The first issue is caused by abnormal fuel combustion. You need to clean the throttle body and fuel injectors to resolve it. Take the car to a repair shop to read the data streams of various engine sensors for troubleshooting. The second problem is caused by resonance. In this case, first check if the tire pressure of all four tires is within the normal range, then inspect the chassis for any impact damage or deformation. Also, check if the ball joints and shock absorbers are leaking oil, and if there is excessive play in the wheel bearings or half-shafts!

Does Keeping the Engine Idling for a Long Time Damage the Car?

Keeping the engine idling for a long time can damage the car, with effects including shortening the engine's lifespan; easily burning out the three-way catalytic converter; increasing engine carbon deposits; damaging the vehicle's electronic systems; causing fuel injector failures; and increasing the risk of freeze blockage. Engine idling is an operational condition where the engine runs without load, only overcoming the frictional resistance of internal components, without delivering power externally, maintaining a lower stable operating speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by altering the throttle opening and the idle fuel supply. Adjusting the idle speed must be done under normal conditions, including normal engine temperature, appropriate valve clearance, normal ignition system condition, good sealing of all pipelines, fully open choke valve, and tightly closed throttle. During adjustment, first unscrew the throttle opening adjustment screw to achieve the lowest stable engine speed.
