What causes engine idle shaking and unstable idle speed?
1 Answers
The causes of engine idle shaking and unstable idle speed include: unstable operation of engine cylinders, excessive carbon deposits in the cylinders, electrical circuit issues, aging of engine mounts, and problems with the ignition system. If there is an issue with the ignition coil, it will directly cause abnormal spark plug firing, leading to continuous engine shaking. Excessive carbon deposits in the cylinders can also result in unstable idle speed and shaking. The reasons for excessive carbon deposits in the cylinders include prolonged idling in place and substandard gasoline causing incomplete combustion. Excessive carbon deposits in the cylinders can lead to poor spark plug ignition, causing abnormal engine shaking. Excessive carbon deposits in the combustion chamber can also clog the valves, resulting in poor air intake and causing abnormal engine shaking.
