What to Do When There's Abnormal Noise Upon Releasing the Accelerator?

When abnormal noise occurs upon releasing the accelerator, you should first check whether it is due to a cold start, inappropriate engine oil, or a backfire fault in the engine. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Abnormal noise during cold start: When starting a cold engine, the oil pump cannot immediately establish oil pressure, causing insufficient lubrication of the valves and resulting in abnormal noise. After the car has been parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan. During a cold start, the oil pump cannot immediately establish oil pressure, especially in the upper part of the engine, leading to insufficient lubrication of the valves. The hydraulic lifters and mechanical rocker arms fail to operate properly, causing abnormal noise. Solution: Reduce the number of times the car is turned off. 2. Abnormal noise caused by inappropriate engine oil: If the engine oil viscosity is too high, it may not provide sufficient lubrication, leading to abnormal noise. Solution: Replace with the required gasoline.

I've encountered a similar issue before - hearing a 'clicking' sound when releasing the accelerator, which was quite annoying. It might be a minor problem with the exhaust system, such as loose exhaust pipe connections or aged rubber mounts. You could try checking and tightening the chassis screws with a wrench yourself. Alternatively, if it's a metallic scraping sound, it could indicate issues with the driveshaft or universal joint, which shouldn't be ignored as prolonged neglect might lead to more serious failures. Safety first - I recommend driving directly to a professional repair shop for a comprehensive inspection. Technicians can use diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the cause. Regular vehicle maintenance during normal driving can help prevent such abnormal noises from occurring.

I've been driving for over a decade, and this kind of abnormal noise is quite common. It's mostly caused by exhaust pipe leaks or issues with turbo components making noise. You can try lightly pressing the accelerator after parking to locate the source of the sound. It could also be due to loose brake pads or cooling fans. Address it early to avoid breaking down on the road. Just take it to the repair shop and let the mechanics check it with professional tools. Don't push it too hard to prevent engine damage and ensure driving safety.

Be careful with this issue. When I encountered it, it was due to worn suspension bushings causing noise when releasing the throttle. Check the wheels and chassis connections for looseness yourself; tightening them might help. Alternatively, a loose engine belt can also cause this, and adjusting it should solve the problem. But don't attempt random repairs. If necessary, seek professional diagnosis and handling to prevent accidents.

During routine vehicle maintenance, I've noticed that abnormal noises when releasing the throttle may stem from lack of lubrication or part aging, such as chains or bearings needing lubrication. Regular oil changes can extend service life, and developing a monthly inspection habit helps prevent issues early, saving both money and hassle. If the noise is loud, visit a repair shop for comprehensive diagnostics to ensure driving safety.

What to Do When Lug Nuts Won't Come Off?

You can pour a lubricating solvent like diesel fuel onto the lug nuts. Appropriately using your foot strength can increase the tightness of the nut, but avoid kicking blindly as it may directly damage the nut or bolt. Use tools like a hammer to strike the back of the tire wrench, making the lug nut and tool fit tighter, thereby helping to remove the lug nut.

What should I do if I drove a distance without fully releasing the handbrake?

This can significantly impact the handbrake, causing it to become increasingly loose. For vehicles with alarm systems, it's better as there will be a handbrake warning light to indicate that the handbrake needs to be tightened. When driving, make sure to fully release the handbrake all the way down.
