Engine throttle fluctuation can be caused by a clogged air filter; malfunctioning or faulty intake sensor; dirty fuel injectors, etc. Solutions: If the fuel tank negative pressure switch is clogged or the negative pressure suction pipe is leaking, preventing normal fuel flow, it is necessary to unclog the fuel tank negative pressure switch and repair the negative pressure suction pipe. If the carburetor is clogged or there is water at the bottom of the carburetor float chamber, the carburetor should be unclogged and the water at the bottom of the float chamber should be removed. Precautions: Always allow the engine to cool down before washing the vehicle. Suddenly rinsing the engine, exhaust pipe, and other components with cold water can cause damage due to thermal expansion and contraction, which is a well-known principle. This can damage the oil seals in various parts, leading to engine oil leakage—many motorcycle enthusiasts experience minor engine oil leakage for this reason. It can also cause the chrome plating at the connection between the exhaust pipe and the engine to peel off, oxidize, and rust.

Do Cars Have a Warranty Period?

Do Cars Have a Warranty Period? The following are specific details about the car warranty period: Warranty Duration: The car warranty is valid for two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This means there are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit of 2 years, and the other is a mileage limit of 60,000 kilometers. Warranty Coverage: It mainly covers core components of the car, such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and chassis. These parts have a relatively low probability of failure and higher repair costs. Within 5 years, it's rare for a car owner to encounter issues with these core components. For wear-and-tear parts like tires, rims, headlights, and brakes, the dealer typically provides a warranty of only 3 to 6 months or 5,000 kilometers.

What's the reason for a car displaying 'service' and failing to start?

Here are the reasons why a car displays 'service' and fails to start: Anti-theft alarm: This is the vehicle's anti-theft indicator light, meaning the engine has entered an anti-theft state. It should turn off after inserting the key. If it doesn't, it means the key's signal is lost, and you can try another key or re-match it. Expired engine oil: It could be due to poor-quality engine oil or overdue oil maintenance. Press and hold the mileage reset button, insert the key and turn it to the position just before starting, wait for ten seconds, release the button, remove the key, wait a moment, and then start the car normally. If it still doesn't work, you may need to change the engine oil.
