Intake manifold slight leakage can cause incorrect air-fuel mixture matching, which may trigger the engine exhaust warning light. Below are the relevant details: Function of the intake manifold: The intake manifold is a component of the engine's intake system. This pipe distributes air to each cylinder. The inner walls of the intake manifold are usually smooth to reduce resistance. Solution for slight intake manifold leakage: When installing the air filter element, it must be properly installed; otherwise, it will affect the filtering performance. When replacing the air filter element, check whether the surface of the old filter is very dirty. If the surface of the old air filter is clean, it indicates that the air filter did not perform its filtering function.

Does replacing glass affect sealing?

There is basically no impact. The front windshield of a car is generally adhered to the windshield frame with sealant, and with sufficient adhesive amount, there is not much difference from the original. Precautions for replacing car glass: Generally speaking, depending on the quality of the glass adhesive and seasonal factors, it usually takes one to three days for the adhesive to fully cure. During this period before it is completely dry, although you can drive, extra caution is necessary. Avoid washing the car: Do not wash the car within three days after replacing the windshield. Remove the tape fixing the windshield position after three days. Watch the road conditions: Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads and avoid sudden braking or rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. Do not drive on highways and keep the maximum speed below 80 km/h. Avoid applying window film within seven days. After replacing the rear windshield, do not open the windows while driving for three days to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure.

Are There Fines for Modified Vehicles?

Driving an illegally modified motor vehicle on the road will result in the vehicle being impounded by the traffic management department of the public security authorities. The illegal modifications will be confiscated, the vehicle will be ordered to be restored to its original condition, and a fine will be imposed according to the law. Precautions for vehicle modifications are as follows: Installing a spoiler: The commonly referred to "spoiler" is more professionally known as a rear wing, which is often seen on sports cars and high-performance vehicles. Nowadays, some regular vehicles are also equipped with spoilers. Upgrading the ignition system: Appropriate improvements to the ignition system can enhance the vehicle's performance. Modifications to the ignition system include upgrading spark plugs, spark energy, and ignition wires. Installing a body kit: Body kits originated from motorsports and primarily serve to reduce the adverse airflow generated during vehicle movement while increasing downforce, making the car more stable during driving. Body kits are the most visually distinctive accessories that highlight personalization, which is why many car owners install them for aesthetic purposes.

What is the connecting rod in an engine?

The connecting rod is one of the main components of engine power transmission, connecting the piston and the crankshaft. The rod body of the connecting rod has an "I"-shaped profile, requiring high density and low mass. Introduction to linkage mechanisms: The linkage mechanism (Linkage-Mechanism), also known as a lower pair mechanism, is a category of mechanical components. It refers to an assembly composed of several (two or more) components with defined relative motions connected by lower pairs (revolute pairs or prismatic pairs). Composition of linkage mechanisms: A planar linkage mechanism is a common type of transmission mechanism. Its most basic and widely used form is the planar four-bar mechanism composed of four components. Since most components in the mechanism are rod-shaped, they are often referred to as rods. Lower pairs involve surface contact, which is wear-resistant. Additionally, the contact surfaces of revolute and prismatic pairs are cylindrical and planar, making them simple to manufacture and easy to achieve high manufacturing precision. Linkage mechanisms are widely used in various machinery and instruments.

How Long Is the Warranty for a Car Battery?

Generally, the warranty period for a car battery is one year. As it is considered a wearable part, the warranty period is relatively short. You can refer to the warranty manual, which clearly specifies the battery warranty period. Car battery maintenance methods: Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods; avoid repeatedly starting the vehicle without intervals; start the car frequently to charge the battery; regularly inspect the battery components and connecting wires; refrain from using electrical appliances in the car after turning off the engine. Causes of car battery damage: The cigarette lighter continues to work after the engine is turned off; multimedia or air conditioning systems are not turned off before shutting down the engine; prolonged use of electricity after turning off the engine; frequent or extended ignition attempts.

What Causes the Car Body to Shake When Shifting Gears?

The reasons for the car body shaking when shifting gears are as follows: Dirty Throttle or Excessive Carbon Deposits on the Fuel Injector: When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start fuel injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start the engine. In this situation, the engine will only start easily once the carbon deposits have absorbed enough gasoline to become saturated. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits will be drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum suction, causing the air-fuel mixture to become too rich. The fluctuating air-fuel mixture—sometimes too lean, sometimes too rich—leads to unstable idling and shaking after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly. Check the Spark Plugs: For ignition system issues, inspect the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing can also cause such symptoms. 4S Shop Inspection: Unstable Fuel Pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still notice the car body shaking during idling, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensors are functioning normally.

Why Can a New Car Only Run at 80?

Because the car needs a break-in period initially. If the speed is too high, the car's components may not be properly broken in, which could lead to potential hazards. In short, 80 mph is not too slow; after about a month of break-in, you can increase the speed. Warm up the car before starting during the break-in period: For fuel-injected cars, turn the key to the second position and wait for 5-10 seconds before starting. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full load can damage the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, domestic cars should not exceed 75-80% of the rated load, and imported cars should not exceed 90% of the rated load. Avoid long-distance trips: Taking a new car on long trips will cause the engine to run continuously for extended periods, leading to increased wear on the components.
