The reasons for a car shaking at idle and then stalling: 1. Excessive carbon deposits causing pre-ignition and knocking, shortening the engine's lifespan and significantly reducing its power and fuel efficiency; 2. Carbon deposits on the valve and its seat surface, leading to incomplete valve closure and air leakage, resulting in difficulties starting the engine, lack of power, and valve erosion; 3. Carbon deposits and gumming on the valve guide and valve stem, accelerating wear between the valve stem and guide, and even causing the valve stem to stick or seize in the guide, leading to valve sticking faults; 4. Excessive carbon deposits on the spark plugs, causing spark plug leakage, failure to operate, and engine shaking.

How to Maintain a BMW 5 Series?

Correct installation of the air filter can reduce wear on components such as cylinders, pistons, and piston rings. Proper installation of the oil filter prevents impurities from mixing into the engine oil during the operation of the internal combustion engine, avoiding wear on moving parts and clogging of oil passages. Replace when necessary, and clean the fuel injectors without disassembly. Check if the idle valve is excessively dirty and clean it if necessary.
