The accelerator is called the accelerator pedal or throttle pedal. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine speed increases. The accelerator pedal does not directly control the fuel injection amount but rather the throttle opening. Pressing the accelerator pedal increases the throttle opening, allowing more air to enter the engine, at which point the ECU commands the fuel injection system to inject more fuel. Below is more related information: 1. Accelerator Pedal: The accelerator pedal is a car accessory that allows the driver to control the pedal more freely, enhancing driving safety. Most accelerator pedals are designed with aluminum alloy, and adding an accelerator pedal can significantly increase the vertical contact area of the pedal. 2. General Principles of Throttle Control: Except in emergencies, drivers should remember these eight words in most situations: 'Press lightly, lift slowly, smoothly and evenly.' Stomping on the accelerator not only causes the vehicle to jerk suddenly but also wastes fuel, making passengers inside the car 'rock back and forth' uncomfortably. When pressing the accelerator, the right heel should be placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot, with the foot lightly pressing on the accelerator pedal. Use the ankle joint's extension and flexion movements to press or release the pedal, applying force gently to achieve a light press and slow lift.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise from the Driveshaft While Driving?

Car driveshaft abnormal noise is caused by a bent driveshaft or improper installation. The driveshaft is a high-speed, minimally supported rotating body, so its dynamic balance is crucial. Bent Driveshaft: The abnormal noise from the driveshaft is usually due to bending or denting, causing imbalance during operation, leading to wobbling and noise. Improper Installation: If the universal joint forks at both ends of the driveshaft are not installed on the same plane, or if the original balance weights are not reinstalled in their original positions, the balance state is disrupted. Loose connecting bolts of the universal joint coupling, loose fixing bolts of the driveshaft intermediate support, etc., can all cause abnormal noise from the driveshaft. Solutions for Driveshaft Abnormal Noise: Start the car engine and engage a high gear to observe the driveshaft wobble. If the wobble is greatest when the speed decreases, it indicates wobble and noise caused by imbalance; otherwise, it is noise caused by looseness. If the noise is not severe, drive back for repair; if severe, stop immediately for repair.

What faults will occur if the vehicle body computer is damaged?

If the vehicle computer is damaged, the vehicle may experience abnormal display brightness, inability to lock or unlock, failure to start, unstable idle speed, increased fuel consumption, and other issues. Below is a related introduction: The role of the vehicle computer: The vehicle computer is like the human brain, as it can control the working conditions of various vehicle components. For a simple example, if the vehicle's oxygen sensor detects a high oxygen content in the exhaust, it can be determined that the engine is not burning completely at that time. Subsequently, the oxygen sensor will transmit this information to the vehicle computer, which will then control the fuel injection system's fuel volume to improve the vehicle's combustion efficiency, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emission pollution. Precautions: Generally speaking, unless subjected to short circuits, water immersion, or fire, the durability of the vehicle computer is very high, and it can usually last a lifetime.

Is the BYD Yuan New Energy a plug-in hybrid?

BYD Yuan New Energy is not a plug-in hybrid vehicle; it is a pure electric vehicle. The BYD Yuan New Energy comes in two different horsepower variants: one with 95 horsepower and another with 163 horsepower. This is a single-motor model, and it uses a ternary lithium battery. Here is some related information about the BYD Yuan: 1. Most pure electric vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, which have higher energy density and are lighter in weight. 2. The front suspension of this vehicle uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. This is a small pure electric SUV, and there is not enough space in the rear to accommodate an independent suspension, so the torsion beam non-independent suspension is used for the rear suspension.
