The causes of car engine vibration are: 1. The engine throttle is dirty or the fuel injector has excessive carbon deposits. During cold starts, the gasoline sprayed by the injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture and difficulty starting; 2. Poor performance of the ignition system, including spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils; 3. Abnormal fuel supply pressure, incorrect intake pressure values, and malfunctioning sensors. Solutions for car engine vibration: 1. Clean the fuel system and inspect the idle speed motor to remove carbon deposits; 2. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replace them if necessary; 3. Inspect the fuel pressure and replace faulty components.

As someone who drives frequently, I've found that car engine shaking can have several causes. The most common is an issue with the ignition system, such as old and eroded spark plugs or faulty high-voltage ignition coils, leading to irregular ignition in certain cylinders. Another possibility is insufficient fuel system performance, like clogged fuel injectors or a dirty fuel filter, affecting the air-fuel mixture supply. Additionally, a dirty air filter or carbon buildup in the throttle body can also cause shaking, especially during startup or acceleration. I've also experienced vibrations from worn transmission clutches or slight resonance due to aging suspension components. Once the engine starts shaking, it can easily lead to loss of control while driving, which is very dangerous. Therefore, I recommend immediately pulling over to check the spark plugs and air system, and if that doesn't help, go to a professional shop for a comprehensive inspection without delay.

How to Use Cruise Control in CRV?

Honda CRV cruise control operation method is as follows: After the system is activated, when the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press the SET button to maintain continuous driving at that speed. Here are precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pay attention to road conditions: Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road surfaces (such as slippery roads, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain); 2. Do not depress the clutch: After the system is turned on and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, do not depress the clutch pedal or shift the gear lever into neutral, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage.

Can the throttle be released quickly?

Throttle cannot be released quickly. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Reason: When the throttle is completely released, the fuel supply reaches its minimum limit. While driving, the throttle can only be fully released when the transmission is shifted back to neutral. At this time, the vehicle moves forward by inertia. Otherwise, driving at idle speed in a high gear will not only stall the vehicle but also cause the vehicle to stop suddenly, damaging the transmission and potentially leading to rear-end collisions on the road. 2. Throttle: The throttle, also known as the "air throttle" or "throttle valve," refers to the control device that regulates the engine power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the opening of the carburetor's throttle valve to regulate the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power. In gas turbine engines, the throttle controls the metered fuel flow of the fuel regulator, thus determining the thrust produced by the engine.

How to Calculate Vehicle Usage Costs?

Vehicle usage cost calculation method: Usage cost = fuel expenses + road maintenance fees + vehicle and vessel usage tax + car insurance + maintenance and repair costs + other unexpected expenses. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. Six major categories: Vehicle usage costs can generally be summarized into six major categories, including fuel expenses, road maintenance fees, vehicle and vessel usage tax, car insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and other unexpected expenses. Among these, other unexpected expenses account for a significant proportion, including vehicle inspection fees, parking fees, beauty and decoration fees, traffic fines, etc. 2. Measurement conditions: The theoretical fuel consumption measurement conditions are: wind force not exceeding level three, driving at a constant speed of around 90km/h, and tested with specific instruments.

Why is the driving license in a cleared points or detained status?

To check the status of your driving license, visit the vehicle management office. For guidance on the current status and how to proceed, consult with a traffic police officer. Once the necessary procedures are completed, your driving license will return to normal status. Procedures for full-point study and examination: 1. Study: Bring the "Notice of Full-Point Traffic Violation Education for Motor Vehicle Drivers", your ID, driving license or temporary driving license seizure certificate, and register at the vehicle management office's service window within 15 days to receive the full-point study notice. Attend the full-point education study on time. 2. Examination: After completing the study, obtain the "Subject One Examination Appointment Certificate". Bring your ID and the "Subject One Examination Appointment Certificate" to attend the Subject One examination on time. If you fail the 12-point traffic violation examination, you need to rebook and attend the examination at the designated time and place.
