The reasons for a car's lack of power and inability to accelerate may be due to carbon deposits or poor fuel quality. Carbon deposits: There are three reasons for a car's lack of acceleration power. First, carbon deposits may accumulate on the valves, idle speed motor, intake tract, combustion chamber, and spark plugs, causing the car to stall when idling. Poor fuel quality: This can lead to a lack of acceleration power, affecting the gasoline filter and fuel lines, which may result in poor fuel supply and consequently weak acceleration. It can also impact the lifespan of the exhaust system's three-way catalytic converter. If the three-way catalytic converter is clogged, it will directly affect the vehicle's acceleration performance and also lead to increased fuel consumption, resulting in a lack of acceleration power.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the hybrid Odyssey can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The hybrid Odyssey uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.75L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 740km. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Why does the belt make a screeching noise when the air conditioning is turned on?

Because the contact surface between the belt and the pulley has become too smooth. Below is relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Air conditioning layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have different layout methods. Currently, most cars widely use an integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal fan, and control mechanism together, collectively referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly. 2. Air conditioning components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Car air conditioning generally includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipes, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. Car air conditioning is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure pipelines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipelines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid pipelines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipelines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.

How much weight can a regular car roof bear?

Generally, the pressure a regular car roof can bear is 1.5 times the weight of the car. Below are specific details about the damage caused by overloading: 1. Reduced braking performance: Increases the non-safe zone distance. There are many factors affecting a car's braking distance, among which changes in the car's load directly affect the length of the braking distance. Overloaded cars have increased inertia, leading to longer braking distances. The extension of the non-safe zone distance can easily lead to traffic accidents. 2. Shortens the lifespan of leaf springs: Reduces the vehicle's passing capability. Due to overloading, leaf springs are subjected to excessive force, and continuous bouncing during driving shortens their lifespan. Additionally, excessive load causes the vehicle to sink overall, reducing the distance from the ground and diminishing the car's passing ability. 3. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Overloading the car causes the tires to bear excessive weight and deform, while also increasing friction, which shortens the tire's lifespan.

Is the Fender the Same as the Mudguard?

Fender is the same as mudguard. Below are the specific details about the car mudguard: 1. Features of the mudguard: The mudguard is a covering part on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, acting as an outer shell. It complies with fluid dynamics, reducing the drag coefficient and making the vehicle run more smoothly. 2. Front and rear mudguards: The front mudguard is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum space for the front wheel's rotation and movement. The rear mudguard does not have the issue of wheel rotation friction. For aerodynamic considerations, the rear mudguard is slightly arched and protrudes outward. 3. Replacement instructions: The side panel of the car body is a single piece from the A-pillar to the rear mudguard. The rear mudguard is directly welded by the manufacturer using original welding technology. Neither auto repair shops nor insurance companies recommend replacing it casually. However, some car mudguards are independent, especially the front mudguard, because the front mudguard has a higher chance of collision, and independent assembly makes it easier to replace the entire part.
