Just like when a person’s nose is clogged, they don’t feel able to breathe smoothly, and the whole person is weak and debilitated. When the engine has too much carbon, it will also appear “slumped”. Many car owners have experienced this experience. After driving their cars for several years, their power performance is getting worse and worse. Too much carbon deposit is one of the important reasons.
When there is too much carbon deposit, we naturally have to send it to a professional repair shop to clean the carbon deposit. So how to judge if your car has too much carbon? After learning these four methods of judgment, I can also know that they are inseparable.
Decline in performance
When the engine’s carbon deposits accumulate too much, the carbon deposits attached to the spark plug will weaken its ignition ability, and the carbon deposits attached to the throttle will also affect the intake air volume, which will cause insufficient intake air volume. Then, after the mixture of fuel and air enters the combustion chamber of the engine, the ignition capacity of the spark plug is insufficient, resulting in insufficient combustion of the fuel. In this way, not only will the power decrease, but carbon deposits will continue to be produced, forming a vicious circle.
Fuel consumption rises
There is a decline in power, and the owner feels that the power is very meaty, so if you want to increase the speed, you will naturally step on the throttle a lot, so the fuel consumption will soar. In the long run, the owner will lament how the car became an “oil tiger”, and the money in his pocket was fed to it.
Cold car start idling instability
If the vehicle idling after the cold start, the engine idling is unstable, and it is accompanied by relatively obvious jitter, then the carbon deposit inside the engine is also more serious, and the exhaust will be more pungent. Although the exhaust is not smelly, it can still be distinguished if it is not pungent.
Look inside the engine
When the vehicle goes out after driving, check whether the oil filler cap is dirty after five minutes. Also check to see if black carbonized powder is present in the engine. If it is found, it means that the carbon deposit of the engine is quite serious, and it is necessary to rush to clean the carbon deposit.
