When the throttle is pressed but the RPM does not increase and the car lacks power, the most common causes are a clogged fuel filter or fuel injector, leading to the fuel pump not working properly and insufficient fuel pressure. In such cases, replacing the fuel filter or fuel injector is necessary. Without seeing the actual vehicle, an accurate diagnosis is difficult. Besides the aforementioned reasons, here are some other possible causes: 1. Fault in the clutch system (lubrication issues or wear); 2. Malfunction of the throttle body or stepper motor; 3. Problems with the exhaust system. 4. Short circuits or poor conductivity in the electrical wiring (such as ignition coils, spark plugs, etc.); 5. Use of low-quality or contaminated gasoline.

What is the Difference Between Antifreeze and Water?

Antifreeze and water differ in their properties: antifreeze has the characteristics of being freeze-resistant and high-temperature resistant, while water has no such properties. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which serves two purposes. First, when the vehicle is not running, it prevents freezing because the antifreeze is inside the engine block. If the liquid turns into a solid, its volume expands, which can crack the engine block. The second purpose is to cool the engine after the vehicle starts, preventing the engine from overheating and causing damage. Antifreeze has a lower freezing point than water, better freeze resistance, a higher boiling point, and superior evaporation resistance compared to water. When the engine is running, it operates at high temperatures. If water were used for cooling, since its boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius, it would evaporate into steam when the temperature reaches 100 degrees. The water level would gradually decrease, and once all the water evaporates, it would no longer be able to cool the engine, leading to engine damage.

What does 342 on the valve tappet represent?

The number 342 on the valve tappet represents thickness. Here are the relevant details: 1. Hydraulic Tappet: The hydraulic tappet maintains constant contact with the camshaft, operating without any clearance. Inside the tappet, hydraulic pressure is used to adjust the clearance. The hydraulic tappet mainly consists of a plunger, a check valve, and a check valve spring. It stores or releases engine oil through the action of the check valve, and by altering the oil pressure within the tappet chamber, the working length of the hydraulic tappet can be adjusted, thereby automatically regulating the valve clearance. 2. Valve Tappet Cleaning Interval: The cleaning interval depends on various factors, such as the vehicle's driving environment, the control method of the fuel-injected engine, and air quality. Generally, cleaning is required every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. If the vehicle operates in a heavily polluted environment (mainly referring to inhalable particulate matter), impurities can quickly accumulate on the throttle body. Over time, this can affect the engine's air intake, necessitating cleaning. This phenomenon is most noticeable when starting the vehicle.

What is the difference between a tachometer and an odometer?

Here are the differences between a tachometer and an odometer: 1. Position: Generally, the tachometer is on the left side and the speedometer is on the right. 2. Markings: The tachometer is marked from 0-6000 RPM, while the speedometer is marked from 0-220 km/h. Below is additional information: 1. Position: The odometer (mileage meter) is located below the tachometer and displays the distance traveled in numerical form. 2. Significance: The engine's RPM relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with RPM. Therefore, when stating the engine's effective power, the corresponding RPM must also be specified.

What Causes Auto Hold Failure?

Auto hold failure is caused by a malfunction in the ABS pump. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Auto Hold: The foreign term for auto hold is AUTO-HOLD, which refers to an automatic braking function. When this function is activated, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Precautions: Regardless of the situation when parking, it is essential to develop the habit of pulling the handbrake lever tightly when leaving the vehicle. When using the handbrake, the lever must be pulled tightly; otherwise, it is easy to forget to release it when starting, which can lead to severe wear on the rear brake pads if the vehicle is forced to move.
