Here are the reasons for car shaking after starting: 1. Low ignition energy. 2. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures. 3. Fuel requires higher ignition energy. 4. After prolonged use of the vehicle, the spark plug ignition gap becomes larger. 5. Severe engine carbon buildup. 6. Poor performance of the ignition system, with unsatisfactory spark plug firing. 7. Unstable oil pressure. Here are the solutions for car shaking after starting: 1. If it's not possible to disassemble the intake tract for cleaning, use a no-disassembly fuel system cleaning device for cleaning, although the effect is not as ideal as disassembly. 2. It is recommended to replace the spark plugs. Depending on the situation, you can clean the spark plugs or adjust the spark plug gap for continued use. If they are not in good condition, replacement is necessary.

I recently experienced severe shaking right after starting my car. After taking it to the repair shop for inspection, I learned it was due to aged engine mounts. The mechanic explained that these rubber components harden and crack over time, losing their damping effect and allowing vibrations to directly transmit into the cabin. Another possible cause could be ignition system issues, such as heavily carbon-fouled spark plugs or faulty ignition coils, resulting in some cylinders misfiring. A dirty throttle body might also be to blame - during my last maintenance, the technician warned that frequent short trips without prolonged driving can cause carbon buildup, blocking air intake and disrupting the air-fuel mixture ratio, leading to shaking. Additionally, a clogged fuel filter could starve the engine of fuel, especially in cars that have used substandard gasoline. In short, don't ignore such vibrations - inspect the engine compartment early and replace worn parts to resolve the issue. Safety always comes first.

What to Do When the Car Makes a Squeaking Noise When the Air Conditioner is Turned On?

Solutions for the squeaking noise when the car's air conditioner is turned on are as follows: 1. Adjust the compressor's position bolt: The air conditioner pulley and belt may slip, producing a sharp friction noise during the process. Check if there is oil on the belt causing the slip, and clean it if necessary. If not, adjust the compressor's position bolt to tighten the belt, increasing friction. 2. Adjust the belt tension: If the noise is due to a loose belt, press the belt to check its tension. If it's too loose, tighten it. If the belt is worn out, replace it. 3. Replace the tensioner pulley: A damaged belt tensioner pulley can also cause noise, so it should be replaced. 4. Clean the blower and ventilation ducts: Foreign objects in the blower or ventilation ducts can also produce noise, so they should be cleaned.

What is the Difference Between an Engine and a Transmission?

Transmissions and engines mainly have the following differences: 1. The transmission changes the gear ratio to expand the torque and speed of the drive wheels. 2. The engine is the power source of a car. Most car engines are thermal power devices, referred to as heat engines. Below are related introductions to transmissions and engines: 1. The transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. 2. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle. It determines the car's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness.

Which gear is M1?

M1 refers to the first gear in manual mode. It is commonly used when going up or down slopes, entering underground parking garages, in heavy traffic, or when following other vehicles. When shifted into M mode, the transmission switches to manual operation, requiring the driver to manually change gears. The gear shift lever will have symbols indicating plus and minus; pushing the lever toward the plus symbol shifts up one gear, while pushing it toward the minus symbol shifts down one gear. Common automatic transmission gear positions include P, N, R, D, L, S, and M, which stand for: P (Park), N (Neutral), R (Reverse), D (Drive), L (Low, also known as Hill Climb), S (Sport, also known as Sport Mode).

How to Spray Windshield Washer Fluid in a Bora Car?

The method to spray windshield washer fluid in a Bora car is to pull the lever on the right side of the steering wheel upwards. It is important to note that in winter, the selection of windshield washer fluid should be based on its antifreeze performance. Choose a fluid with a freezing point at least 10 degrees Celsius below the local temperature to prevent the fluid from freezing and causing issues such as a malfunctioning washer pump. The Bora is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The car's dimensions are 4562 mm in length, 1793 mm in width, and 1468 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614 mm.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the New BMW 5 Series?

The method to turn off the auto start-stop function in the new BMW 5 Series is to simply press the auto start-stop button. The auto start-stop button is located in front of the gear lever, marked with a circle containing the letter 'A' and the word 'OFF' beside it. Mid-to-high-end models are equipped with both auto start-stop and auto hold functions, eliminating the need to press the brake pedal, thus reducing foot fatigue and improving the vehicle's fuel economy. The new BMW 5 Series is available in two versions: a fuel-powered version and a plug-in hybrid version, and offers two exterior packages: the M Sport package and the Luxury package. The car's dimensions are 4998mm in length, 1901mm in width, and 1559mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3070mm.

What is the National III Emission Standard?

The National III emission standard mainly refers to: HC emission value below 0.2g/km, CO emission value below 2.3g/km, NOx emission value below 0.15g/km, with no PM requirement. The National III standard is China's third-stage vehicle emission standard. The National III emission standard is equivalent to the European III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is equivalent to Euro III levels. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system. The On-Board Diagnostics system features an increased number of detection points and detection systems, with oxygen sensors installed at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter. It ensures compliance by fully monitoring vehicle emissions in real-time, thereby better guaranteeing the enforcement of the Euro III emission standard. When vehicle emissions fail to meet the Euro III standard due to factors like fuel quality, the implementation of the National III standard will increase the cost per vehicle. To stably meet the National III vehicle emission standard, vehicles must be equipped with technical measures that ensure pollutant emissions comply with the National III standard, along with the use of fuel that meets the Euro III standard. Automobile exhaust is the waste gas produced during vehicle use, containing hundreds of different compounds, including pollutants such as solid suspended particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead, and sulfur oxides. As the environmental harm caused by vehicle emissions becomes increasingly severe, countries and regions around the world have successively established limits on vehicle exhaust emissions, with the European standard set by the EU serving as a reference standard adopted by most countries and regions. China's National 3 and National 4 standards are based on the Euro 3 and Euro 4 vehicle emission standards.
