How to Determine if the Engine is Seized?

[McArianna]

Methods to determine if the engine is seized include insufficient coolant level and high water temperature. Engine maintenance involves the following three points: 1. Clean the air filter: The air filter is related to the engine's air intake during driving. If the air filter is clogged or accumulates too much dust, it will hinder the engine's air intake. Additionally, a large amount of dust entering the cylinder will accelerate carbon buildup, causing poor engine ignition, insufficient power, and naturally increased fuel consumption. 2. Remove throttle sludge: Throttle sludge is formed due to carbon deposits from fuel combustion exhaust at the throttle and residues of impurities not filtered by the air filter. Excessive sludge can cause air resistance, leading to increased fuel consumption. 3. Clean injector carbon deposits: The combustion chamber is prone to carbon buildup, which can cause difficulty in starting. Injector carbon deposits can also block fuel passages, deform gasoline injection, and result in poor atomization, naturally increasing fuel consumption.
