The solution for a locked steering wheel and inability to start the engine is as follows: Insert the key, press the brake pedal, then turn the steering wheel left and right while simultaneously turning the car key to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure. Note that if the steering wheel is not turned during the key-turning process, the key will not turn. The steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature. The exclamation mark on the vehicle's steering wheel is a symbol for the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. It is normal for this light to be on when the vehicle is not started and to turn off automatically after starting. If the warning light remains on after the vehicle is started, it indicates a fault in the Electric Power Steering system, which requires prompt inspection or repair at a service center.

Which is Faster: Turbocharging or Naturally Aspirated?

Between turbocharging and naturally aspirated engines, turbocharging is faster. Here is a detailed comparison of the two: 1. Displacement: For the same displacement, a turbocharged engine delivers better power than a naturally aspirated engine, typically improving by about 40%. For example, the performance of a 1.5T engine is comparable to that of a 2.2L naturally aspirated engine. 2. Fuel Consumption: Turbocharged engines save 10~20% in fuel consumption compared to naturally aspirated engines with similar power output. 3. Failure Rate: Theoretically, naturally aspirated engines have a lower failure rate. The turbocharger is a high-temperature component that requires advanced cooling technology.

Should the Throttle Body Be Cleaned?

Throttle body cleaning is necessary. Here are some key points about throttle body cleaning: 1. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. As air contains dust and sand particles, impurities accumulate on the throttle body surface during airflow. Combined with oil vapor from the crankcase, this forms a black carbon-oil deposit layer. 2. Excessive dirt buildup can cause throttle movement stiffness and allow contaminated air into the engine, affecting normal fuel combustion. The throttle body should be cleaned every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. In harsh driving conditions, more frequent cleaning is required. However, over-cleaning may lead to premature throttle failure as the special coating inside the throttle chamber gradually wears away, making it more prone to oil deposits and creating a vicious cycle that ultimately results in throttle body failure.
