What are the causes of engine vibration in the Zhida X3?

Introduction to the causes of engine vibration in the Zhida X3: Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of car vibration is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. In this situation, the engine will only start easily once the carbon deposits have absorbed enough gasoline to become saturated. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum suction, enriching the air-fuel mixture again. This causes the engine's combustible mixture to fluctuate between lean and rich, leading to idle vibration after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or weak spark plug firing can also lead to such symptoms. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience body vibration at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can both cause body vibration.
I've been driving a Zhida X3, and recently encountered engine shaking issues, which are quite annoying. The most common causes are problems with the ignition system, such as worn-out spark plugs or faulty ignition coils, leading to uneven ignition and engine vibration. Another possibility is poor fuel system performance, like clogged fuel injectors or a dirty fuel filter, causing insufficient fuel supply and incomplete combustion. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body can also affect air intake, or loose engine mounts may lead to unstable support. In my case, it turned out to be bad spark plugs, and replacing them improved the situation. Additionally, faulty sensors like the oxygen sensor can cause the ECU to misjudge the air-fuel mixture ratio, resulting in shaking. I recommend checking the spark plugs and throttle body first. Always use high-quality fuel to minimize carbon buildup, and prioritize driving safety—don't delay addressing the issue for too long.
I commute with the Zhida X3, and the engine shaking makes me nervous. The possible causes could be poor ignition, such as severely worn spark plugs; or fuel delivery issues, like clogged fuel injection systems starving the engine of fuel; dirty intake components, such as a dusty air filter; and broken engine mounts causing excessive shaking during acceleration. I once fixed it myself by replacing the air filter, and the problem improved. Sensor failures, like a faulty crankshaft position sensor, can also cause shaking. Start by checking these areas, and if the issue persists, visit a professional shop to inspect the electrical system to avoid compromising driving safety.
