BYD F3 jerking and failing to accelerate when pressing the throttle can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Engine misfire: An engine misfire can lead to insufficient power and acceleration, with noticeable gaps in exhaust emissions and severe shaking, resulting in a jerking sound similar to a tractor. 2. Causes of engine misfire: Mainly due to excessively rich air-fuel mixture or poor spark plug performance. Below are the details: 1. Overly rich air-fuel mixture causing jerking and failure to accelerate: Under normal conditions, the engine's combustible air-fuel mixture ratio is Air/Fuel = 1/14.7. Too little air or too much fuel can cause the mixture to exceed this ratio. An overly rich mixture can lead to knocking sounds, jerking, and weak engine acceleration. Causes of insufficient air include faulty air flow meters, carbon buildup in the throttle body, throttle motor failure, clogged air filters, faulty oxygen sensors, etc. Causes of excessive fuel may include faulty fuel pumps, leaking fuel injectors, faulty coolant temperature sensors, etc. 2. Poor spark plug performance causing jerking and failure to accelerate: Modern car engines use computer-controlled ignition timing. Issues such as incorrect ignition timing, faulty ignition coils, insufficient voltage from the alternator or battery, or changes in spark plug gap can lead to poor or failed combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in misfires and jerking sounds.

Which Side is the Brake and Which Side is the Accelerator?

In a vehicle, the clutch is on the left, the brake is in the middle, and the accelerator is on the right. The arrangement of the clutch, brake, and accelerator in manual transmission vehicles aligns with the driving habits of the vast majority of people. In other words, from the perspective of operational habits, flexibility, and driver comfort, this arrangement is generally optimal. When pressing the brake or accelerator, the body needs support to maintain balance. When the right foot presses the pedal, the left foot can stabilize the body on the floor. If both feet were placed on the brake and accelerator separately, both feet would be in a semi-suspended state without a stable point of support, which could easily lead to instability when pressing the accelerator or brake.

What is the symbol for blowing air on the windshield inside the car?

The symbols for blowing air on the windshield inside the car are: 1. A fan-shaped symbol indicates defrosting for the front windshield; 2. A rectangular symbol indicates defrosting for the rear windshield. How to deal with fogged windshields: 1. Cold air defogging: Locate the front window defogging switch, set the fan speed to high, turn on the AC switch, and adjust the temperature to low; 2. Warm air defogging: Turn on the heater, set the fan speed to high, and the fog will disappear in a few minutes; 3. Anti-fog spray: Simply spray it evenly on the glass surface and wipe it clean with a dry towel. The principle of anti-fog spray is to use surfactants to form a protective film on the glass surface, altering the surface tension of water molecules, causing fog droplets to coalesce into larger droplets, thus not obstructing visibility.

What is the qualified light transmittance for car window film?

Car window film with a light transmittance of 70% or higher is considered qualified. The standard requires that the lower the light transmittance of the original car glass, the higher the light transmittance of the selected sun film should be. Car window film is a thin film applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. Benefits of car window film: 1. Blocks a significant amount of heat generated by infrared rays; 2. Filters out ultraviolet rays, reducing the aging of car interiors; 3. Prevents injuries to passengers caused by accidental glass breakage; 4. Maintains privacy and safety; 5. Reduces air conditioning load and saves fuel; 6. Minimizes accidents caused by glare.

How to Adjust Door Gaps?

Door gap adjustment can be solved by adjusting the hinges. Reasons for enlarged door gaps: 1. Aging of rubber seals over time, losing their sealing and cushioning functions; 2. Resulting in loud closing sounds, door rattling on uneven roads, and dust entering through gaps on gravel roads—simply replace the door sealing rubber strips; 3. Inadequate repair after an accident, leaving the door frame in a deformed state. A car door consists of an outer panel, inner panel, window frame, glass guide channel, hinges, locks, and window accessories. The inner panel houses components like window regulators and door locks, with reinforced sections for secure assembly. For enhanced safety, anti-collision beams are usually installed inside the outer panel. The inner and outer panels are joined via flanging, adhesive bonding, or spot welding, with the outer panel designed to be lightweight and the inner panel rigid to withstand greater impact forces.

What to Do When the Car Door Suddenly Won't Open?

Solutions for when the car door suddenly won't open: First, check if the child lock inside the car is activated, preventing the door from opening. Next, try using the spare remote key to see if the remote is malfunctioning. If the remote key fails to open the door, you can also attempt to use the mechanical key to unlock it. If none of these reasons apply, it is likely a fault with the door lock mechanism itself, and you will need to contact a locksmith. The child lock is a protective tool designed to prevent children from accidentally opening the car door while inside. This feature is typically installed on the two rear doors, but most drivers rarely use it, and many new drivers are unaware that their car even has this function.

How to Install Car Door Edge Guards?

Installing car door edge guards involves the following steps: 1. Clean the door edge, peel off a small section of the edge guard, insert it into the door edge while pressing firmly, then trim off any excess. 2. Before installation, use a clean cloth to wipe the installation area. Peel off a small section of the adhesive backing on the edge guard, then carefully insert it into the door edge. While pressing the edge guard in place, gradually peel off the remaining adhesive backing and trim any excess material. Edge guards are also known as protective strips, bumper guards, or door edge protectors. Installing them effectively prevents paint scratches when opening doors, avoids damaging other vehicles' paint when parked too closely, and provides minor sound insulation benefits.
