What are the symptoms of a throttle valve failure in the Baojun 560?
2 Answers
The symptoms of throttle valve failure in the Baojun 560 include: unstable engine idle, persistently high idle speed that does not decrease, difficulty starting the engine; insufficient engine power, poor acceleration performance, and unstable operation; black smoke from the car's exhaust pipe, and increased fuel consumption. Cleaning the throttle valve: The throttle valve is the most important component of the engine system. Whether the car accelerates smoothly is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle valve. If the throttle valve is dirty, the owner can clean it themselves. Steps for cleaning the throttle valve: When cleaning the throttle valve, it does not need to be disassembled, but the sealing parts of the intake must be thoroughly cleaned. The idle speed motor must be removed to be cleaned properly. After cleaning, reassemble according to the disassembly procedure. Initialization of the throttle valve: After installation, the throttle valve must be initialized. Initialization is necessary after cleaning the throttle valve because the computer adjusts the throttle opening based on memory functions. Due to previous blockage by oil sludge, the computer automatically adjusts the throttle opening to ensure normal air intake.
Experiencing throttle issues with the Baojun 560, common symptoms include difficulty starting the car, often requiring multiple attempts to ignite. During driving, acceleration feels weak, struggling to climb slopes as if the throttle isn't responding. The engine shakes erratically at idle and frequently stalls, especially embarrassing at red lights. Fuel consumption also spikes significantly, with a full tank not lasting long. The malfunction indicator light often comes on, typically due to sensor issues or carbon buildup. Delaying repairs may damage other engine components. I recommend regular throttle cleaning, especially for city driving which is prone to carbon buildup. Addressing it early avoids extra costs and inconvenience.
