The reasons for a heavy throttle may include issues with the throttle spring, poor fuel quality, or damaged spark plugs. Specific causes and solutions: Spring issue: During acceleration, if the car's throttle feels heavy, it might be due to a too-stiff spring beneath the throttle or excessive spring tension. It is recommended to replace the spring. Fuel quality: This is related to the type of fuel used in the car. If the gasoline contains impurities, the fuel filter can easily become clogged, affecting the engine's normal operation and the car's power. It is advisable to refuel at reputable gas stations. Check the condition of the spark plugs. If the spark plugs are damaged, the throttle pedal will also be affected. Spark plugs are consumable items and should be replaced after a certain period of use. If spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, the electrode gap will increase, leading to engine carbon buildup, which severely impacts the engine's performance.

How to Read the Car Fuel Gauge?

The car's fuel gauge is located on the dashboard, commonly found in analog (needle-type) or digital forms. It is marked with letters F and E at both ends. When the needle points to F, it indicates the tank is full; pointing to E means the fuel is empty, and pointing to the middle suggests half a tank of fuel remains. When the fuel warning light turns on, it means the fuel gauge is approaching the E mark. Here is some related information: Generally, when the car's fuel gauge needle reaches the red line, the tank has about 10% fuel left, allowing an average driving range of 20-60 kilometers, depending on the vehicle model. If you continue driving without refueling after reaching the red line, it may damage the fuel pump.

Why Does the Car Air Conditioner Make a Gurgling Water Sound?

The reasons why you can hear water sounds when the car air conditioner is on include insufficient engine coolant and detached central air conditioning hoses. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: Insufficient Engine Coolant: When you hear water sounds with the car air conditioner on, this sound is produced as water passes through the heater core. Check if the engine coolant is insufficient. The solution is to first add antifreeze and then press the accelerator to release air. Detached Central Air Conditioning Hose: When you hear water sounds with the car air conditioner on, it is because the air conditioning condensate water is supposed to flow out of the cabin through the hose.
