Valve spring is a small tool that ensures the timely seating and tight fit of the valve, preventing the valve from bouncing during engine vibration, which could compromise its sealing performance. The valve spring is located between the cylinder head and the spring seat at the end of the valve stem. It is usually made of high-quality alloy steel wire and undergoes heat treatment to enhance its fatigue strength. To prevent corrosion, the spring surface should be galvanized or phosphated. Both ends of the spring must be ground flat and perpendicular to the spring axis to prevent tilting during operation. The function of the valve spring is to overcome the inertial force of the valve and its transmission components during the valve closing process, preventing gaps between the transmission components due to inertial forces. It ensures the timely seating and tight fit of the valve, preventing bouncing during engine vibration, which could damage its sealing performance.

Is it normal for the idle speed to drop from 800 to 600 rpm?

If the car's idle speed was previously 800 rpm and has now dropped to 600 rpm, this situation is abnormal. Common causes for this phenomenon include dirty or clogged intake systems, engine misfiring or poor working conditions, and clogged three-way catalytic converters in the exhaust system. Dirty or clogged intake system: During vehicle use, components such as the throttle body, air filter, and idle control valve can easily accumulate dirt and become clogged. Once clogging occurs, the engine's idle speed will become lower and unstable, making it difficult to start and prone to stalling. The solution is to inspect the intake system for dirt or clogging every year and a half or two years, and clean it promptly if necessary. Engine misfiring or poor working conditions: Check the aging level of ignition coils and spark plugs, inspect whether the fuel injectors are clogged or damaged, and check for any damage to the control unit wiring. Faults in the ignition system can lead to poor acceleration and engine shaking at idle. The solution is to inspect and repair the ignition system, replacing components as needed. Clogged three-way catalytic converter: When the engine operates under poor conditions for extended periods, it can cause the three-way catalytic converter to become clogged. Symptoms include low idle speed and a muffled engine sound. The solution is to replace the three-way catalytic converter or clean it.

Why Are There No Black Minivans?

The reasons why there are no black minivans on the market are as follows: 1. Cost reasons: Minivans are often positioned as lower-end MPVs, and due to their positioning, costs need to be minimized as much as possible. Offering more paint colors would inadvertently increase costs. 2. Market reasons: Black cars absorb heat significantly, requiring higher air conditioning usage in summer. Black cars also show dirt more easily and need frequent cleaning; otherwise, they appear older than other colors. Additionally, black makes cars look smaller, which is not ideal for already compact vehicles, especially minivans with simple lines, resulting in poor visual appeal. These factors contribute to the lack of popularity for black minivans in the market.
