Chery Fengyun 2 idle vibration may be caused by severe engine carbon deposits, ignition system failure, or oil pressure issues. Severe Engine Carbon Deposits: Engine carbon deposits are a primary cause of vehicle vibration. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline injected by the fuel injector during a cold start is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making the vehicle prone to vibration. Ignition System Failure: Excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs or excessively large ignition gaps can lead to ignition failure. Oil Pressure Issues: Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor can cause poor fuel pump performance, leading to vehicle vibration.

I've dealt with quite a few idle vibration issues before, and cars like the Chery Fengyun 2 often exhibit this problem. There are many common causes. Engine carbon buildup is the prime suspect, especially when too much black residue accumulates in the throttle body, leading to restricted airflow and causing uneven idle vibrations. Worn spark plugs are another major issue—after about 100,000 kilometers, they might misfire, resulting in shaking. Problems with the ignition coils can also cause the engine to jerk erratically if the voltage is unstable. Aging engine mounts are another frequent culprit; over time, the rubber softens or cracks, reducing vibration dampening, and you might feel a buzzing sensation in the seat when idling. I recommend checking these areas first: use fuel additives to clean carbon deposits, replace old spark plugs promptly, and the issue can usually be resolved. Don’t let it escalate into a bigger problem that compromises safety.

My old car also had idle vibration issues. While driving, I could feel the steering wheel shaking slightly, which was really annoying. It might have been due to the dirty fuel I used, causing carbon buildup to clog the fuel injectors and uneven fuel spray, making the engine shudder. Or perhaps the air filter was too dirty, restricting airflow and causing the shaking. Another simpler possibility was a cracked engine mount, making the car vibrate when idling, sounding like an old ox panting. I once fixed it myself by replacing the filter and the mount, and the problem actually went away. If that doesn't work, it's best to have a shop check the electrical system or sensors to prevent things from getting worse and wasting more fuel.

Idle shaking usually involves checking several key components. For instance, if the ignition system malfunctions, spark plugs with excessive gaps may fail to ignite, requiring replacement of aged spark plugs or high-voltage wires. Air system leaks, such as small holes in rubber hoses allowing uncontrolled air intake into the engine, can cause unstable idling—try revving; worsened shaking may indicate this issue. Carbon buildup on the throttle body can intensify shaking when AC is on. Always wear gloves during inspection to avoid burns. Simple fixes include carbon cleaning, while complex issues like faulty sensors require professional diagnostic tools—address promptly to prevent engine damage.
