Symptoms of mismatched spark plugs include engine idle shaking, difficulty starting the engine, and lack of power during acceleration. Engine idle shaking: If the engine shakes while idling, it indicates a problem with the spark plugs, such as disconnected ignition wires or mismatched spark plugs during replacement. Difficulty starting the engine: If the engine requires multiple ignition attempts to start and stalls more frequently while idling, these are signs of mismatched spark plugs. Lack of power during acceleration and increased fuel consumption: Generally, after replacing spark plugs, the engine should run smoothly with strong acceleration and ample power, while also improving fuel efficiency. If the vehicle lacks power during acceleration and fuel consumption increases, it is likely due to an issue with the spark plugs.

How to Adjust Car Seat Position?

Adjusting the car seat position involves the following steps: 1. When adjusting the height, it is generally recommended to maintain a distance of one to two fists between the head and the car roof. This distance ensures that the eye level is positioned slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. 2. When adjusting the backrest, lean slightly backward, avoiding an overly upright position, which reduces the distance between the body and the steering wheel. 3. The headrest should be as close to the head as possible, preferably not exceeding 7cm. Car seats can be categorized by shape into separate seats and bench seats; by function into fixed, removable, and adjustable seats; and by passenger capacity into single, double, and multi-person seats.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel Back?

The steps to turn the steering wheel back are: 1. Hold the steering wheel with your left hand at the 9 o'clock position and your right hand at the 3 o'clock position; 2. When turning until both hands are parallel, withdraw your left hand and place it at the current 3 o'clock position on the steering wheel, then continue turning left to lock the steering; 3. When returning to the center, do not rush to switch hands. The steering wheel has a total of 3 turns—one and a half turns to lock it and one and a half turns to return it to the center. Therefore, first turn back half a turn, then another full turn. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. It is generally connected to the steering shaft via a spline. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver when turning.

Do Electric Vehicles Require Annual Inspections?

Electric vehicles do require annual inspections. For privately-owned passenger vehicles, both pure fuel-powered models and electric models must undergo on-site testing after 6 years of use. Vehicles aged between 6 to 15 years require annual inspections, while those over 15 years old need semi-annual inspections. The main difference lies in the inspection items - pure electric vehicles are exempt from tailpipe emissions testing, but still require functional checks like lighting, exterior appearance, and chassis. After passing the inspection, pure electric vehicles must display the annual inspection sticker on their windshields, just like conventional fuel vehicles, as proof of compliance. Required documents for EV annual inspection: vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, vehicle tax payment or exemption proof, owner's ID card. If processed by an agent, the agent must bring their own ID card.

Does a Car Consume Fuel When Running but Not Moving?

Starting the car and staying stationary will consume fuel because the internal components of the car are in operation. Below is relevant information about idling: 1. Idle State: Refers to a working condition when the engine is running without load. When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in an idle state. When adjusting the idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly, as this may cause early wear to the engine. It is recommended to have the idle speed adjusted at an automotive repair facility. 2. Idle Speed: The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size and the idle fuel supply. Generally, the optimal idle speed is the lowest RPM within the idle range where the engine does not shake and maintains good acceleration performance.
