Engine vibration and loud noise can be caused by: 1. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors. 2. Worn or loose engine mounts. 3. One or more cylinders not functioning properly. 4. Fuel system malfunction. 5. Air intake system issues. 6. Normal reaction during cold starts. Introduction to automobile engines: 1. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. 2. The term engine can refer either to the power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit.

Can I Take the Driving Test on Weekends?

No, the driving test is conducted at the driving test center, which follows the national statutory holidays for rest. The driving test center is under the jurisdiction of the traffic police, who are governed by the Ministry of Public Security, which in turn is managed by the government. In May 1995, China implemented a six-day workweek system. Although tests cannot be taken on weekends, driving schools remain open for practice sessions. Currently, there are four subjects in the driving test. Below is an introduction to each subject: 1. Subject 1 primarily assesses basic knowledge of road traffic safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, and driving rules. It also includes content on safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving skills in complex conditions, and emergency handling, which were previously part of Subject 1 but are now separated as the safe and civilized driving knowledge test in Subject 3, conducted after the actual road driving test. 2. Subject 2 includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, starting on a slope and stopping at a designated point, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. 3. Subject 3 covers preparations before starting, starting, passing intersections, obeying traffic signals, driving according to road markings, changing lanes, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, and stopping at designated points. It includes 16 road driving skills: preparation before starting, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, night driving, shifting gears, turning left at intersections, and turning right at intersections. 4. Subject 4 is the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, which focuses on safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods such as tire blowouts, and post-accident procedures. This written test is conducted within one day after passing the road test and can be taken an unlimited number of times for free.

Why is the car so noisy?

The reasons for loud car noise are as follows: 1. The engine mount rubber is aged or loose. In fact, the rubber blocks between the engine and the frame, if these engine mount rubbers become aged or loose, the engine will vibrate, and the faster the speed, the louder the vibration sound will be. It is necessary to tighten or replace the engine mount rubber. 2. If the oil viscosity does not match the engine, it is easy to produce carbon deposits, causing the engine noise to increase. 3. Engine misfire, mainly refers to one or more cylinders of the engine not working properly, usually manifested as obvious intermittency in the exhaust gas flow from the car, and severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and the engine's "puttering" or "thumping, thumping" sound can be clearly heard.

Can China V Vehicles Still Be Licensed?

China VI emission standards were advanced to take effect from July 1, 2019, with the policy prohibiting licensing being implemented regionally in phases. The first batch includes Class A areas in first-tier cities. To confirm whether China V vehicles can still be licensed, it's best to consult the local vehicle management office. Below is relevant information about the China V standard: 1. China V is an emission standard level for motor vehicles in Beijing, formulated and issued by the Beijing Environmental Protection Department, equivalent to the Euro V standard, known as the 'China V standard'. 2. The China IV emission standard is the fifth stage national motor vehicle pollutant emission standard, referred to as the 'China V standard'. The emission control level of the China V standard is equivalent to the fifth stage emission standard currently implemented in Europe. It imposes stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Compared to the China IV standard, nitrogen oxide emissions are required to be reduced by 25%, and additional limits are placed on non-methane hydrocarbons and PM emissions to reduce air pollution and combat smog. 3. In 2012, Beijing planned to implement the China V standard. Once fully implemented, it would mean that vehicle models failing to meet this emission standard would not be allowed for sale in Beijing. Previously, to control motor vehicle pollution, Beijing had consistently enforced national standards ahead of schedule. To support the implementation of the China V emission standard, Beijing also planned to further improve fuel quality to align with the China V standard.

What is the difference between energy-saving vehicles and new energy vehicles?

Energy-saving vehicles and new energy vehicles differ in their power sources: Energy-saving vehicles primarily use internal combustion engines as their main power system, with fuel consumption under comprehensive operating conditions that surpass the target values for the next phase of vehicles, relying on traditional fuels as the power source; new energy vehicles utilize unconventional automotive fuels as their power source. Relevant information about energy-saving vehicles and new energy vehicles is as follows: 1. Energy-saving vehicles refer to vehicles with low energy consumption, low pollution, small displacement, new energy, and new power sources. 2. New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), pure electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those with high-efficiency energy storage devices like supercapacitors and flywheels).

When will Jilin implement China 6 emission standards?

China 6a emission standards were implemented on July 1, 2023, but the specific timing varies across different regions. Here is relevant information: 1. To reduce air pollution caused by fuel vehicles, the government will implement measures to control vehicle emissions. China 6a emission standards represent a transitional phase from China 5 to China 6 emission standards, while China 6b standards are the true China 6 emission standards. 2. Some regions may implement China 6 standards earlier, such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, which adopted them on July 1, 2019. Conversely, other regions may delay implementation to allow manufacturers more time to adjust, enabling unsold China 5 vehicles to be transported to regions where the standards have not yet been implemented.
