What Causes Car Body Shaking During Idling?
2 Answers
Car body shaking during idling is mainly caused by severe engine carbon deposits, ignition system issues, unstable oil pressure, aging engine components, etc. Below is a detailed introduction to car shaking during idling: 1. Ignition System Failure: Every time the ignition system is used, the spark plugs will wear out. Long-term use will lead to severe motor wear, causing the spark plug gap to increase, making it difficult to generate an arc, which increases the misfire rate. Inconsistent power output will cause the car to shake during idling. 2. Unstable Oil Pressure: The most common issue in the fuel supply system usually occurs with the fuel injectors. Excessive carbon deposits on the fuel injectors affect the fuel injection volume. When the fuel injection volume is too high or too low, it can easily cause the oil pressure to be too high or too low, leading to shaking during idling.
Actually, body vibration at idle is quite common in vehicle usage, and I've encountered many similar issues. It's mainly caused by unstable engine operation. For example, a dirty throttle body leading to poor air intake, aging spark plugs affecting ignition efficiency, or clogged fuel injectors causing uneven fuel supply - these can all disrupt the engine's working rhythm. Also pay attention to the engine mounts, which are responsible for buffering engine vibrations; once they age and crack, vibrations get transmitted directly to the body. Another issue is carbon buildup, especially excessive carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and behind the valves - just like a person having difficulty breathing, this affects engine performance. If you notice vibration, I recommend first checking these four key points, especially for vehicles with over 100,000 kilometers on the odometer.
