System too rich at idle - Bank 1 indicates that the vehicle's air-fuel mixture is too rich. The inspection items include: 1. Actual working values of the oxygen sensor; 2. Check for any air leaks in the engine intake system; 3. Inspect oxygen sensor wiring for poor connections that may cause signal deviations during operation; 4. Check for excessive engine carbon deposits, cleaning if necessary. Vehicle idle refers to an operating condition where the engine runs without load, only overcoming internal mechanical friction without delivering power output. It represents the minimum stable operating speed, which can be adjusted by modifying throttle opening and idle fuel supply.

Will Timing Chain Skipping Teeth Definitely Cause Valve Interference?

Timing chain skipping teeth does not necessarily cause valve interference. The methods to determine whether valve interference occurs due to timing chain skipping are: 1. A slight noise is heard when the car is idling; 2. The noise becomes obvious at medium speed; 3. The noise becomes chaotic or disappears at high speed; 4. The noise reappears during sudden acceleration, and in severe cases, the timing gear cover vibrates. Symptoms of timing chain failure include: 1. Abnormal engine noise; 2. Increased fuel consumption; 3. Increased oil consumption; 4. Car fails to start; 5. Insufficient power; 6. Severe exhaust emissions. Timing chain replacement is required under the following circumstances: 1. When it exceeds the recommended service length; 2. When inspection reveals elongation, wear, or breakage of the timing chain; 3. When measurements with a vernier caliper show that the thickness of the chain tensioner or chain damper exceeds the service limit.
