Severe car shaking and lack of acceleration power are primarily caused by excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, which obstructs proper air intake. Here's some information about the throttle body's functions: Function: Its main purpose is to detect whether the engine is in idle condition or under load, and whether it's in acceleration or deceleration mode. Location: The throttle position sensor, also known as the throttle opening sensor or throttle switch, is a device used to monitor the engine's operating state. It essentially consists of a variable resistor and several switches, installed on the throttle body. Operation method: The resistor's rotating shaft is connected to the throttle. It has two contact points: a full-open contact and an idle contact. When the throttle is in the idle position, the idle contact closes, sending an idle condition signal to the computer. When the throttle is in other positions, the idle contact opens, outputting voltage signals corresponding to different throttle angles. The computer then identifies the engine's load based on the signal voltage value, and determines whether the engine is accelerating or decelerating based on the rate of voltage change over a certain period.

What to Learn Initially When Starting to Drive?

When starting to learn driving, the first thing is to understand the basic structure of a car: 1. Seat: Before getting into the car, you will first sit on the seat, so the first thing is to adjust the seat's front and back position, height, and the angle of the backrest. The purpose is to obtain a broad field of vision while making yourself more comfortable. As someone who has been through it, the editor knows that many beginners tend to adjust the seat too far forward, always afraid of not being able to reach the clutch, accelerator, and brake. Being too close to the steering wheel can easily make the driver feel constrained, and maintaining this posture for a long time can easily lead to fatigue. Just ensure that your knees can bend naturally, you can fully press all the pedals, and your hands can naturally hold the steering wheel. 2. Seatbelt: The function of the seatbelt is to keep the driver firmly in place in case of a collision or rollover to avoid secondary injuries. If the seatbelt is not worn, when an accident occurs, the deployment of the airbag can subject the driver to tremendous pressure, potentially breaking ribs and injuring internal organs in severe cases. The driver may also come into contact with an incompletely deployed airbag too early, leading to suffocation. 3. Rearview mirrors: For beginners learning to drive, understanding how to adjust and use the rearview mirrors inside the car is equally indispensable. As the name suggests, rearview mirrors are used to observe the situation behind. Because everyone's height and body shape are different, they should be adjusted to a suitable angle. Rearview mirrors are divided into the interior rearview mirror and the two exterior side mirrors. Beginners are particularly prone to neglecting the function of the interior rearview mirror. The interior rearview mirror allows you to see vehicles directly behind, while the exterior side mirrors cannot show vehicles very close directly behind, so it's also important to adjust the angle of the interior rearview mirror while driving. When changing lanes, always make sure from the rearview mirrors that there are no vehicles within a safe distance behind before proceeding. 4. Steering wheel: Beginners often cross their hands when turning the steering wheel because initially, the left hand is at the nine o'clock position and the right hand at the three o'clock position. For example, when turning right, the left hand moves clockwise, while the right hand remains in place, leading to the awkward situation of crossed hands. The correct approach is to let the left hand turn while the right hand releases, and when the left hand reaches an uncomfortable angle, switch to the right hand to continue turning. 5. Handbrake: The handbrake is a mechanical device to prevent the car from rolling. Press the button at the front of the handbrake to release it. When parking, pull up the handbrake firmly to engage the rear wheel brakes via the cable, locking the car in place to prevent rolling. 6. Brake pedal: Commonly known as the 'foot brake,' beginners learning to drive should avoid pressing it all the way down due to nervousness, as this will cause the car to 'nod' continuously, making passengers very uncomfortable. At low speeds, gently pressing the foot brake is sufficient. Note that when the speed drops, it needs to be pressed together with the clutch; otherwise, the car will stall. 7. Clutch pedal: The clutch controls the interruption and connection of power—pressed down to interrupt and released to engage. When starting, press the clutch all the way down, then shift gears and release the handbrake. Slowly release the clutch pedal, and the car will gradually start moving. Poor clutch control can easily lead to stalling; avoid releasing the clutch abruptly. 8. Accelerator pedal: Commonly known as the 'gas pedal.' Coordinating the clutch and accelerator is the most challenging part of driving a manual car, especially when parking on a steep slope. Releasing the clutch may still cause the car to roll, so it's necessary to give the car a boost. When parking on a slope, press both the clutch and brake simultaneously, then slowly release the clutch until the car shakes. Hold the clutch steady, release the brake, immediately press the accelerator, and slowly release the clutch pedal. While it sounds simple, in practice, stalling is very common.

What are the risks of buying a mortgaged car?

The biggest risk of buying a mortgaged car is the inability to transfer ownership. A mortgaged car cannot be transferred before the mortgage is lifted. If purchased without the mortgage being lifted, it essentially constitutes a form of sub-mortgage. For a mortgaged car to be transferable, the owner must sign a mortgage release agreement. Pay attention to the source of the mortgaged car: The source of most mortgaged cars is unclear, with some even being stolen vehicles. If such a car is purchased unknowingly, although it is not illegal, the purchased vehicle may be confiscated or returned to the original owner, meaning you cannot keep the car even after purchase. Check the condition of the mortgaged car: A mortgaged car is similar to a used car, so when purchasing one, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection to determine if the vehicle has any serious issues. It is recommended that buyers perform this inspection with the assistance of professionals.

What is the name of the disc that holds the wheel bolts on a car?

The disc that holds the wheel bolts on a car is called the wheel hub. Below is a detailed introduction about car wheel hubs: 1. Overview: The wheel hub (Car-Rim) is the central part of the wheel where the axle is installed, also known as the "wheel rim" or "steel rim." Wheel hubs are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode and deform, posing safety hazards. 2. Classification: Wheel hubs can be categorized by material into steel wheel hubs and alloy wheel hubs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of steel wheel hubs is their simple manufacturing process (usually produced by casting, whereas aluminum alloy wheel hubs are typically made using low-pressure casting), relatively low cost, and strong resistance to metal fatigue.
