It is necessary to replace the valve cover, as replacement helps maintain the car's performance. Here is a detailed introduction about the car throttle: 1. Overview: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. Connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, it is referred to as the throat of the car engine. 2. Classification: Throttles are divided into two types: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, connecting the accelerator pedal at one end and the throttle linkage plate at the other. Electronic throttles primarily use a throttle position sensor to adjust the throttle opening angle based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.

What Displacement of Motorcycles is Exempt from Purchase Tax?

Motorcycles with a displacement of 150cc are exempt from purchase tax. Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within China, which evolved from the vehicle purchase surcharge. Regulations on purchase tax exemption: The obligation to pay vehicle purchase tax arises on the day the taxpayer purchases the taxable vehicle. According to the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" implemented from July 1, 2019, motorcycles with a displacement of 150 milliliters (inclusive) or less are not within the scope of vehicle purchase tax collection and therefore are exempt from vehicle purchase tax. Purchase tax calculation method: According to the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China", the domestic vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%. The calculation formula is: Tax payable = Taxable price × Tax rate (if it is lower than the minimum taxable price issued by the State Taxation Administration, the minimum taxable price stipulated by the State Taxation Administration shall be used).

What lights should be used when a traffic accident occurs at night and the vehicle is difficult to move?

When the hazard warning flasher is turned on as required and a warning sign is set up 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle, the clearance lights and tail lights should also be turned on at night. The following is a related introduction to car lights: Car headlights: Also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, they serve as the eyes of the car, not only related to the external image of the owner but also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. The position of the car light switch is usually on the control lever under the steering wheel, generally on the left side; lifting or pressing it changes the light. The emergency light is either on the dashboard or below the steering wheel, usually red and more noticeable. Other lights: The emergency light is usually near the central console, as the only red button, pressing it down activates the double flash. The fog light is usually on the headlight control lever, marked with a fog light symbol; rotating it forward turns on the front fog light, and rotating it backward turns on the rear fog light. The high beam and low beam are either on the turn signal or the control panel; switching between high and low beams is done by moving the handle up or down. The emergency light is on the instrument panel, marked with two overlapping triangles.

Does the airbag module need to be replaced if it gets wet?

If the airbag module gets wet and fails to function, it needs to be replaced. Below is relevant information about airbags: Composition: Mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is typically mounted on the dashboard. Principle: When a collision occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the airbag sensor first receives the impact signal. If the impact reaches the specified intensity, the sensor activates and sends a signal to the electronic controller. Upon receiving the signal, the electronic controller compares it with its stored data. If the conditions for airbag deployment are met, the drive circuit sends an activation signal to the gas generator in the airbag assembly. The gas generator ignites the gas-generating agent upon receiving the signal, producing a large volume of gas. After filtration and cooling, the gas enters the airbag, causing it to rapidly inflate and break through the padding in an extremely short time.

Will Water in Gasoline Affect the Engine?

The engine will stall and stop running. When the fuel pump encounters water, the water will eventually be sprayed into the intake manifold through the fuel injector in a mist form and then enter the cylinder. The amount of water is very small, just a few grams. At this point, since water is being sprayed in, the engine will naturally stall and stop running. Once the engine stops, the fuel pump will also cease operation. Below is additional information about water entering the engine: Minor Water Intake: If a small amount of water enters the engine but does not affect normal driving, though the engine may produce louder noises, it could indicate that there is a small amount of water in the oil or gasoline. In this case, the oil needs to be changed, and the engine-related components should be cleaned. Significant Water Intake: If the engine has taken in a considerable amount of water (not just a mixture with water) but the car has not been started, meaning the engine has not been damaged, the water must be completely drained, the interior cleaned thoroughly, reassembled, and the oil replaced. However, the electrical system may remain unsafe.

Can a car start if the BCM is broken?

It is strongly advised not to start the car if the BCM is broken. Here are the relevant details: 1. BCM: BCM stands for Body Control Module. The primary function of the body controller is to coordinate the operation of various functional components of the vehicle through electrical signals. The body controller can manage electronic components such as windows, airbags, turn signals, and wipers. Almost all modern vehicles are equipped with a body controller, which enables increasingly complex functionalities in today's automobiles. With advancements in computer systems and chip processing capabilities, body control systems are gradually evolving towards intelligent development. 2. Symptoms of a faulty car BCM: If the BCM is damaged, electrical components such as the sunroof, door locks, lights, wipers, voltage regulator, and multimedia system may fail to operate normally. For automatic transmission models, there might also be issues like the P-gear locking up, significantly affecting gear shifting. Additionally, if the BCM is not completely damaged, it could lead to problems like abnormal horn operation, erratic wiper function, starting failures, malfunctioning automatic door locks while driving, and central locking system failures. When the BCM is faulty, it should be repaired promptly.
