Frequent braking increases fuel consumption because after braking, the vehicle needs to gradually accelerate from a low-speed state back to normal driving speed. This process requires stepping on the accelerator, and the fuel consumption during this period is very high. Below is relevant information about vehicle braking: Introduction to Braking: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical device that can slow down the vehicle speed. Classification of Braking: Drum brakes, advantages of drum brakes, disadvantages of drum brakes, disc brakes, etc.

What is the role of antioxidants in engine oil?

The role of antioxidants in engine oil is to prevent oxidation and deterioration, thereby extending the service life of the engine oil. Most engine oils contain antioxidants. If the engine oil undergoes oxidation and deterioration, its lubricating performance will decrease, leading to increased engine wear. During normal engine operation, the high temperatures inside the engine can easily trigger certain chemical reactions. Therefore, antioxidants are added to the engine oil to prevent oxidation and deterioration. Even with antioxidants, prolonged use without changing the engine oil can still lead to oxidation and deterioration. Antioxidants can only slow down the oxidation rate of the engine oil but cannot completely prevent it. Therefore, car owners should regularly change the engine oil during routine vehicle use.

Does Continuing to Drive with an Overheated Engine Have Any Impact?

Continuing to drive with an overheated engine has significant consequences, and it is strongly advised not to proceed under such conditions. When the coolant temperature warning light on the vehicle's dashboard illuminates, you should immediately stop driving. If addressed promptly, repairs generally won't cause severe damage to the vehicle. However, persisting to drive could lead to serious issues such as burning out the cylinder head gasket, damaging valves and valve seats, or even causing cracks in the engine block or cylinder head—problems that would require major overhauls to fix. The car engine is the power-generating unit of the vehicle, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental compliance.

What are the reasons for the failure of the Verna camshaft sensor?

Verna camshaft sensor failure is caused by 1. improper sensor installation; 2. aging sensor components or poor-quality sensor parts. The function of the camshaft position sensor is to collect the position signal of the valve camshaft and input it to the ECU, so that the ECU can identify the top dead center of cylinder 1 compression, thereby enabling sequential fuel injection control, ignition timing control, and knock control. The camshaft position sensor is also called the cylinder identification sensor. It can accurately determine the position of each cylinder's piston. The role of the camshaft position sensor is to control the engine's ignition timing and fuel injection timing by collecting the camshaft's angle signal.
