The differences between FAW Mazda and Changan Mazda mainly lie in their historical backgrounds and vehicle models. In the past, FAW Mazda began its partnership in 2005, primarily producing larger-sized sports cars like the Mazda6 Atenza, which offer a more stable driving experience. On the other hand, Changan Mazda joined in 2007, focusing on compact models such as the Mazda3 Axela, known for their light and agile handling. Originally, these two joint ventures operated independently, but they merged in 2021 and are now under unified management. However, long-time owners can still notice differences in design styles: FAW's vehicles lean more towards a luxurious road feel, while Changan's models have a more youthful appeal. When buying an older model, choosing between them should align with personal preferences, such as favoring high-speed stability or quick acceleration. This reflects the evolution of the automotive joint venture model, which is quite interesting.

How to Deal with Blurry Windshield in Rainy Weather?

Here are the solutions for dealing with a blurry windshield in rainy weather: 1. Use the air conditioning system: Turn on the fan and cooling switch inside the car, so that the cold air blows onto the glass, quickly dispersing the fog with fast and direct results. Alternatively, turn on the heating to make the glass temperature the same as the interior. Using warm air to defog may initially make the fog on the windshield heavier, but after a while, the warm air will dry the fog away. 2. Utilize the windows: Open the sunroof or windows to allow air convection inside the car. This helps the interior temperature gradually match the outside temperature, causing the fog to dissipate. If the weather is not too cold, you can also keep the sunroof open while driving to maintain the same temperature inside the car, making it less likely for fog to form again.

How to Solve Excessive Fuel Injection Pulse Width?

Solutions for excessive fuel injection pulse width are as follows: 1. Check if the oxygen sensor and coolant temperature sensor are aging: Excessive fuel injection pulse width usually needs to be considered in conjunction with idle speed. If the idle speed is high and the pulse width is large, it is generally caused by inaccurate signals from the throttle position sensor or coolant temperature sensor. If the idle speed is normal but the pulse width is large, it is usually due to a faulty oxygen sensor. 2. Inaccurate closed-loop data received by the ECU: Among these data, the oxygen sensor and coolant temperature sensor are the main factors, though the intake pressure sensor and throttle position sensor cannot be ruled out. You can use a Bluetooth OBD scanner to check the vehicle's internal conditions or have the data rechecked by professionals at a testing station.
