Car throttle unstable solution is: adjust the action of stepping on the throttle pedal, when stepping on the throttle pedal, let the heel of the right foot rest on the floor of the cab as a support point, place the sole on the throttle pedal, and use the flexion and extension of the ankle joint to press down and lift the throttle pedal. The throttle, also known as the air valve and throttle valve, is a control device that regulates the engine's power thrust. It controls the opening of the carburetor's throttle valve to regulate the cylinder's filling amount, determining the engine's output power. Precautions for stepping on the throttle are: 1. Be gentle when pressing and releasing the throttle pedal, achieving a light press and slow lift; 2. The release of the clutch should be closely coordinated with stepping on the throttle, with agile movements; 3. Choose the appropriate gear to keep the engine running at medium speed and larger throttle opening most of the time to save fuel; 4. Before the car moves or stalls, first release the throttle pedal and avoid suddenly revving the engine in neutral.

I recently encountered an issue with unstable throttle response. While driving, I kept feeling that the car's acceleration was inconsistent when pressing the pedal - either too jerky or too weak. After inspecting the throttle body, I found severe carbon buildup, likely caused by long-term low-speed city driving. I proceeded to clean the throttle body myself - just spraying it with specialized cleaner did the trick, quite simple really. If the problem persists, I'll need to check whether the mass airflow sensor or idle control valve is malfunctioning. This condition not only increases fuel consumption but also makes driving stressful, especially dangerous on highways. I recommend getting it fixed at a reliable repair shop immediately, as prolonged neglect can damage engine components. For safety, pull over immediately when such issues occur to avoid losing control and causing accidents. Regular maintenance with special attention to throttle body cleaning can prevent such troubles while saving fuel and money.

How to Determine if Spark Plugs are Damaged?

If the spark plugs exhibit the following symptoms, it may indicate a malfunction: Difficulty in starting the car, whether cold or hot, often requiring multiple attempts. Engine shaking, noticeable while driving. Reduced power, feeling significantly weaker than usual. Increased fuel consumption. Stalling. Failed exhaust emissions. Common causes and diagnosis of spark plug failures: Common issues that prevent spark plugs from working include: Incorrect spark plug gap adjustment. A gap too small limits the contact area between the spark and the air-fuel mixture and suppresses flame kernel growth due to the electrode's quenching effect, resulting in weak sparks and ignition difficulties. A gap too large may exceed the ignition system's voltage capacity, preventing sparking. Cracked spark plug skirt. High-voltage current leaks through the crack, preventing sparking at the electrodes. Electrode carbon buildup, causing the central electrode to leak current instead of sparking to the side electrode. Excessive carbon buildup can short-circuit the spark plug, damaging the insulator and rendering it faulty. Damaged electrodes. Prolonged electrical erosion or chemical corrosion from combustion gases can break or detach the electrodes, preventing sparking. Low insulation resistance. This reduces the ignition voltage across the spark gap, weakening or completely disabling the spark. Short-circuited high-voltage wires. Leakage in the wire from the ignition coil to the distributor prevents the entire engine from starting, while leakage in the wire from the distributor to a spark plug prevents that cylinder's spark plug from firing. Burnt contact points. This causes all spark plugs to fail, preventing engine startup and operation. Faulty spark plugs should be replaced promptly. Replacement steps: Open the hood, remove the engine's plastic cover, and disconnect the high-voltage wires, marking each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove each spark plug, ensuring the surrounding area is free of debris like leaves or dust. Insert the new spark plug into the hole, hand-tighten it first, then use the socket to secure it. Reattach the high-voltage wires in the correct firing order and replace the cover. Replacement interval: Typically every 40,000-60,000 km under normal maintenance, but this varies by brand and engine. Refer to the owner's manual for specifics.
