Mazda 6's poor acceleration can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Poor fuel quality, inadequate atomization, or low calorific value; 2. Aging fuel pump with low oil pressure. Solutions for poor car acceleration: 1. Exhaust modification. Exhaust modification is a relatively simple modification aimed at allowing air to enter the engine more quickly, thereby improving engine power. 2. Tire modification. Tire modification is simpler than exhaust modification and more affordable for car owners. When modifying tires, many car owners take the opportunity to widen the steel rim tires. While widening, it is crucial to adhere to the vehicle's specified adjustment values as a standard; otherwise, it may affect the normal operation of other vehicle components.

I often encounter similar situations with the Mazda6's lack of acceleration during daily driving. The key issue might lie in the engine system. For example, a clogged air filter restricts airflow, making the engine 'gasp for breath' and naturally slowing acceleration. Another common culprit is aging spark plugs – reduced ignition efficiency leads to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in weaker power output. I've experienced this on highways, especially feeling the car struggle during uphill climbs. It could also be insufficient fuel pump pressure or clogged injectors causing uneven fuel delivery. I recommend owners start with basic checks like replacing the filter or spark plugs. If that doesn't resolve it, visit a professional shop to inspect electronic control systems – sensor failures can also trigger such issues. Regular engine maintenance prevents many troubles; don't wait until it affects driving safety to address it.

Does driving a new car on the highway have any impact?

Driving a new car on the highway has some impact, but the effect is minimal and will not affect the normal use of the car. Here are the reasons why new cars should avoid highway driving: 1. New cars are in the break-in period and should not be driven on the highway, as high-speed operation can cause significant mechanical wear inside the engine. 2. The engine oil in a new car contains more metal debris. Using oil with a large amount of debris for highway driving will increase engine wear and, in severe cases, may cause irreversible damage, potentially preventing the vehicle from reaching its optimal state after the break-in period. 3. It is recommended that owners allow a period of break-in after purchasing a new car. If highway driving is necessary, the car's speed should be kept within a reasonable range, avoiding excessively high RPMs or speeds to prevent engine damage.

Is it good to cover a car with a car cover?

Covering a car with a car cover is not good for the car, and here are the reasons: 1. The car cover can wear down the paint. Some car covers have a flocked inner material. When there is fine dust on the car's surface, putting the cover on turns it into a sandpaper-like sheet that matches the car's shape under the wind's effect, gently and slowly grinding the paint surface from all angles. Under strong light, the paint damage becomes very obvious. 2. It can easily corrode car parts. If the car is covered with a car cover in a high-temperature state, it's like covering a steaming pot with a plastic sheet. When the car is parked and the cover is on, the local temperature rises sharply, increasing humidity. Excessive humidity can rust the parts since 80% of a car's components are made of steel, which is prone to corrosion when exposed to water.

What is the difference between 95-octane and 92-octane gasoline?

95-octane and 92-octane gasoline differ in the following aspects: 1. Composition difference: They have different contents. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 2. Anti-knock index: The anti-knock index of 95-octane gasoline is 90, while that of 92-octane gasoline is no less than 87, making 95-octane gasoline more prone to combustion. 3. Compression ratio application: Cars with a compression ratio between 8.5-9.5 use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 use 95-octane gasoline.

What is the difference between one and a half turns and 90 degrees?

One and a half turns represent a 180-degree rotation of the steering wheel, while 90 degrees refers to a 90-degree rotation. Steering wheel operation follows these principles: 1. Centering Principle: The amount turned should be returned proportionally—quick turns require quick returns, and slow turns require slow returns. Use the car emblem as a reference to check if the wheel is centered. 2. Safety Principle: At high speeds, steering reactions should be quick with minimal adjustments—fine-tuning with one finger or half a finger. 3. Cornering Principle: The steering wheel should match the curve—quick turns for wide curves and slow turns for tight curves. 4. Correction Principle: If steering too early, adjust less and slower; if too late, adjust more and faster. Oversteer requires small corrections, while understeer needs quick compensation.

What Causes Severe Jerking After an Oil Change?

The reasons for severe jerking after an oil change are as follows: 1. Engine oil: The oil does not meet the standard or too much oil has been added. 2. Break-in period: After the break-in period of a new car, the engine noise may increase, and fuel consumption decreases. 3. Viscosity: The new oil has higher viscosity, leading to greater mechanical resistance and increased cylinder pressure. The functions of engine oil are as follows: 1. Lubrication: During engine operation, the friction between components is rapid and intense. A sufficiently thick oil film is needed between the piston and cylinder to separate the two components and reduce friction. 2. Cooling: The engine generates a lot of heat during operation, and the oil carries some of this heat back to the oil pan for dissipation. 3. Cleaning: Engine parts can produce oil sludge, carbon deposits, worn metal particles, and inhaled dust, which can easily form carbon buildup.
