The throttle body does not have a specified replacement interval and should only be replaced when it is damaged. Below are specific details about the automotive throttle body: 1. A dirty throttle body can cause idle vibration: When the air conditioning is turned on, the compressor also operates. Since the compressor is driven by the engine, its operation increases the engine load, which in turn increases the throttle opening and the intake air volume. If the throttle body is not maintained for a long time, carbon deposits can easily form. These deposits can obstruct the engine's air intake, making it difficult or barely sufficient for the engine to drive the compressor, resulting in idle vibration. 2. Regular cleaning of the throttle body: If the driving environment is harsh, it is best to clean the throttle body regularly, recommended every 10,000 kilometers.

How to Drive Through Waterlogged Roads

Drivers should pay special attention to slowing down when passing through waterlogged roads to ensure safety. Here are the precautions for driving through waterlogged roads: 1. Slow down and stop if necessary: Be cautious of 'hydroplaning' when driving on waterlogged roads. At high speeds, water between the tires and the road surface cannot be displaced, causing the vehicle's gravity and the friction between the wheels and the road to disappear, increasing the likelihood of hydroplaning. Therefore, reduce your speed to avoid hydroplaning and prevent traffic accidents. 2. Do not restart the engine if it stalls in water: If the engine stalls due to water, restarting it forcibly may cause significant damage to the engine as water could have entered it.
