Symptoms of a malfunctioning fuel injector: 1. Engine shaking: When the fuel injector is damaged and fuel injection is obstructed, the engine may exhibit operational shaking during operation; 2. Reduced power and increased fuel consumption: As the fuel injector deteriorates, the fuel injection volume and pressure cannot be guaranteed, leading to symptoms such as decreased vehicle power and increased fuel consumption; 3. Increased tailpipe emissions pollution: Faulty fuel injectors inevitably affect the mixing and combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in increased pollutant emissions from the vehicle's exhaust; 4. Difficulty starting or even stalling: If the fuel injector is severely damaged, the vehicle may experience difficulty starting or even sudden stalling while driving; 5. Engine misfire: If the fuel injector of a specific cylinder is severely damaged, the engine is highly likely to misfire, causing severe shaking of the engine; 6. Black smoke from the exhaust: As the fuel injector fails, the atomization of fuel and its mixture with air cannot be ensured, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in black smoke from the exhaust and increased engine carbon deposits.

When is the Mid-Autumn Festival toll-free on highways?

Normally, highways are not toll-free during the Mid-Autumn Festival, unless it coincides with the National Day holiday, in which case tolls are waived. In 2021, the Mid-Autumn Festival was subject to regular toll charges, and drivers had to pay highway fees. Reasons why highways are not toll-free during the Mid-Autumn Festival: 1. Funding issues: The primary reason is financial. More toll-free days mean less revenue for highway companies. The current policy is a balance of interests among all stakeholders. 2. Toll-free holidays: Only the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, and National Day have toll-free highways. Other holidays, including New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, remain subject to regular tolls.
