Throttle carbon deposits need to be cleaned. The cleaning method is as follows: 1. First, remove the intake hose to expose the throttle, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, turn off the ignition switch, straighten the throttle flap, and spray a small amount of "carburetor cleaner" into the throttle; 2. Then, carefully wipe with a polyester cloth or high-quality "non-woven fabric". For areas deep inside the throttle that are hard to reach, use a clip to hold the cloth for careful cleaning; 3. After cleaning, reassemble the parts in the reverse order of disassembly. Once reassembled, proceed with throttle initialization. Initialization is essential after cleaning the throttle because the ECU adjusts the throttle opening based on memory. Previously, due to sludge blockage, the ECU would automatically adjust the throttle opening to maintain normal air intake; 4. After cleaning, without sludge blockage, if the throttle maintains its previous opening, it will result in excessive air intake. The consequences include engine shaking at startup, poor acceleration, and the engine warning light may also illuminate.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Honda Jade?

The minimum ground clearance of the Honda Jade is 195 millimeters. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles or rough ground but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability. The Honda Jade is a station wagon produced by Honda, with dimensions of 4667 millimeters in length, 1775 millimeters in width, and 1530 millimeters in height, and a wheelbase of 2760 millimeters. In terms of exterior design, the Honda Jade features very dynamic rear lines, complemented by a roof spoiler and rear bumper design, giving the car a sportier appearance. The rear styling has a strong sense of layering, and the design of the rear wing significantly enhances the sporty feel.

What does brake diving mean?

The cause of brake diving phenomenon: When the vehicle brakes, the center of gravity of the vehicle will shift forward, and the front suspension springs are in a compressed state. During this process, the springs bear the reverse stress transmitted from ground friction to the vehicle body. At the moment when the vehicle speed reaches 0, the ground friction disappears, but the springs are still in a compressed deformation state. The process of stress release and deformation recovery will form a recoil effect on the vehicle body and passengers inside. It feels like a "bounce" or "nodding". Solution: Modifying the suspension is useless, as too soft suspension will only make the spring deformation larger. If too hard, it will affect comfort. The best way to solve this problem is to improve your braking technique.

What are the reasons for a car not starting in cold weather?

Reasons for a car not starting in cold weather: 1. In winter, the temperature is lower, and the viscosity of the engine oil increases, leading to slower flow and increased engine resistance, making it harder to start the car. It is recommended to use winter-specific engine oil; 2. The battery capacity decreases under low-temperature conditions, and after some use, the starting voltage may become low. The battery electrolyte should be replenished in time, or a new battery should be replaced; 3. Water vapor from engine combustion freezes at the muffler of the exhaust pipe. This situation often occurs in vehicles with low usage frequency and short-distance driving. Additionally, damage to the three-way catalytic converter can also cause difficulty in starting.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used for a Honda Fit?

Honda Fit can use 0w20 or 5w20 engine oil. If the driving habits are more aggressive, 0w30 or 5w30 engine oil can be used. The Fit is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. This type of engine does not reach very high temperatures during operation, and the cylinder pressure is not very high, so there is no need to use high-viscosity engine oil. In summer, 30-viscosity engine oil can be used, but for most of the time, 20-viscosity engine oil is sufficient. The Honda Fit is a hatchback launched by GAC Honda. The car has a length, width, and height of 4065 mm, 1695 mm, and 1525 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2530 mm. The Fit features front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration.
