cylinder pressure measurement. Also, consider whether the intake air volume is sufficient (air leakage or carbon buildup on valves).

Are there still new Tianjin Honda 90 motorcycles available?

Tianjin Honda 90 has been discontinued for 20 years, and there are currently no new models available on the market. Below is extended information about motorcycle maintenance: Maintenance of braking system: With the main stand deployed, measure the free travel distance of the front brake lever from its resting position to the point where braking begins (10-20mm). If not within specification, adjust by turning the front brake nut clockwise to reduce free travel or counterclockwise to increase it. Fine adjustments can also be made using the front brake fine-tuning nut. Motorcycle fuse replacement: The fuse is located next to the battery. Always replace with a fuse of identical specifications. Frequent fuse burnout usually indicates short-circuiting or overload - consult a technician for inspection. Using non-compliant fuses may cause severe electrical system damage or even fire. When inspecting/replacing fuses, always turn the ignition switch to OFF position to prevent short-circuiting.
