Here are the specific causes of evaporative emission system leaks: 1. Poor sealing: The fuel tank cap gasket is faulty, or the sealing at pipe connections is inadequate, leading to leaks. 2. Poor contact: Poor welding at the carbon canister friction weld or loose seals at the carbon canister engine solenoid valve or carbon canister atmospheric vent solenoid valve. 3. Punctures creating leak points: Pipes, carbon canister, or fuel tank punctured by gravel, causing leaks. Below is additional information about the evaporative emission system: 1. Impact of leaks: If the evaporative emission system has leaks, gasoline can easily evaporate, and fuel vapors will escape from the fuel tank. If these vapors are not controlled, they not only pollute the atmosphere but also waste energy. 2. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL): China VI vehicles require the OBD system to detect evaporative emission system leaks. If the leak exceeds the equivalent of a 1mm (0.04-inch) diameter hole, the OBD must illuminate the MIL.

How to Adjust Idle Speed with Electronic Throttle?

Methods for adjusting idle speed with electronic throttle: 1. For high-end cars, computer adjustment and matching are sufficient, while low-end cars have an adjustment screw on the throttle: open the throttle, adjust the screw to stabilize the engine speed, and place a screwdriver on the idle screw; 2. When the engine is about to stall, use the screwdriver to turn out the idle screw, allowing the engine to run stably and reach high speed. Then, turn out the throttle screw to reduce the engine speed from high to low; 3. Next, turn out the screw again to increase the engine speed. Repeat this process until the throttle opening reaches its maximum, then suddenly close the throttle. The electronic throttle is a crucial control component of the car engine, consisting of the engine, speed sensor, throttle, etc. The electronic throttle allows precise control of the throttle opening, improving fuel economy, reducing emissions, and achieving satisfactory handling performance.

Can 92 and 95 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed?

92 and 95 octane gasoline can be mixed. The composition of 95 octane gasoline is the same as that of 92 octane, with 95 octane being more stable. The quality of both types of gasoline is identical; the only difference lies in the amount of anti-knock agent added. Each engine has a different compression ratio, and the recommended gasoline grade can be found on the inside of the fuel tank cap. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.5 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. Engines with higher compression ratios have greater power and fuel efficiency but lower stability, hence requiring gasoline with better anti-knock properties. The advantage of 95 octane gasoline over 92 octane lies in its higher proportion of octane in the gasoline, which provides better anti-knock performance.
