What are the faults caused by the throttle of Changhe Furuida?
2 Answers
Changhe Furuida throttle may cause faults such as black smoke from the exhaust pipe and excessive gasoline consumption. Definition of throttle: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. Classification of throttle: There are two types of throttles: the traditional cable type and the electronic throttle. The traditional engine throttle control mechanism works through a cable (soft steel wire) or a rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other end connected to the throttle linkage plate. The electronic throttle mainly uses a throttle position sensor to control the opening angle of the throttle according to the energy required by the engine, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.
I've been driving the Changhe Furuida for several years, and a common issue with the throttle is unstable idling, where the engine speed fluctuates up and down when parked. When accelerating, the throttle response feels sluggish, and sometimes the engine suddenly stalls, which is quite annoying. The possible causes could be excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body causing it to stick or a faulty sensor leading to inaccurate computer control. Once, I experienced a lack of power while accelerating on the highway, which nearly caused an accident. After inspection, it turned out the throttle was dirty with heavy carbon deposits and needed cleaning. The carbon buildup comes from poor fuel quality and incomplete combustion. I recommend using high-quality fuel and adding some cleaning additives as a preventive measure. If the problem persists, fuel consumption will increase significantly, and it may even damage engine components, so addressing it early saves money and hassle.
