What is the function of intake system cleaning?
2 Answers
Improve intake performance, restore normal air-fuel ratio, reduce exhaust emissions, and make engine idle more stable. More information about the intake system is as follows: 1. Overview: The engine's intake system is the gateway for air to enter the combustion chamber. Due to the engine's operating environment and impurities in the air being sucked into the intake system to participate in combustion, carbon deposits are the main cause. The formation of carbon deposits in the intake system can cause the following phenomena in the engine: abnormal operation of the combustion chamber wall, intake valves, and fuel injectors. In later stages, the vehicle may also experience unstable idle, shaking, knocking, and reduced engine lifespan. Therefore, cleaning the intake system is particularly important. 2. Others: Clean the intake system every six months or 20,000 kilometers. Regular car maintenance can ensure driving safety, eliminate minor hidden dangers, improve performance, and extend the vehicle's service life.
Cleaning the intake system is actually quite practical. After cleaning my old car, it felt like driving a brand new one. Excessive carbon buildup can clog the intake passages, preventing air from being drawn in and leaving the engine gasping for breath, resulting in sluggish acceleration and increased fuel consumption. Cleaning removes all the oil residues and carbon deposits, allowing air to flow smoothly and fuel to burn more completely. Not only does fuel consumption decrease, but idle speed also becomes much steadier, with significantly less vibration than before. I mostly drive in urban areas with frequent stops at traffic lights, which makes carbon buildup more likely. Cleaning every 20,000 kilometers is enough to maintain good condition. Overall, it can rejuvenate the car's performance, saving both money and hassle, making driving much more enjoyable.
