When the throttle light comes on, it indicates a fault in the engine management system or electronic control. Here is an introduction to the throttle: 1. Introduction: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. 2. Maintenance Methods: (1) Release Gas: Engine oil tends to volatilize under heat during use. The longer the usage time and the higher the temperature, the stronger the volatilization. Additionally, some compressed gas from the cylinder will inevitably squeeze into the crankcase through the gaps in the piston rings. Therefore, there must be a channel to release the gas; otherwise, the oil pan will develop positive pressure. (2) Negative Pressure Extraction: One reason the crankcase ventilation tube is connected to the throttle is to meet environmental requirements, and another is to use the intake's negative pressure to extract gas from the crankcase. (3) Cleaning Frequency: How quickly the throttle gets dirty depends on factors such as engine operating temperature and driving habits.

Can a car with modified body kit be transferred?

Modified body kit cannot be transferred. Normally, if the modification is not approved by the traffic management department in advance, the car with added body kit will not pass the annual inspection. It is best to go to the vehicle management office to pay for and get an application form before modification, and then take new photos and get a new driving license after modification. Car modification: Car modification (Car-modification) refers to the modification of the external appearance, internal appearance and mechanical performance of the original car produced by the car manufacturer according to the needs of the car owner, mainly including body modification and power modification. Car modification originated in Japan in the late 1990s when the restrictions on car modification were relaxed. Classification of modified cars: According to the current law, modified cars are divided into the following four categories: car decoration is to add some accessories to improve the beauty of the car surface, this behavior is called car decoration, and the added accessories are called decorations or decorative parts.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from the Sunroof Seal?

The squeaking noise from the sunroof seal may be caused by aging of the seal, which requires timely replacement. Definition of a Car Sunroof: A car sunroof is installed on the roof of the vehicle and effectively promotes air circulation inside the car, allowing fresh air to enter. Additionally, a sunroof can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Benefits of a Car Sunroof: While opening the side windows can also facilitate air exchange, a sunroof changes the traditional method of ventilation. When the sunroof is opened, wind creates a flow of air that draws out stale air from the cabin. During high-speed driving, air flows rapidly around the car. When the sunroof is opened, an area of low pressure forms outside the vehicle. Due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the car, the stale air inside is drawn out, achieving the purpose of ventilation and ensuring the cabin remains filled with fresh air.

Can vehicle inspections be done in Handan on Saturdays and Sundays?

Vehicle inspections cannot be done in Handan on Saturdays and Sundays.

During the inspection, the vehicle must be driven onto the inspection line, where professional staff will conduct the necessary checks. Documents required for vehicle inspection: Essential documents: Original and copy of the vehicle license, road and bridge fee IC card, proof of road maintenance fee payment, vehicle and vessel tax certificate, original insurance card, and original ID card. Inspection time requirements: Vehicles that are 6 years old can apply for annual inspection within 3 months before the expiration date. Inspections can only be done in advance, not postponed. Preparation before inspection: First, check if the vehicle has any traffic violations, as vehicles with outstanding violations will not be accepted by the vehicle management office. You can directly inquire about any violations at the traffic police station.

What does EDC mean in a car?

EDC in a car refers to the high-pressure electronic injection and electronic control system. When the EDC warning light is on, it indicates an engine malfunction, alerting the owner to promptly visit a repair shop for inspection and maintenance. The function of EDC is to electronically control the fuel injection system, enabling real-time control of fuel injection quantity and timing based on operating conditions. The car engine is the power-generating device of a vehicle, serving as its heart, and determines the vehicle's power performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, among others.

What Causes Difficulty Starting After Replacing Spark Plugs?

Reasons for difficulty starting after replacing spark plugs: 1. Improper spark plug selection. If a cold-type spark plug is chosen for an engine with low heat value, it will inevitably cause the spark plug to operate at too low a temperature, preventing self-cleaning. 2. Incorrect spark plug installation. During replacement, adding extra sealing washers to the spark plug can result in the spark plug operating at too low a temperature. 3. Influence of ambient temperature. Ambient temperature affects the engine's operating temperature. In winter, a slightly hotter-type spark plug should be selected. Effects of a faulty spark plug: If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most importantly, difficulty starting, affecting the vehicle's normal operation. Severe spark plug erosion—such as scarring at the top, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes—indicates that the spark plug is ruined and should be replaced. How to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance. The condition of the spark plug can be judged based on the following color observations. A normal spark plug has an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn.

Is There a Safety Hazard When the Steering Wheel Has Play and Wobbles Left and Right?

Of course, there will be safety hazards. Inaccurate steering and wheel return can easily lead to accidents. There is an adjustment switch under the steering wheel. If manual adjustment is still ineffective, please go to a professional repair shop or 4S store for repair. Basic Concept of the Steering Wheel: The wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. However, the original designer of the steering wheel could not foresee that in today's era of increasingly faster car speeds, once an accident occurs, the steering wheel becomes the main culprit causing the driver's death. Origin of the Steering Wheel: The steering wheel initially installed on steam cars by the inventor of the automobile was mounted on a vertical steering column, which had the disadvantage of being inconvenient for the driver's operation and obstructing the view.
