What Causes Excessive Nitric Oxide in Cars?
1 Answers
Excessive nitric oxide in cars is caused by: clogged or failed three-way catalytic converters, leading to reduced performance. Solutions for excessive nitric oxide in cars: 1. Consistently use high-quality gasoline to ensure its purity; 2. Regularly clean the fuel injectors and three-way catalytic converter to ensure accurate fuel injection; 3. Replace the oxygen sensor. Cars produce nitric oxide because fuel combustion in vehicles occurs through spark plug ignition with air intake, which contains nitrogen and oxygen. During spark plug discharge and ignition, fuel combustion also generates significant heat, promoting a chemical reaction between nitrogen and oxygen.
