The reason why the throttle does not respond when the engine is warm but works when cold is due to a malfunction in the car's electronic throttle system. Below is an introduction to the related content: 1. Solution: If the car's electronic throttle is malfunctioning, it is necessary to promptly visit the car's 4S store or a repair shop to inspect and repair the electronic throttle, which can resolve the issue of the throttle not responding when the engine is warm. 2. Sensor reason: If the throttle position sensor is too dirty or the voltage is unbalanced, it can lead to electronic throttle failure, resulting in the situation where the throttle is pressed to the floor but the speed does not increase. If the fault is not related to the electronic throttle, then the issue may lie in the engine's intake, fuel system, or ignition system. Any component failure or abnormality in one of these three systems could cause the situation where the car's throttle is pressed to the floor but the RPM does not increase.

What is the maximum lifespan of Michelin tires in years?

Michelin tires have a lifespan of two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Even if the car is not driven frequently, the tires can degrade, harden, and develop cracks, posing safety hazards while driving. Therefore, it is essential to replace them once the specified time or mileage is reached. Here is some additional information: 1. Michelin Tires: Michelin is a premium tire brand with mature technology that enhances the balance between driving safety, comfort, and handling, significantly improving tire performance, saving fuel, and providing comprehensive protection for drivers and passengers. 2. Michelin Winter Tires: Specifically designed for harsh winter conditions, such as snow, ice, and wet roads, their advanced technology greatly enhances stability and controllability on complex winter road surfaces, improving overall safety and allowing drivers to experience secure driving on snowy and icy roads. Key advantages include: long wear life, low puncture rate, fuel efficiency, larger contact area, excellent handling, lower operating temperatures, and enhanced safety, comfort, and machine protection.

Can speeding with a temporary license plate be captured? Will points be deducted?

Speeding with a temporary license plate can be captured, and points will be deducted. Below are specific details about temporary license plates: Regulations: Speeding violations with a temporary license plate will result in point deductions, but not necessarily fines. If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, a warning will be issued without a fine; exceeding the limit by 10% or more will incur a fine. Temporary license plates are issued by the vehicle management office in accordance with regulations and have the same effect as formal license plates before obtaining them. Therefore, traffic laws must still be followed when using temporary license plates. Validity period: Temporary license plates are valid for no more than 30 days, and for new cars, no more than 15 days. Therefore, it is necessary to apply for formal license plates from the vehicle management authority within the validity period. Driving with an expired temporary license plate will result in penalties such as vehicle impoundment, fines, and point deductions.

How to Fix the Automatic Pop-up of the Tiguan Front Hood?

The automatic pop-up of the Tiguan front hood is caused by engine overheating. The solutions are as follows: 1. Add coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine cooling system, leading to insufficient water in the radiator. If not checked and refilled in time, this can easily cause engine overheating, resulting in the hood automatically popping open. 2. Check if the cooling fan is faulty: Damage to the cooling fan or a short circuit in the wiring can cause the fan to malfunction or operate at a slow speed, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating. This will naturally raise the engine temperature, causing the hood to pop open automatically. 3. Check if the thermostat is faulty: The thermostat controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation will inevitably be affected, preventing the engine's heat from being effectively dissipated.

What is the maintenance interval for the Genesis G80?

The first maintenance for the Genesis G80 is generally at 6,000 kilometers or 3 months. Subsequent maintenance is required every 1,000 kilometers. Concept of car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The car maintenance process involves using production tools to service the car according to specific technical requirements. Depending on the characteristics of the tasks and the execution conditions, car maintenance includes various methods such as cleaning, inspection, supply, lubrication, fastening, adjustment, and replacement. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the usage cycle. Daily car maintenance is very important. Neglecting routine maintenance can not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle but also endanger driving safety.

Will Drilling a Hole in the Exhaust Pipe Produce Sound?

Drilling a hole in the exhaust pipe will produce sound. The maintenance methods for the exhaust pipe include: 1. Avoid driving at high speeds for extended periods with the choke closed; 2. Avoid installing windshields or decorative items in front of the engine and muffler; 3. Minimize prolonged high-revving of the engine while stationary. The functions of the exhaust pipe are: 1. Reducing environmental pollution: The exhaust pipe contains purification devices that effectively filter harmful gases from the exhaust; 2. Ventilation and exhaust: The car exhaust pipe operates in a cycle of intake, compression, power, and exhaust—without the exhaust pipe, the car cannot function; 3. Noise reduction: The exhaust pipe is equipped with a muffler to reduce car noise. The principle involves using multiple channels to divert airflow, causing friction and collisions between the diverted flows, gradually reducing airflow speed and repeatedly cycling to lower noise.

What are the causes of excessive oil temperature in hydraulic systems?

Hydraulic system oil temperature can become excessively high due to the following reasons: 1. Poor heat dissipation: The oil tank may be designed too small during the design phase, causing the oil to circulate too quickly, or the cooler may be ineffective in high ambient temperatures, both leading to poor heat dissipation. 2. Malfunctioning system unloading circuit: Typically, an unloading valve is installed at the pump outlet of the system. When the system is not under load and does not require pressurized oil, the system unloads to reduce energy loss. If the unloading valve malfunctions, oil may still return to the tank through the relief valve when pressurized oil is not needed, causing the oil temperature to rise. 3. Air or moisture entering the oil: When the hydraulic pump converts oil into pressurized oil, the presence of air or moisture can increase heat generation, leading to overheating. 4. Incorrect use of excessively viscous hydraulic oil: Oxidation of hydraulic oil or low ambient temperatures can increase viscosity. Hydraulic oil that is too viscous will increase friction, thereby generating heat.
