What Causes Engine Shaking When Starting?

The reasons for engine shaking when starting are: 1. Poor fuel quality: Inferior fuel has poor volatility, preventing proper mixing of fuel and air in the combustion chamber; 2. Carbon buildup on engine valves and intake manifold: Carbon deposits can absorb some fuel. For example, if the ECU commands 100 units of fuel-air mixture but only 90 units reach the combustion chamber (10 units absorbed by carbon deposits), even complete combustion of the remaining 90 units won't provide sufficient power. Engine shaking during startup may also be caused by abnormal coolant temperature, low cylinder pressure, or clogged fuel injectors. If your vehicle experiences startup shaking, it's recommended to visit an authorized service center for inspection.

Is It Safe to Keep the Vehicle Registration Certificate in the Car?

No, it is not safe. While the vehicle license can be kept in the car, the vehicle registration certificate should be stored at home. As long as you are not selling the car, there is no need to carry the green book (vehicle registration certificate) with you. Vehicle License: Also known as the motor vehicle license, it is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The Motor Vehicle License is an important document recognized by Chinese laws and regulations, playing a significant role. Motor vehicle drivers must attach great importance to it to protect their legitimate rights and interests from being infringed. Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate: If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the owner of the motor vehicle should apply for a replacement or reissuance at the local vehicle management office. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit identity proof. For a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle must also be inspected. The vehicle management office should confirm the motor vehicle, review the submitted proofs and certificates, and reissue or replace the motor vehicle registration certificate within one day from the date of acceptance.

What Causes the Insufficient Battery Warning on the Car's Central Control Screen?

The reason for the insufficient battery warning displayed on the car's central control screen may be due to low battery voltage. Here are the specific details: 1. Cause: To confirm low battery power, observe the vehicle's ignition performance during winter mornings. If the ignition is slower than usual, requiring multiple attempts, or the battery seems strained, it indicates low battery voltage. Another way to check is by observing the headlights during ignition—if they dim, it signifies insufficient battery power and requires attention. 2. Solution: If the battery charge is low during winter, it's advisable to recharge the battery by driving for about half an hour, preferably on highways or elevated roads. For cars experiencing low battery issues, drive the vehicle every three to four days. In winter, park the car in a garage to avoid prolonged exposure to low outdoor temperatures, which can further deplete the battery, as garages generally maintain higher temperatures. Avoid using the radio, lights, etc., after turning off the engine if the battery is low. Additionally, replace the battery if it has been in use for two and a half to three years.

What Three Points to Look at for Straight Driving?

The so-called "three-point alignment" refers to the projection points on the ground formed by the driver's eyes, any point on the car, and the ray connecting the first two points during driving. The "alignment" refers to the ray connecting the first two points. While driving, the driver can observe the distance between the second and third points and surrounding obstacles, thereby determining the distance between the car and the surrounding obstacles. This provides an important reference for maintaining a safe distance between the car and surrounding obstacles. Relevant information about the driver's license test is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination conducted by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. 2. Content: The test for motor vehicle drivers is divided into the following subjects: the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as the "theoretical test," abbreviated as "Subject One"), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as the "pole test," abbreviated as "Subject Two"), and the subject of road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as the "road test," abbreviated as "Subject Three"). The test content and passing standards are uniform nationwide, with corresponding test items specified for different types of vehicles.

Is There a Concept of Fully Synthetic Transmission Oil?

Transmission oil can be fully synthetic. Fully Synthetic Oil: Fully synthetic oil is formulated using special structured esters and PAO (Polyalphaolefin) fully synthetic base oils as raw materials, combined with the latest global composite additive technology, and blended through advanced processes. It represents the pinnacle of gasoline engine oils worldwide. Performance: Oxidation Stability: Its antioxidant capacity is approximately 25% higher than that of conventional fully synthetic oils, more effectively controlling oil oxidation and degradation, thereby extending the oil change interval. Detergency and Dispersancy: Its cleaning and dispersing performance is over five times that of mineral oils, significantly reducing deposit formation, preventing engine wear, maintaining robust engine power, and reducing fuel consumption. Excellent Low-Temperature Fluidity: Ensures smooth engine starts even at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius. Note: Avoid mixing or misuse during application; when adding oil, it must be stored in a cool, dry place, sealed and protected from light, with a storage temperature range of -20 to 40 degrees Celsius; unopened fully synthetic oil has a shelf life of three years. If used beyond this period, it requires re-inspection and must meet quality standards.

What are the solutions for the P0321 trouble code?

p0321 trouble code requires different solutions depending on the cause. The specific methods are as follows: 1. If it is an engine speed sensor failure, you can use a resistance meter to measure the resistance between the two pins of the sensor (the normal value should generally be between 0.7-1.2). If it exceeds the specified range, it means the sensor is damaged, and the speed sensor should be replaced at this time. The engine speed sensor is an inductive sensor used to identify the engine speed. Together with the Hall sensor, it identifies the top dead center of the first cylinder's ignition, thereby determining the fuel injection timing and ignition timing. Therefore, when the sensor fails, it is very harmful to the car. 2. If the speed sensor fails, the fault light on the car's dashboard will generally illuminate. For general faults, empirical methods can be used for inspection and troubleshooting, such as checking whether the parts are damaged, whether the wiring is broken or damaged, and whether the connectors are secure. 3. After troubleshooting the car, the trouble code needs to be cleared. When clearing the code, it is essential to follow the specified method (as per the manual) for the particular vehicle model. Do not clear the code arbitrarily without following the instructions and requirements. 4. If the problem persists after troubleshooting the wiring, the speed sensor should be replaced.

What is the normal tire pressure for gs4?

gs4 normal tire pressure is 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and engine damage will lead to the end of the car's life. The tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car.
