What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Turn On and Then Off?
1 Answers
The engine warning light turns on and then off due to excessive carbon buildup inside the throttle body. The responsiveness of the vehicle's acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle body. Cleaning the throttle body can reduce fuel consumption and make the engine more agile and powerful. However, if there is excessive carbon buildup or excessive dirt and sludge in the throttle body, it can lead to poor engine acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and trigger the engine warning light. Relevant information about the throttle body is as follows: 1. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. There are two types: traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle bodies. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. 2. Throttle bodies come in two types: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, connecting one end to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttle bodies primarily use a throttle position sensor to control the throttle opening angle based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.
