Adjusting the idle speed motor involves the following steps: 1. It is best to adjust the idle speed motor when the engine is in a warmed-up state to avoid any impact on the adjustment of the engine speed due to the engine's temperature. 2. After removing the idle speed motor, tighten the conical valve head of the idle speed clockwise until it cannot be turned further. Use a marker to record the position of the valve head at this point, then turn it counterclockwise by 3 turns. 3. Reinstall the idle speed motor, turn the car key to the ON position, wait for 20 seconds, and then start the engine. If the idle speed is normal, the adjustment is correct. 4. If the idle speed is too high, it indicates that the throttle bypass is too large. You need to loosen the idle speed motor valve head counterclockwise by 0.5-1 turns and then repeat step 3. 5. If the idle speed is too low or the engine fails to start, it indicates that the throttle bypass is too small. You need to tighten the idle speed motor clockwise by 0.5-1 turns and then repeat step 3.

What does engine EPC mean?

EPC stands for the Engine Electronic Stability System. Generally, there are two possible reasons for the EPC light to illuminate. One is a dirty throttle body, which should be cleaned. The other is malfunctioning brake lights, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. Additionally, poor fuel quality can also trigger the EPC warning light. Solutions for an illuminated EPC light include: 1. Troubleshooting the intake system, using compliant fuel, and cleaning the throttle body. 2. Removing carbon deposits and performing cleaning in relevant areas. 3. Reflashing ECU-related data (this applies when other issues are resolved but the problem persists). 4. Other faults cannot be ruled out, so specific repairs should be based on actual vehicle diagnostic results.

Does the Car Underbody Guard Affect Heat Dissipation?

Car underbody guards do not affect heat dissipation. The functions of an engine guard are: 1. To prevent mud from covering the engine, which could lead to poor heat dissipation; 2. To protect the engine from impacts caused by uneven road surfaces during driving, preventing engine damage; 3. To extend the engine's service life by avoiding damage from external factors during travel, which could cause the car to break down; 4. To keep the engine compartment clean by preventing road water and dust from entering. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work.
