The reasons for car vibration while driving are: 1. Excessive carbon deposits on the fuel injector and throttle body. During cold starts, these deposits absorb some of the gasoline, leading to a lean combustible mixture, making starting difficult or causing engine vibration; 2. Issues related to car tires. It is necessary to check the tire pressure, tire wear, shock absorbers, and other components; 3. Vibration caused by abnormalities in the car's fuel supply and ignition systems. Check whether the intake pressure sensor, fuel supply pressure, spark plug firing, etc., are normal; 4. Problems with the car's body components. Check whether the engine mounts, rubber ball joint covers, and parts securing the engine are loose or worn out.

I've been driving for over ten years and often encounter the issue of car shaking while driving. Generally, the most common causes are unbalanced tires or deformed wheel rims. Every time you get new tires, it's essential to perform dynamic balancing immediately; otherwise, the wheels will wobble when rotating at high speeds. Another critical point is problems with the suspension system, such as damaged shock absorbers or aging springs, which become more noticeable when the car bumps and may require part replacement or repair. Never underestimate the braking system; if the brake discs are worn or uneven, the shaking becomes more severe when braking at high speeds. Worn drive shafts or universal joints on the half-shafts can also lead to this condition, especially feeling the car pulling during acceleration. Issues with the engine's ignition system may also cause shaking, such as burnt spark plugs or faulty ignition coils. I recommend regular maintenance checks on these components and addressing any problems immediately to prevent more severe failures and ensure driving safety.

Should You Start the Engine Immediately Upon Entering the Car for Subject Three?

Starting the engine is required when entering the car for the Subject Three driving test. Here are the specific details for the Subject Three test: 1. Vehicle Inspection: Examinees must carefully check whether the vehicle is in idle state. If the tachometer shows around 800 RPM, the vehicle is idling normally. If it indicates 0, the engine is off and needs to be started. 2. Test Risks: Subject Three is an open-road test, which carries certain safety risks during the examination. A single wrong move by the examinee could lead to a serious traffic accident. 3. Test Interference: Subject Three must be conducted on actual roads with traffic flow, making it particularly susceptible to external disturbances. Examinees should pay attention to details during the test. 4. Scoring Criteria: The Subject Three test is evaluated through a combination of system and manual assessment. If the examinee's operation is inadequate, they will fail the test.

Why does the automatic transmission car jerk when shifting gears?

Automatic transmission cars may jerk when shifting gears mainly due to vibrations from gear engagement or thick transmission gear oil. The jerking can be divided into two scenarios: front body shaking and rear body shaking. Vibrations from gear engagement: If the front body shakes when shifting gears in an automatic transmission car, it is caused by vibrations from gear engagement, which is normal. In automatic transmissions, the onboard computer controls gear shifts. When the driver issues a shift command, the computer automatically shifts gears as long as the RPM is within a reasonable range, which can produce vibrations. In contrast, manual transmission drivers can control the clutch to reduce the sensation of vibration. Thick transmission gear oil: If the rear body shakes when shifting gears in an automatic transmission car, it is due to thick transmission gear oil with high density. The drivetrain receives engine power more noticeably, causing the rear body to shake visibly. When the car is in motion, the transmission gear oil temperature rises, thinning the oil and eliminating the shaking.

What should the engine RPM be at 80 mph?

The engine RPM should be maintained between 2000-2500 when driving at 80 mph. For a 1.4T displacement engine, an engine speed of around 2000 rpm is normal, while the idle speed typically ranges between 700 rpm and 1000 rpm. The effective power output of the engine varies with different RPM levels, meaning the engine's effective power is closely related to its rotational speed. The maximum power calibrated before the engine leaves the factory is not the absolute maximum power the engine can produce, as the maximum effective power of an engine has its limits. Even for the same engine model, the power output may differ based on the vehicle's intended use. When starting the car in first gear, the engine RPM generally stays around 1000-1500 rpm. In second gear, it maintains around 1500-2000 rpm. Similarly, in third and fourth gears, the RPM remains between 1500-2000 rpm. When driving at high speeds in fifth gear, the engine RPM typically ranges from 1500-3000 rpm.
