Car feeling sluggish in acceleration and the throttle becoming heavy is mainly caused by excessive carbon deposits in the engine. It is necessary to clean the throttle, check for carbon deposits in the fuel injectors, and inspect whether the spark plugs are functioning normally. If the spark plugs are aged, they need to be replaced. For both automatic and manual transmission cars, it is recommended to maintain a steady speed under the same road conditions, as this helps in saving fuel. During car maintenance, attention should be paid to details, such as timely cleaning of carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. The engine, throttle, and combustion chamber are all prone to carbon deposits, which requires the owner to perform timely vehicle maintenance and regular cleaning to extend the engine's lifespan.

What are the common interior decorations in a car?

Common interior decorations in a car include floor mats, headrests, seat covers, etc. Some car owners like to place model dolls inside the car, but it is recommended not to place anything on the dashboard of the front passenger seat, including dashboard sunshade pads, tissue boxes, small figurines, etc. A dashboard sunshade pad can obstruct the deployment of the front passenger airbag in the event of an accident, while tissue boxes and small figurines with edges or hard surfaces can carry significant energy when the airbag deploys, enough to shatter the windshield. It is important to check if the vehicle's seats have airbag markings. If they do, choose seat covers that do not obstruct the airbag deployment. Additionally, some higher-end models may have seats with ventilation functions. Choosing inappropriate seat covers could render the ventilation feature ineffective.
