There are 6 main causes of car idle shaking: 1. Intake system failure: Excessive carbon buildup in throttle body/intake manifold, clogged air filter element, intake pipe/EGR valve leakage, or faulty intake pressure sensor. 2. Fuel system failure: Fuel supply pressure issues or injector malfunction. 3. Ignition system failure: Spark plug misfiring/weak spark energy, faulty ignition module/coil, or sensor/ignition circuit problems. 4. Electronic control system failure: Damaged internal circuits or poor contacts. 5. Mechanical structure failure: Piston ring damage/loss of elasticity, carbon deposits in ring grooves/cylinders, bent connecting rod, or incorrect timing belt installation. 6. Other causes: Increased engine load from AC/automatic transmission, clogged catalytic converter, or imbalance in rotating components like crankshaft/flywheel.

Although the structural components of EPS vary among different vehicles, they are generally similar. Relevant introductions about automotive power steering pumps are as follows: 1. Classification: Automotive power steering pumps are mainly divided into steering power pumps and brake power pumps. 2. Steering power pump: As the power source for vehicle steering, it is the "heart" of the steering system. The brake power pump is a larger diameter vacuum chamber with a diaphragm (or piston) in the middle equipped with a push rod, dividing the chamber into two parts. One part is connected to the atmosphere, and the other part is connected to the engine intake pipe through a pipeline.
