What Causes BMW 5 Series to Shake When Cold?
1 Answers
BMW 5 Series shaking when cold may be caused by faults in components such as ignition coils, spark plugs, or throttle bodies. Possible issues include carbon buildup on spark plugs, dirt accumulation on the throttle body, or damage to ignition coils. Below is an analysis of potential causes related to car shaking: 1. Excessive Carbon Buildup: Excessive carbon deposits can lead to low fuel pressure, resulting in insufficient fuel supply and power loss. It is recommended to clean the fuel injectors and check fuel pressure. Another possibility is poor ignition causing incomplete combustion and noticeable fuel wastage, which can be resolved by replacing spark plugs. 2. Insufficient Cylinder Pressure: This commonly manifests as cylinder misfire and shaking, accompanied by power loss. Cylinder pressure testing is required. Finally, visually inspect whether the wheel balancing weights are missing or if there is any obvious wheel hub deformation.
