There is no specific lifespan for a throttle body, but it is recommended to clean it every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Below is some relevant information about throttle bodies: 1. Function: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, earning it the nickname "the throat of the car engine." 2. Types: There are two main types of throttle bodies: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle body operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate.

Match with the 'code' on the car, once the matching is completed, the new key can be used, while the old key will no longer function. A remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing doors to be unlocked and locked from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. Its greatest advantage is: regardless of day or night, there's no need to locate the keyhole, enabling convenient remote locking and unlocking. Remote keys control devices via radio waves, commonly used in smart door locks.

Can a Two-Wheel Drive Converted to Four-Wheel Drive Pass the Annual Inspection?

Converting a two-wheel drive vehicle into a four-wheel drive one will not pass the annual inspection. The reasons and details of the annual inspection are as follows: Annual Inspection Details: The annual inspection refers to the safety inspection conducted every year or every two years on a vehicle, which includes a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, and more. Reasons for Failing the Annual Inspection: The vehicle's drive type is recorded in the vehicle's documentation. Converting to four-wheel drive alters the vehicle's drive type, which is why it will not pass the annual inspection. If converting from front-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, it generally requires modifications such as installing a rear axle, adding a rear differential, and installing a driveshaft. This type of modification is highly technical and poses significant safety risks after completion. If converting a rear-wheel drive vehicle to four-wheel drive, it requires replacing the transmission, adding a transfer case, installing a front differential, and adding a driveshaft, among other changes. Regardless of the original drive type, converting to four-wheel drive involves numerous component modifications and carries substantial safety risks in the long term.

Should the 10th-generation Accord 1.5T use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

If the 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, it is recommended to use 95 octane gasoline; if it is a hybrid model, 92 octane gasoline is sufficient. The relevant details are as follows: Difference between 95 and 92 octane gasoline: There is no difference in quality between 92 and 95 octane gasoline. The main difference lies in their octane ratings, which directly affects their anti-knock performance. The fuel grade specified by the manufacturer is the most suitable for the engine. Higher octane gasoline does not necessarily provide more power to the engine. The appropriate gasoline grade for an engine depends on its structural design. Fuel tank capacity of the 10th-generation Accord: The fuel tank capacity of the 10th-generation Honda Accord is 56 liters. The 10th-generation Accord uses three types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, a low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.

Can I take the Subject 4 exam if my ID card has expired?

An expired ID card cannot be used for the exam. You can first apply for a temporary ID card and use it to take the exam. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civics knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, however, there is no Subject 4. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant does not complete the exam within the validity period, the passed subject scores will become invalid.

What are the symptoms of a faulty thermostat in a Chevrolet Cruze?

When the thermostat in a Chevrolet Cruze malfunctions, the following symptoms may occur: 1. The thermostat fails to open, the temperature gauge shows high temperature, and the engine temperature rises, but the coolant temperature in the radiator remains low. Touching the radiator does not feel hot. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of coolant entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, altering the circulation range to regulate the cooling system's capacity, ensuring the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. 2. If the car thermostat does not close, the water temperature will rise slowly, especially in winter, where the temperature may remain in the low range even after more than ten minutes, accompanied by high idle speed. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the engine's normal operation. If the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it can cause the engine to overheat. If the main valve opens too early, it prolongs the engine warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low. During regular maintenance of the cooling system, it is important to clean scale and dirt from the thermostat. If damage is detected, it should be replaced promptly.
