Automobile intake hose is also called intake pipe, air pipe, air filter hose, rubber pipe, plastic pipe, etc. It is an important part connecting the automobile air filter box and the throttle valve.

The function of the car intake hose is to deliver air to the inside of the car engine, where it is mixed and burned with fuel.

Most of the intake hoses on Japanese and American cars are made of rubber or silicone, while the intake hoses on some other German or Korean cars are made of plastic or metal.

The air intake hose made of ethylene-propylene rubber has the following characteristics: wear resistance, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and good elasticity

 

The working principle of the intake hose. To understand the function and function of the intake hose, we need to understand the working principle of the intake system first.

The air intake system is usually installed behind the grille or engine hood to collect air during the driving of the vehicle. The air intake hose collects the outside air and makes it flow to the air filter.
Filtered by the air filter, dust, stones, pollen and other debris remain in the air filter, and the filtered clean air flows to the inside of the engine.
The intake hose connects the air cleaner to the throttle body. Every time the driver steps on the accelerator pedal, the valve in the throttle body will open, allowing filtered air to flow to the intake manifold.
A network of hoses in the intake manifold, in turn, distributes clean air to each engine cylinder, where it is mixed with fuel for combustion.

 

If your intake hose is broken, leaked, blocked, cracked, damaged, etc., the common signs that will occur are as follows:

The (check Engine light) engine failure light on your dial will light up, indicating that the engine is now malfunctioning and needs to be checked and repaired
It is difficult for your car to obtain a suitable air combustion ratio, which indirectly affects engine power, emission efficiency, etc., and fuel consumption begins to increase
There is also some unburned fuel, which usually causes the vehicle to backfire and leads to an overall lack of power.
The car will experience engine stalling, poor acceleration, etc. When you step on the accelerator to accelerate, the engine will also be idling violently.
Due to the rupture of the hose, when you accelerate, air will rush in towards the ruptured part of the intake hose and produce noise, which is easy to distinguish. The hiss under the hood.
If the hose is broken and damaged, if the problem is not found in time
When unfiltered air enters the intake system, pollutants and garbage will accumulate in the engine, causing faster wear of parts
Over time. A large amount of residue, debris, stones, etc. in the air enter the engine, which will seriously damage the engine.
