What Causes Engine Shaking When Hot but Not When Cold?
1 Answers
Engine shaking when hot but not when cold indicates an engine malfunction. Below are relevant explanations about car shaking: 1. Causes of car shaking: Car shaking can occur during startup, idle, or high-speed driving. Startup shaking is mainly caused by insufficient fuel combustion, leading to inadequate power output. Low ignition energy during startup, especially when fuel and lubricant temperatures are low, requires more throttle input to meet power demands. The electrode gap in spark plugs gradually widens, resulting in reduced ignition energy and poor fuel atomization. 2. Explanation of idle shaking: There are many reasons for car shaking during cold starts and warm starts. Besides insufficient fuel combustion, it could be due to abnormal engine coolant temperature, low cylinder pressure, or clogged fuel injectors. If your car exhibits startup shaking, it's recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.
