Joint-venture models generally have a difference of 1-2 liters between the fuel consumption published by MIIT and the actual average fuel consumption reported by car owners, with some models even achieving a difference of less than 1 liter. However, certain domestic brand models show a gap of more than 2 liters between the MIIT-published fuel consumption and the actual average fuel consumption reported by owners. Below is additional information on vehicle fuel consumption: Reasons for high vehicle fuel consumption: Engine carbon deposits: During long-term operation of a vehicle, the combustion process of gasoline inevitably leads to carbon deposits and sludge. If these deposits and sludge are not cleaned promptly, they can cause an increase in fuel consumption. Another possible cause is faulty spark plugs. The function of spark plugs is to generate a high-voltage electric spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture. If they are damaged, the ignition energy will decrease, leading to uneven combustion of the mixture, which can result in slower acceleration and increased fuel consumption. Solutions for high vehicle fuel consumption: You can clean the engine carbon deposits or replace the spark plugs or clean the carbon deposits from the spark plugs.

How to Determine if a Car Oxygen Sensor is Damaged?

To determine if a car's oxygen sensor is damaged: A faulty oxygen sensor in a car will result in exhaust gases containing a high amount of oxygen after combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders. A high oxygen content indicates a lean mixture, while a low oxygen content indicates a rich mixture. The oxygen sensor is an essential component for the engine to reduce exhaust pollution. Once the air-fuel ratio of the mixture deviates from the theoretical value, the oxygen sensor detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust and controls the fuel injection amount through feedback, thereby maintaining the air-fuel ratio within the normal range. The core component of the oxygen sensor is a porous ZrO2 ceramic tube, where high-concentration oxygen molecules inside the tube can be adsorbed to form electrons, creating a potential difference.

Is it normal for the BYD F3 to idle at 1000 RPM?

This depends on the conditions under which the engine is idling at 1000 RPM. If it's during a cold start, then it's normal. However, if the engine is warm and still idling at this speed, it might be slightly high. Below are possible reasons for high idle speed: 1. Excessive carbon buildup—clean the idle speed control valve and throttle body. 2. Vacuum leaks in the intake system; low fuel pressure leading to poor atomization; ignition system faults; faults in the engine exhaust gas recirculation system; excessive carbon buildup on injectors, intake, or exhaust valves. 3. It could also be caused by an overly rich air-fuel mixture. The reason might be incomplete combustion due to a rich mixture, possibly caused by a dirty throttle body or injectors not sealing properly. Another possibility is a clogged air filter creating excessive vacuum, leading to a fuel-rich condition, faulty spark plugs, or weak ignition in the high-voltage ignition system.
