Naturally aspirated engines have the following pros and cons: 1. Advantages: (1) Mature technology with higher stability. (2) Smooth power delivery and fast response. (3) Lower maintenance costs compared to turbocharged engines. 2. Disadvantages: Power output is inferior to turbocharged engines. Turbocharged engines have the following pros and cons: 1. Advantages: (1) Improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions. (2) High power output from small displacement with sustained power delivery. 2. Disadvantages: (1) Lag in power response and less smooth operation. (2) Higher maintenance costs.

Why Does Fuel Consumption Increase After Throttle Body Cleaning?

The reason for increased fuel consumption after throttle body cleaning: After cleaning, the throttle body must undergo a re-adaptation process with the ECU to ensure normal engine operation. Once the adaptation is complete, the phenomena of increased fuel consumption and higher RPM will disappear. Due to prolonged lack of cleaning, excessive wear occurs between the throttle valve and throttle arm. After cleaning, the gap actually becomes larger, leading to higher fuel consumption. If the necessary adaptation procedures aren't performed after cleaning, the ECU continues calculating fuel injection based on the old throttle body parameters. Normally, after driving for some time, the vehicle will gradually adapt and fuel consumption will return to normal.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure on GAC Mitsubishi Outlander?

The method to reset the tire pressure on GAC Mitsubishi Outlander: First, turn on the instrument power, then press and hold the reset button until the low tire pressure warning light goes off. Press and hold the reset button again until the low tire pressure warning light flashes three times and then goes off. During normal driving, if the tire pressure of a certain tire is low, the straight-line rotation speed of that wheel will increase. When the speed difference with other wheels reaches a certain value, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate. The GAC Mitsubishi Outlander is positioned as a compact SUV, with a body length of 4705mm, width of 1810mm, height of 1680mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm.

What Causes Water Dripping from a Car's Exhaust Pipe?

Water dripping from a car's exhaust pipe is caused by water vapor present in the engine exhaust. When the water vapor encounters cold temperatures, it condenses into small water droplets, which accumulate in the exhaust pipe and are expelled during acceleration due to the exhaust's momentum. If there is excessive water in the exhaust pipe, it can damage the oxygen sensor of the catalytic converter. Additionally, the heat generated by the engine's combustion is mostly contained within the cylinders, with only a small amount escaping into the exhaust system, indicating stable engine power output. The condition of the engine can be reflected by the exhaust emissions. During operation, the engine temperature can reach between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius. The water vapor produced during combustion exits the engine into the exhaust pipe, where it condenses in cooler environments, gradually accumulating and forming small water droplets that drip from the exhaust outlet. In fact, water dripping from the exhaust pipe is a sign that the engine is in good condition, the fuel is burning efficiently, the fuel supply system is functioning well, and there is no cylinder wear.

What are the symptoms of timing chain skipping teeth?

The symptoms of timing chain skipping teeth: The engine makes abnormal noises, experiences poor acceleration and lack of power when accelerating. If the skipping is severe, the engine may shake, and it may also cause difficulty in starting the car, even damaging the valves. The timing chain requires regular maintenance and adjustment. The function of the timing chain is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to allow the engine cylinders to intake and exhaust normally. The timing chain drive method is reliable, durable, and space-saving. The entire system consists of components such as gears, chains, and tensioners.

What does China National 5 vehicle emission standard mean?

China National 5 vehicle emission standard refers to the regulations on vehicle exhaust emissions. It specifies the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, such as carbon monoxide, PM (particulate matter), and soot. A higher number in the standard indicates more environmentally friendly vehicle emissions. The China National 6 standard is an upgrade from National 5, imposing stricter limits on pollutant emissions. Compared to National 5, under National 6, the carbon monoxide emissions from gasoline vehicles are reduced by 50%, the total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits are lowered by 50%, and the nitrogen oxide emission limits are tightened by 42%, excluding the influence of driving conditions and testing.
