Excessive fuel mixture richness requires checking for air leaks in the intake system. If none are found, the issue likely lies with the fuel injectors. A fuel injector atomization test or cleaning may resolve the problem. Introduction to car idle: Car idle is not a speed but rather an operational condition. When the engine runs without load, it's called idling. Releasing the accelerator pedal completely puts the engine in idle state. The rotational speed during idling is called idle speed, which can be adjusted by modifying throttle opening size. Generally, the optimal idle speed is the lowest RPM at which the engine doesn't vibrate. Function of car idle: Idling overcomes the engine's internal resistance, maintaining minimum rotation speed to facilitate driving and temporary parking. For example, during traffic light stops or congestion, though brief, temporarily shutting off the engine can achieve immediate energy-saving and emission-reduction effects.

What are the reasons for excessive engine oil consumption in cars?

Excessive engine oil consumption in cars can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Oil leakage; 2. Clogged crankcase ventilation pipes; 3. Wear between the valve stem and valve guide; 4. Worn or damaged valve stem seals; 5. Incorrect installation of piston rings during maintenance, causing oil to enter the combustion chamber; 6. Piston rings stuck due to gumming or severely worn; 7. Improper selection of lubricating oil with excessively low viscosity; 8. Overfilling of lubricating oil. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers.

Symptoms of a Loose Car Engine Belt?

Symptoms of a loose car engine belt: unstable engine operation, weak acceleration, high fuel consumption, black smoke during acceleration, and elevated water temperature. More information about car engine belts is as follows: 1. Car engine belts are generally divided into two types: one is the timing belt of the engine's valve train, and the other is the drive belt for external engine equipment, such as the generator, air conditioning compressor, water pump, power steering pump, etc. 2. When the tension of the timing belt in the engine's valve train is insufficient or the belt is aged and stretched, it will affect the normal opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. 3. A loose belt can also cause abnormal noises when accelerating due to the belt hitting the belt housing. In the most severe cases, timing belt skipping or even timing belt breakage may occur, leading to damage to the engine's valves.
