Steering wheel vibration at idle causes: 1. Due to prolonged use, the internal insulation components of the engine ignition coil or spark plugs may age, causing the engine to operate unevenly, which results in steering wheel vibration. The solution is to replace the ignition coil or spark plugs; 2. Poor quality fuel used in the vehicle's engine can lead to excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, causing noticeable steering wheel vibration; 3. Aging or damage to the engine or transmission mounts allows engine vibrations to transfer through the vehicle body to the steering wheel in the cabin, resulting in perceived steering wheel and body vibration. The solution is to replace the engine or transmission mounts; 4. A dirty engine throttle body causes uneven air intake into the cylinders for combustion, leading to engine vibration and consequently slight steering wheel vibration.

Why Do Cars Use Fuel? The Principle Explained

The principle behind cars using fuel lies in the combustion of gasoline to generate energy, which powers the engine to produce mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then transmitted to the tires to overcome ground friction and propel the vehicle forward. Therefore, any substance capable of generating mechanical energy can theoretically serve as fuel. Nowadays, alternative energy vehicles have emerged, utilizing electricity, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), alcohol, solar power, among others. Additionally, most heavy-duty vehicles use diesel instead of gasoline. Additional Information: Precautions for Refueling: 1. Properly Position the Fuel Nozzle: Avoid fuel spillage to prevent fire hazards or even explosions. 2. Secure the Fuel Cap: After refueling, repeatedly verify that the fuel cap is securely locked to ensure driving safety. 3. Static Electricity Discharge: During refueling, it's advisable for all occupants to exit the vehicle. If remaining inside, ensure doors are closed. Discharging static electricity is also crucial—always discharge static by touching a metal object before handling the fuel nozzle. 4. Power Off: Turn off all electrical sources while refueling to minimize accident risks.

How to solve the problem of car ESP system failure?

Solutions for car ESP system failure are as follows: 1. System misjudgment: Since the vehicle stability system is an active safety system, it is normally turned on by default. However, in some cases, the misjudgment of the stability system may hinder the vehicle from getting out of trouble. In this case, the problem can be solved by manually pressing the off button. 2. The vehicle stability system is working: Especially during the recent large-scale snowfall, many people may notice that when the car slips on snow, this light will turn on, indicating that the stability system is intervening. Generally, when the vehicle stability system is working, this light flashes instead of staying on constantly, making it easy to identify. 3. The ESP system reports a failure: When the vehicle's ESP failure light is on, you can first check the wheel speed sensor. Common problems include poor contact and short circuits in the signal line. 4. Decoder detection and decoding: If the ESP sensor is broken or has poor contact, it is recommended to perform a mechanical inspection while also using a decoder for detection and decoding to identify the real cause. Otherwise, it may lead to insufficient power and affect driving safety.
