The reasons for fluctuating idle speed are as follows: 1. Dirt from the air and sludge from gasoline can easily cause the throttle to become dirty and the idle air control valve to malfunction. 2. Excessive carbon buildup can lead to valves not sealing properly, poor fuel injector atomization, and insufficient combustion. 3. A clogged exhaust pipe can result in poor exhaust flow. 4. Air leaks can cause insufficient vacuum. 5. Aging wiring or issues with the ECU (this phenomenon is unlikely to occur in the short term). It is recommended that owners avoid installing additional devices on the vehicle. 6. Insufficient cylinder compression due to natural wear (this phenomenon is unlikely to occur in the short term).

How to Deal with Water Intrusion in the Driver's Seat?

Do not start the car after it has been submerged in water. Take photos of the scene and the license plate number, which can serve as evidence for insurance claims. Call the insurance company's claim hotline, which must be done within 24 hours, and also call for a rescue tow truck. Inform the insurance company about the repair shop where the car will be placed. While waiting for rescue, you can disconnect the vehicle's power, shift into neutral, and push the car to a safe area. Before repairs, report to the insurance company to assess the damage as required. Avoid driving through unfamiliar waterlogged roads. If you must drive through water, shift to a low gear and proceed slowly.

What to Do When the Left Turn Signal Doesn't Work but the Right One Does?

Check if the turn signal fuse is blown. Observe whether road conditions allow for overtaking. If overtaking is possible, first turn on the left turn signal and wait until after overtaking. If you short-circuit the two terminals of the flasher and the turn signals do not light up when the turn signal switch is turned on, observe whether road conditions allow for overtaking. If the turn signals all light up when the hazard warning light switch is turned on, it indicates a fault in the turn signal switch or the wiring from the turn signal switch to the flasher. If the turn signals still do not light up when the hazard warning switch is turned on, focus on checking for wiring faults according to the circuit diagram. Domestic regulations require overtaking on the left side of the vehicle in front.
