Methods to determine if a car has a misfiring cylinder: 1. At idle, if the car body shakes noticeably, observe the exhaust pipe outlet. If the exhaust gas flow shows obvious intermittency and the exhaust pipe shakes violently, accompanied by a clear "popping" sound, it indicates a misfiring cylinder; 2. At low RPM, if the car body shakes and acceleration feels weak, but the shaking reduces at high RPM, it signifies a misfiring cylinder; 3. Touch the insulator of the spark plug with your hand—if it feels cooler, it indicates the engine has a misfiring cylinder. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance.

What are the reasons why the Teana car cannot accelerate?

Teana cannot accelerate because the engine has accumulated a significant amount of carbon deposits.
