Its main functions are: to guide the gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, and to allow a small amount of air to enter the intake manifold directly from the air filter via the PCV valve. This helps avoid issues such as icing at the throttle, incomplete combustion, and worsening emissions, while preventing blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and preventing engine oil deterioration. Below is a related introduction: Definition: The PVC valve in a car is a component of the engine's crankcase forced ventilation system, consisting of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring. Effects of a faulty car PVC valve on the vehicle: The engine may experience shaking during operation, unstable idle speed, and large amounts of white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Since it is located inside the crankcase, a faulty PVC valve may lead to internal corrosion, accelerated wear, and further shortening of the engine's lifespan.

What are the reasons for the Honda Odyssey not moving when accelerating?

Below are the reasons why the Odyssey may not move when the accelerator is pressed: 1. Fuel system issues: After prolonged use, carbon deposits may form on the fuel injectors, leading to clogging. This could result in fuel line leaks, clogged fuel filters, and other fuel system problems. 2. Air intake system problems: The air filter among the three filters requires frequent cleaning or replacement. If the air filter becomes clogged or the throttle system is blocked, the air intake volume decreases, causing incomplete combustion and reduced power. 3. Engine misfire: Power issues are closely related to the engine. If the car shakes at idle or experiences insufficient power, it might be due to an engine misfire. In such cases, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection at a professional repair shop.

What is the general thickness of an oil film?

Lubricating oil film thickness is actually difficult to estimate. Generally, the oil film of high-speed machinery is slightly thicker, while that of low-speed machinery is thinner. The thickness of the oil film is generally in the micrometer to sub-micrometer range. For some precision machinery, the thickness may be even thinner, approximately a few layers of oil molecules, which is at the nanometer level. The following is relevant information: 1. Lubricating oil: Lubricating oil is a liquid or semi-solid lubricant used in various types of automobiles and mechanical equipment to reduce friction, protect machinery and processed parts. It mainly functions to lubricate, assist in cooling, prevent rust, clean, seal, and cushion. 2. Composition: Lubricating oil generally consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

What Causes Engine Bearing Noise?

Engine bearing noise is caused by: 1. Excessive clearance between piston and cylinder wall; 2. Over-tight assembly of piston pin or connecting rod bearing; 3. Excessive clearance between tappet and its guide hole; 4. Wear of camshaft profile; 5. Loose starter claw causing pulley noise; 6. Severely loose connecting rod bearing cap bolts or complete melting/detachment of connecting rod bearing alloy. The function of an engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by pushing the piston through the expansion of gas after combustion in a sealed cylinder. Engine maintenance methods include: 1. Regular oil and filter replacement; 2. Using lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade; 3. Regular radiator cleaning; 4. Periodic cleaning of air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter; 5. Maintaining good crankcase ventilation with regular cleaning; 6. Regular fuel system cleaning.
