Methods to determine if the ignition coil is faulty: 1. At idle, the vehicle body shakes noticeably, and the exhaust gas flow from the tailpipe shows obvious intermittency, accompanied by severe shaking of the tailpipe; 2. The shaking sensation disappears when the engine speed exceeds 2500 RPM; 3. Open the engine hood and observe the running engine—if there is significant shaking that clearly deviates from normal engine operation, with large amplitude vibrations. As gasoline engines evolve toward higher speeds, higher compression ratios, greater power, lower fuel consumption, and reduced emissions, traditional ignition systems no longer meet the requirements. The core components of the ignition system are the ignition coil and the switching device. Increasing the energy of the ignition coil enables the spark plug to generate sufficient spark energy, which is the fundamental condition for the ignition system to adapt to modern engine operation.

What is the ground clearance of the 2021 Buick Excelle?

The ground clearance of the 2021 Buick Excelle is 120mm. The minimum ground clearance of the 2021 Buick Excelle refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The higher the ground clearance of the 2021 Buick Excelle, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The 2021 Buick Excelle is a compact car produced by SAIC-GM Buick. The hybrid version of the 2021 Buick Excelle has dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. The automatic version measures 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with the same wheelbase of 2640mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the 2021 Buick Excelle is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the vehicle. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is advisable to avoid scraping or damaging the chassis.
