Here are the reasons for excessive vibration at idle speed in a car: 1. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or faulty spark plug firing can cause this type of problem. 2. Unstable fuel pressure: If you've already cleaned engine carbon deposits, throttle body, replaced gaskets and spark plugs, but still notice body vibration at idle, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop to inspect fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensors. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or faulty intake pressure sensor readings can cause body vibration. 3. Aging engine components: Car vibration can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts act as the vibration absorption system for the engine, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If engine mounts fail, these vibrations will transfer to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking at idle speed.

How to Install and Use a Dash Cam?

The detailed installation steps for a dash cam are as follows: 1. Determine the optimal mounting position for the dash cam. It is recommended to install it on the right side of the interior rearview mirror, as centered as possible, to ensure a proper filming angle and higher reference value. 2. Plan the optimal wiring route based on the power cord length. 3. Tuck the power cord into the gap of the vehicle's headliner. 4. After routing the cord along the headliner, gently pull down the door seal trim. 5. Insert the cord into the door seal trim, align the A-pillar clips, and lightly tap the A-pillar trim panel into place with your fist. 6. Route the cord downward from the top of the A-pillar along the door frame, tucking it into the seal trim while reinstalling the seal, until reaching the bottom of the dashboard where the cord should emerge. 7. Pass the power cord behind the glove box. Depending on the vehicle model, secure the cord behind the glove box, or conceal it behind the firewall or under the floor mat. 8. Loosen the screws of the lower center console trim panel, create a small gap, insert the cord into the gap, and then tighten the screws. 9. Plug the power adapter into the cigarette lighter socket and verify that the dash cam powers on and functions normally.

What is the N gear in automatic transmission vehicles?

Automatic transmission vehicles' N gear is the neutral gear. Below are specific introductions about automatic transmission: 1. Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Cars with automatic transmissions (automatic gearboxes) can automatically change speed and torque according to road conditions, allowing the driver to focus entirely on the road traffic without being distracted by shifting gears. 2. The gears of automatic transmission cars are represented by the following letters: (1) P is the parking gear, P stands for "Parking," used when the car is parked or completely stationary. (2) R is the reverse gear; when using this gear, the car must be completely stationary before engaging. It is strictly prohibited to shift from a forward gear into reverse while the car is moving, as it can easily damage the transmission gears. (3) N is the neutral gear, used when the vehicle is temporarily stopped, such as waiting at a red light or traffic light. (4) D is the driving gear, the 2-speed medium gear, used when the speed is not high, such as in snowy conditions or urban areas. (5) L is the low-speed gear, used for climbing slopes or slippery roads (equivalent to the low-speed gear in manual transmission).

What to Do If You Don't Have a Residence Permit for Vehicle Registration?

Some local police stations may issue a temporary certificate for obtaining a residence permit before the actual permit is issued. This certificate can be used for vehicle registration. Here are the relevant details: 1. According to Article 5 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles": For the first-time application of a motor vehicle license plate and vehicle registration certificate, the owner of the motor vehicle shall apply for registration at the vehicle management office in their place of residence. 2. Article 7 lists the required documents for registration as follows: (1) Proof of identity of the motor vehicle owner. (2) Proof of the origin of the motor vehicle, such as the purchase invoice. (3) The motor vehicle's factory certificate of conformity or import documentation for imported vehicles. (4) Proof of payment of vehicle purchase tax or tax exemption certificate. (5) Proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for the motor vehicle. (6) Proof of payment or tax exemption for vehicle and vessel tax. (7) Other proofs or certificates required by laws and administrative regulations during motor vehicle registration.

How Often Should the Fuel System Be Cleaned?

Generally speaking, the fuel system of a car should be cleaned every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Car owners can determine the cleaning interval based on their driving environment, road conditions, frequency of use, and local fuel quality. Reasons for cleaning the fuel system: 1. After the fuel system has been in operation for a period of time, carbon deposits and gum formed by combustion will adhere to the fuel injectors, causing them to stick or even become clogged. 2. Impurities and dust in the air and fuel can also lead to poor fuel flow or blockages, eventually forming carbon deposits and deposits on the fuel injectors. 3. If the fuel system is not cleaned for a long time, carbon deposits and deposits can clog the fuel injector needle valves and valve holes, affecting the performance of the precision components in the injection system, resulting in poor fuel injection, inadequate atomization, or even no injection. 4. This can lead to unstable idling, increased fuel consumption, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting the car.

What Materials Are Used to Make Engine Oil?

Engine oil (also known as lubricating oil) is primarily divided into two types: mineral oil and synthetic oil. Mineral oil is refined from petroleum as the base oil and then mixed with additives. Synthetic oil's base oil is chemically synthesized before being blended with additives. The following are the functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication: Engine oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of moving engine components, ensuring smoother relative motion between parts. 2. Cleaning: Relative motion between components causes continuous wear, especially during cold starts. Circulating oil carries away debris from wear, preventing further damage. 3. Anti-wear: It reduces friction coefficients and resistance, thereby saving energy. 4. Cooling: Continuously circulating through the engine's oil passages and oil pan, engine oil provides cooling effects similar to coolant. 5. Rust and corrosion prevention: The oil film isolates components from air and moisture, preventing rust. 6. Sealing and leak prevention: Engine oil forms a seal between piston rings and pistons, preventing leaks and contamination. 7. Shock absorption: By lubricating pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings, it cushions impact loads.

What switches and buttons are inside the car?

Vehicles require different lights to be turned on in various situations, mainly including low/high beams, fog lights, position lights, hazard warning flashers, and turn signals. Summer and winter temperatures can be extreme, so the air conditioning system helps improve comfort for both drivers and passengers. During normal driving, doors must be closed and locked; otherwise, they may open when turning or making U-turns. Window control buttons are typically located on each door, with the master control button positioned on the driver's left-side door.
