What are the reasons for the sudden loss of power while driving a Tiggo 5?
2 Answers
The reasons for the sudden loss of power while driving a Tiggo 5 are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing can also lead to such faults. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience body shaking, 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 also cause body shaking.
When I was driving the Tiggo 5 and suddenly lost power, it was quite nerve-wracking. While running, the car seemed like it was drunk, losing all momentum. This is mostly due to a problem with the fuel system, such as the fuel pump losing power or the filter getting clogged. Worn-out spark plugs can also make the engine struggle. That time I went to the repair shop, the mechanic said to first safely park the car, then check if any warning lights are on the dashboard. Usually, pay attention to the quality of the fuel you use—avoid low-grade fuel. Change the oil regularly and don’t stretch the maintenance intervals too long to prevent small issues from becoming big troubles. If it happens again, pull over immediately and turn on the hazard lights to avoid secondary accidents. Simple self-checks can save a lot of trouble, but in serious cases, it’s best to seek help from a professional mechanic.
