There will be failure modes. The main failure modes of a throttle cable include sticking, breaking, wear, and damage. Below is relevant information about the vehicle throttle: 1. Function of the car throttle: The throttle in a gasoline engine does not control the fuel injection volume but rather the opening degree of the throttle valve. A smaller opening means less mixture enters the cylinder, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa. 2. Solutions for a heavy throttle: If the throttle feels heavy, you can perform a fuel system cleaning. Alternatively, try accelerating further to see if the engine speed increases but the vehicle speed does not. If this occurs, it may be due to a damaged sensor inside the transmission locking the overdrive gear.

What is the difference between 1.5T and 1.5L in cars?

The engine displacement of 1.5T and 1.5L refers to the nature of the car's engine. L stands for a naturally aspirated engine, while T represents a turbocharged engine. Below are the specific differences between 1.5T and 1.5L: 1. In terms of meaning: 1.5T indicates a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and 1.5L represents a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. 2. In terms of power: 1.5T is better than 1.5L. Under the same displacement, the "T" engine is often much more powerful than the "L" engine. 3. In terms of fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of 1.5L models is lower than that of 1.5T models. This is because vehicles with "L" engines intake air while drawing fuel, resulting in lower fuel consumption.
