Damage to the air meter can affect the engine's power performance, leading to issues such as unstable idling, poor acceleration, "backfire" in the intake pipe, and black smoke from the exhaust pipe, while also causing excessive exhaust emissions. Below are the relevant details: 1. Air Meter: The air meter, also known as the air flow meter, is one of the important sensors in an electronically fuel-injected engine. It converts the inhaled air flow into an electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control unit, serving as one of the basic signals for fuel injection. It is a sensor that measures the air flow entering the engine. 2. Basis: In order to obtain the optimal air-fuel mixture under various operating conditions, an electronically controlled gasoline injection engine must accurately measure the amount of air entering the engine at each moment, which serves as the main basis for the ECU to calculate the fuel injection amount.

What is the Difference Between Highways and Urban Roads?

Urban roads and highways differ in their functions. The specific details are as follows: Urban Roads: Constructed by urban construction administrative departments in accordance with the "Urban Road Design Specifications," they provide engineering facilities for various vehicles (non-rail) and pedestrians, including related bridges, tunnels, and ferry crossings. Highways: Built by highway construction, maintenance, and management departments under the transportation administrative authorities in accordance with the "Highway Engineering Technical Standards," they are primarily designed for motor vehicles and meet certain technical standards and facilities. Highways connect cities, urban and rural areas, and rural areas, serving as public roads for vehicles, including highway bridges, tunnels, and intersections. Differences: Urban roads refer to roads within urban areas that meet certain technical conditions and facilities, necessarily located within urban planning zones, serving the city itself and emphasizing service and accessibility functions along the route. Highways connect cities, urban and rural areas, and rural and industrial-mining regions, not necessarily within urban planning zones, with their functional positioning focused on interregional transportation links, primarily emphasizing traffic flow.

What displacement motorcycles are allowed on highways?

Motorcycles with an engine displacement above 50cc are permitted on highways. The regulations and requirements for motorcycles legally using highways are as follows: Regulations for motorcycles legally using highways: According to Article 67 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailer trucks, and other motor vehicles designed with a maximum speed below 70 kilometers per hour are not allowed to enter highways. The above regulations do not include a prohibition on motorcycles. Therefore, motorcycles can legally drive on highways. Requirements for motorcycles on highways: Highways have explicit speed regulations. The maximum speed for cars is 120 km/h, but motorcycles on highways cannot exceed 80 km/h, and the minimum speed cannot be below 60 km/h. This can indeed be challenging for riders who are not adept at controlling their speed. Within this speed range, there is only a 20 km/h fluctuation, making it easy to exceed the speed limit or fall below the minimum speed requirement if not carefully managed.

What is the replacement interval for ignition coils?

Ignition coils typically need replacement every 100,000 kilometers. As a core component in the engine ignition system, the ignition coil primarily functions to intermittently convert the vehicle's low-voltage electricity into high-voltage electricity. The replacement procedure for ignition coils is as follows: 1. Open the ignition coil cover on top of the engine and remove the fixing screws using a pentagonal wrench; 2. Disconnect the ignition coil power plug, gently pry it up with a screwdriver, and remove the ignition coil; 3. Install the new ignition coil, tighten the screws, and reconnect the power plug. Causes of ignition coil failure include: 1. The engine not running while the ignition switch remains on for an extended period; 2. Engine overheating, causing the coil's insulating varnish to melt and fail; 3. Excessive spark plug electrode gap, increasing the ignition coil's load and leading to high-voltage coil breakdown, resulting in short circuits or open circuits; 4. High-voltage line breakage, preventing the generated high-voltage electricity from flowing, which can easily cause the high-voltage coil to break down.
