Parts include cylinders, throttle, spark plugs, and intake. Allow for better combustion inside the engine. Including replacing the intake air filter.

I recently experienced a lack of power in my car as well. I remember once during a long-distance drive, the acceleration felt sluggish, as if dragging a big rock. This can usually be addressed by checking a few simple areas: first, inspect if the air filter is too dirty—if it's clogged, replace it with a new one, as better airflow improves power. Then, if the spark plugs are worn out, poor ignition can also cause a lack of power; replacing a set costs just a few dozen dollars. The fuel system should also be checked—if the fuel filter is clogged or the fuel pump isn’t performing well, it needs cleaning or replacement. By the way, some modern cars have electronic control faults, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, which can cause the computer to reduce power. It’s best to use a diagnostic tool to read the error codes. If all these checks don’t resolve the issue, it’s time to visit a 4S shop for a professional inspection. In case the exhaust system is blocked or there’s a transmission problem, it could pose serious safety risks. Regular maintenance can prevent such troubles—I recommend replacing the air filter yourself every 5,000 kilometers to save money and ensure peace of mind.

What to Do If the First Car Maintenance Period Has Expired?

If the car has passed the first maintenance period but the driving time and mileage are not very long, both within the time and mileage allowed by the 4S store, you can still go to the 4S store for the first maintenance outside the deadline and get free car maintenance. Extended Information: 1. First Maintenance Content: The first maintenance generally requires changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air conditioning filter and air filter, and checking various items. It is a minor maintenance involving not many items. 2. First Maintenance Notes: The first maintenance time of the car is calculated based on the date of picking up the car. There are two indicators for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first, maintenance is required. Exceeding either will affect the warranty.

How to Change an Unlucky License Plate Number?

If you wish to change a license plate number that you consider unlucky, you need to transfer the vehicle associated with that plate number to another person. After the transfer, you can reapply for a new plate number selection. If you have drawn an unlucky plate number during the lottery but have not yet registered it, you can delay the application process. The unlucky plate number will automatically become invalid after the deadline and return to the pool of available numbers, allowing the owner to participate in the lottery again for a different plate number. Additional Information: 1. Introduction: A license plate number is a unique identifier for a vehicle, much like an ID number for a person. 2. Relevant Regulations: To register a license plate, you need to bring your ID card, vehicle certification, vehicle parameter sheet, vehicle invoice (second and fourth copies), vehicle purchase tax receipt, insurance policy, purchase invoice, vehicle qualification certificate, ID card or organization code certificate of the invoice issuer (with copies), compulsory insurance policy, tax payment certificate, and other relevant documents.

When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years.

Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The owner of the vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Vehicle Registration Regulations", if a vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a vehicle's registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
