Related introduction is as follows: 1. Symptoms of throttle failure: (1) Unstable engine idle speed, high idle speed persists and does not drop, difficulty in engine starting, especially cold starting. (2) Unstable engine idle speed or no idle speed. (3) Difficulty in engine starting. (4) Insufficient engine power, poor acceleration performance, and unstable operation. 2. Causes: If the throttle position sensor is damaged, it will cause engine shaking and unstable idle speed. Because the throttle position sensor detects the signal of throttle opening. The engine computer adjusts the fuel injection amount and ignition timing based on the throttle opening. If the throttle sensor is faulty, the engine computer cannot correctly receive the throttle opening signal, resulting in the inability to accurately adjust the fuel injection amount and ignition timing. In severe cases, the engine may not start if the throttle is faulty.

What is the sequence for starting on level ground?

The sequence for starting on level ground: If it is a manual transmission car, you need to depress the clutch pedal to start the engine, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch pedal upwards, and after the clutch reaches the engagement point, continue to lift it while gradually pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot to start moving. If it is an automatic transmission car, first depress the brake pedal to start the engine, release the handbrake and shift into D gear, then release the brake pedal and the car will move forward. Before starting the engine of an automatic transmission car, make sure the transmission is in P gear and the right foot is pressing the brake pedal, otherwise the engine cannot be started. When parking an automatic transmission car, also shift into P gear, otherwise the car key cannot be removed. Before shifting into P gear in an automatic transmission car, ensure the car is completely stopped to avoid damaging the transmission.

What are the causes of BYD Han fires?

BYD Han fires can be attributed to two main types: short circuits in electrical wiring or internal battery short circuits. Additional information: 1. Lithium battery heat generation issue: Lithium battery materials are more prone to heat generation during charging and discharging, and with the continuous increase in energy density, the possibility of thermal runaway also rises. If the battery pack is deformed during a car collision, causing the battery separator to tear and internal short circuits, it can easily lead to a fire due to electrolyte leakage. 2. Electrolyte issue: The 'growth' of lithium batteries consumes the electrolyte, which can cause battery short circuits, leading to combustion or explosion. Even if the above issues are addressed, it is difficult to avoid heat generation in power batteries during charging and use. Equipping vehicles with an excellent battery thermal management system is also key to reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion. However, due to cost constraints, many new energy vehicles only use natural cooling methods, leading to spontaneous combustion caused by battery overheating in new energy vehicles.

Is the Safety Hammer Still Effective for Tinted Car Windows?

Glass hammers are tools designed to shatter windows for emergency escape in vehicles. They are installed within the vehicle body and should not be repurposed. They are unrelated to window tinting. Even though tinted windows may not fall out completely when shattered by a hammer, they can be kicked out in large pieces to facilitate escape. Below are specific methods to check if a window has been replaced: 1. Check the manufacturer: Examine the manufacturer's code on the glass to identify which company produced it. Typically, car manufacturers purchase glass in bulk and do not use multiple brands or the same brand from different origins. 2. Check the production date: If the production dates of the glass pieces on a car vary significantly, it may indicate that the car has been refurbished or the glass has been replaced. 3. Check the glass markings: If the car window has been replaced, the markings on the new glass will differ significantly from the original factory markings.

In summer, should you turn on the heater or the air conditioner to remove fog inside the car?

In summer, turn on the air conditioner to remove fog inside the car. Principle of using cold air to defog: On rainy days, the most common method to deal with fogging on the windshield while driving is to turn on the air conditioner and direct it to blow onto the front windshield. The cold air quickly disperses the fog on the glass, providing a fast and direct effect. This happens because the cold air creates a "cold air film" on the glass surface, preventing carbon dioxide from condensing on the glass, thus achieving the defogging effect. Do not use hot air to defog in winter: Hot air can also remove fog, but if you use hot air to defog the front windshield on a rainy day, it will actually worsen the fogging. Right after turning on the hot air, the front windshield may immediately become like "frosted glass." Therefore, if you are driving and the windows fog up due to rain, you should not use hot air to defog.
