The symptoms of a dirty throttle body are: 1. When accelerating, you may feel the throttle is sticky, heavy, the car accelerates slowly, the RPM rises sluggishly when pressing the throttle at idle, with delayed response, and the car speed drops immediately when releasing the throttle while driving; 2. It affects the precision and smoothness of engine air intake, with a noticeable issue being potential idle shaking or even stalling, as well as unsteady acceleration when pressing the throttle. The causes of a dirty throttle body are: 1. Driving environment, poor air filter performance, high dust levels in the surrounding environment; 2. Low-quality engine oil with high evaporation rate; 3. Oil vapor and impurities from the crankcase; 4. After turning off the engine, the throttle cannot seal completely, allowing dust to accumulate over time.

How to Save Yourself When the Brakes Fail

After the brakes fail, in addition to solving the problem of slowing down, you also need to pay attention to the surrounding vehicles. Using hazard lights and the horn can alert nearby vehicles. Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly several times will apply pressure to the air pressure braking system in the oil pipe, increasing the chance of restoring braking force. If the braking force cannot be restored after multiple attempts, you will need to use the handbrake to slow down the vehicle.
