"Under normal circumstances, car engine vibration should be very smooth and regular. If you can clearly feel that the engine vibration has increased recently, then a fault inspection is required. When the motor vehicle is idling, if the vehicle's accelerator pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel, or gear lever shows vibration, it can be determined as abnormal engine vibration. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the engine has a misfire or incomplete combustion and carry out repairs. If the car engine vibrates more severely than usual while driving, and sometimes there is even a problem with starting the engine, it may be due to a dirty throttle, excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injector or intake tract. In cold conditions, carbon deposits can absorb some fuel, and if the fuel does not completely enter the cylinder for combustion, it can cause unstable idling and difficulty starting."

What happens when an oxygen sensor fails?

When an oxygen sensor fails, the following symptoms may occur: the vehicle's engine malfunction indicator light turns on, unstable idling, insufficient engine power, sluggish acceleration, and black smoke from the exhaust. The causes of oxygen sensor failure include: 1. Ceramic element of the oxygen sensor cracking; 2. Heater resistance wire burning out; 3. Internal wiring of the oxygen sensor breaking or disconnecting; 4. Engine control unit malfunction. The oxygen sensor uses a ceramic sensing element to measure the oxygen potential in the vehicle's exhaust pipe, calculates the corresponding oxygen concentration based on chemical equilibrium principles, and achieves the purpose of monitoring and controlling the combustion air-fuel ratio to ensure product quality and compliance with exhaust emission standards. It is a critical measurement component.

What does x1000rpm mean?

x1000rpm refers to the tachometer of a car, indicating that the engine speed is 1000 revolutions per minute. When driving, if the needle on the tachometer points to 1, it means the engine speed is 1000 rpm; if it points to 2, it means 2000 rpm. In fact, the engine speed is the same, but the display on the tachometer varies. Nowadays, the combination of tachometers in cars is very diverse. Initially, there were only mechanical instrument panels, but now car instrument panels are divided into mechanical and LCD types, with a wide range of information displayed on them.

How to Solve Windshield Fogging?

Methods to solve windshield fogging include: 1. When the fog is light, open the car windows—when the inside and outside temperatures are similar, the fog will dissipate; 2. Turn on the car's air conditioning in cooling mode; 3. Activate the heating system before driving; 4. Use the car's defogging function; 5. Apply a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water or soapy water to the windows; 6. Place dehumidifying boxes used in wardrobes. The reason for windshield fogging is the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, where the cabin temperature is higher than the outside, causing moisture inside the cabin to condense on the inner windshield and form fog. Methods to maintain the windshield include: 1. Use specialized or suitable wiper blades and replace them promptly to avoid scratching the windshield; 2. Remove debris from the windshield; 3. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner.

Does a CVT Transmission Have Jerking Sensation?

CVT transmission experiencing jerking sensation is an abnormal phenomenon. The jerking sensation in the transmission is caused by the inertia of moving parts inside the engine, which creates an impact feeling during the process where the engine speed is either increased or decreased. If not handled properly, sudden changes in engine speed during gear shifting can cause the inertia of the engine's moving parts to react against the vehicle body. The function of the transmission is to change the gear ratio, expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions. The transmission consists of a gear shifting mechanism and a control mechanism, and a power output device can be added when necessary. In terms of classification, transmissions can be divided into two types based on the method of gear ratio change and the method of control.
