The symptoms of a dirty throttle body include: 1. When accelerating, you may feel the throttle is sticky, heavy, and the speed increases slowly. When pressing the throttle at idle, the RPM rises slowly with delayed response, and the speed drops immediately upon releasing the throttle; 2. The precision and smoothness of engine intake are compromised, causing shaking or even stalling at idle, and unsteady acceleration when pressing the throttle. Generally, the cleaning cycle for the throttle body is approximately 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, but this may vary depending on the vehicle condition and driving habits. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, often referred to as the throat of the car engine.

What Causes the Wiper Blade to Make Noise When Wiping?

Wiper blades make noise when wiping due to the following three reasons: 1. Foreign objects on the windshield: When small debris or sand gets trapped between the wiper blade and the glass, noise occurs during operation. Simply spray windshield washer fluid multiple times to rinse away the debris, and the noise will usually disappear. 2. Damage to the wiper linkage mechanism: The wiper is an electric linkage mechanism, and damage to any component in between can cause noise during wiping. If damaged, visit an auto repair shop for inspection and replace faulty parts promptly. 3. Wiper blade angle issue: If the wiper blade angle is incorrect, it can also cause noise. As wiper blades age, they may deform slightly, leading to either excessive tightness or looseness against the windshield, both of which can produce noise. In this case, manually adjust the wiper blade angle by gently twisting the wiper arm (try both toward and away from the windshield), then activate the wiper to check if the noise persists. If the noise remains, take the vehicle to an auto repair shop for further adjustment.
