What are the methods to address excessive carbon monoxide levels?

The methods to address excessive carbon monoxide levels are: 1. Check the air filter, spark plugs, intake air temperature sensor, and intake manifold pressure sensor, then add dual-core friction reduction repair agent and high-efficiency cleaner. If ineffective, use a three-way catalytic converter cleaner to clean the three-way catalytic converter; 2. After using the high-efficiency cleaner, add the dual-core friction reduction repair agent for repair, then use the three-way catalytic converter cleaner to clean the three-way catalytic converter; 3. After using the high-efficiency cleaner, add the dual-core friction reduction repair agent for repair. Excessive carbon monoxide levels may be caused by an overly rich engine air-fuel mixture, incomplete gasoline combustion, obstructed intake system, worn fuel injectors, or severe cylinder wear.
When I detected excessive carbon monoxide levels in the car, my first thought was safety first—this stuff is toxic and can cause dizziness or even poisoning. I immediately pulled over, rolled down all the windows for ventilation, and quickly got out to a safe location. Then I inspected the vehicle to check for cracks or leaks in the exhaust pipe and whether the engine was running properly, as incomplete combustion or aging components might be the cause. I remember one time my car exceeded the limit due to faulty spark plugs, and I had to visit a professional auto repair shop to replace the parts. For daily maintenance, I regularly service the engine to ensure the air filter is clean and even bought a carbon monoxide detector for the car—it alerts me in time. Safe driving is too important to take lightly!
Last time my car had excessive carbon monoxide levels due to a cracked exhaust pipe, making the exhaust fumes terrifyingly strong. I immediately stopped the car, rolled down the windows for ventilation, then walked a few steps outside to rest. The solution was simple: first quickly scan the exhaust pipe and engine components, temporarily wrap any leaks with tape as an emergency fix, then go to the repair shop to replace the part. Now I've learned to be smart—regularly check the car's condition to ensure the combustion system is functioning properly. Using a mobile app or small tool to measure the concentration is also quite convenient. The key is not to wait—take action as soon as you notice the problem, otherwise it affects the driving experience.
