The consequences of not replacing car spark plugs for a long time include: 1. Difficulty in ignition, easy stalling, insufficient power, weak acceleration, accelerated carbon deposit formation, manifested as weak vehicle performance, slow acceleration when stepping on the throttle, and missing a gear in power; 2. Misfire causing cylinder malfunction (cylinder misfire), manifested as engine shaking, engine fault light turning on, and intermittent exhaust pipe sound with popping noises when listening carefully; 3. Incomplete combustion leading to failure to meet tailpipe emission standards, causing environmental pollution. What are the effects of damaged spark plugs: If spark plugs are damaged, they can directly cause multiple problems such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The main issue is difficulty in ignition, affecting the normal use of the vehicle. Severe spark plug erosion, blistering at the top of the spark plug, damaged or melted electrodes, and erosion all indicate that the spark plug is damaged and should be replaced.

What are the reasons why the BYD Qin cannot charge?

Here are the specific reasons why the BYD Qin cannot charge: 1. Check whether the connection of the charging cable circuit is secure, whether the connection between the wire and the plug is intact, and carefully observe whether there are signs of sparking or burning at the socket and plug, as well as any line damage or breakage. 2. Check whether the charger is damaged and whether the charging parameters meet the requirements, i.e., the initial charging current reaches 1.6~2.5A/cell; the maximum charging voltage reaches 14.8~14.9V/cell. 3. Check whether the battery is dry, i.e., whether the battery is severely low on electrolyte. 4. Check whether the battery plates have irreversible sulfation. The irreversible sulfation of the plates can be determined by measuring the change in terminal voltage during charging and discharging. During charging, the battery voltage rises very quickly, and the battery does not hold charge or holds very little charge.

What brand is aoteli tires?

aoteli refers to Aoteli tires, which are produced in Shandong. The company is Dongying Sentury Rubber Group Co., Ltd., which also owns brands such as Three A, Yatai, Yatong, and Sentury. Shandong is the largest tire production base in China, with most domestic tires originating from there. Below are the functions of automotive tires: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: They bear the vehicle's load and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Transmitting traction and braking torque: They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to enhance the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities; working together with the vehicle's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. Preventing damage to vehicle components: They protect vehicle parts from severe vibrations and premature wear, adapt to high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

Why does the Lavida Plus engine shake when the hood is opened?

The most common cause of engine shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. Excessive carbon buildup: It is normal for a car to shake slightly when starting cold, as fuel atomization is poor at this time, leading to uneven air-fuel mixture and non-ideal combustion conditions. This results in uneven operation of the cylinders, causing the engine to shake. The shaking should subside once the engine reaches normal operating temperature. If the car is difficult to start when cold and shakes severely after starting, it is likely due to excessive carbon buildup in the engine. Other possible causes: If the engine continues to shake severely even after reaching normal operating temperature, the reasons may include mechanical faults such as improperly sealing valves or uneven cylinder pressure; a dirty or damaged throttle body in the air supply system; low or fluctuating fuel supply pressure or severely carbon-clogged fuel injectors; severe carbon buildup or electrode erosion in the spark plugs, or a faulty ignition coil causing a misfire; or damaged engine mounts.
