What Are the Reasons for Unstable Idle Speed and Shaking After Starting the Car?
1 Answers
After starting the car, the reasons for unstable idle speed include errors in the engine control logic and faults in the air conditioning control circuit. The details are as follows: Errors in the engine control logic: It fails to receive the signal indicating the air conditioning is turned on. When unable to determine whether the air conditioning is on, the engine control unit (ECU) mistakenly assumes it is a temporary high load and attempts to increase the engine speed to counteract the resistance at idle. When the engine speed decreases, it cannot handle the load from the air conditioning compressor, leading to another increase in speed. This back-and-forth adjustment results in unstable idle speed. Faults in the air conditioning control circuit: It fails to send the signal indicating the air conditioning is turned on. Similar to the first point, because the ECU cannot determine the air conditioning's status, it continuously adjusts the idle speed, resulting in unstable idle speed.
