What Causes the Car to Jerk and Lose Power When Accelerating?
1 Answers
Car jerking and losing power when accelerating can be caused by: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, fuel injectors, or intake manifold; 2. Poor fuel quality leading to incomplete combustion; 3. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, which require timely repair at an auto shop. The functions of the accelerator pedal are: 1. Controlling engine speed by adjusting the pedal's depression; 2. Regulating the carburetor to determine engine output power. The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle or gas pedal, is the control device for engine power. The driver operates the throttle lever in the cockpit, which transmits commands through the control system to the carburetor or fuel regulator on the engine.
