What Causes the Baojun 310 to Shake When Starting?

Baojun 310 shaking during startup is caused by uneven engagement due to warping or deformation of the clutch disc or clutch pressure plate. Causes of startup shaking: Dirty throttle body leading to uneven air intake and operation, clogged fuel lines causing insufficient fuel supply at low throttle, resulting in uneven engine cylinder operation and shaking, or transmission malfunction preventing normal operation. Solutions for startup shaking: Typically an ignition system issue—remove the ignition coil to check for rusty contacts or loose screws. Replace spark plugs on schedule (mileage varies by material). If the engine air filter is too dirty, the reduced sponge porosity makes air intake difficult. Also check the throttle body for proper function, and inspect the fuel pump and supply lines for normal operation.

When driving the Baojun 310, I experienced shaking during startup. The most common issue is likely clutch disc wear, as the 310's clutch system tends to slip and vibrate during startup if it's aged or improperly adjusted. Another possibility is faulty ignition coils or spark plugs, which can cause the engine to lack power and shake when accelerating. Additionally, unbalanced half-shafts or drive shafts may lead to body wobbling, especially noticeable on bumpy roads. Excessive carbon buildup blocking the fuel line and causing poor fuel supply can also result in shaking. It's advisable to first check for any unusual noises from the clutch pedal. If present, promptly visit a professional auto repair shop for inspection to prevent safety hazards. Remember to conduct a full vehicle inspection every 10,000 kilometers or so to prevent many minor issues.

As a long-time owner of the Baojun 310, I've found that starting vibrations are mostly caused by faulty spark plugs or a worn clutch. My own car vibrated a few times, and I initially thought it was a minor issue, but it turned out the spark plugs were severely carbon-fouled. After replacing them, the car ran smoothly again. Worn clutch plates can also cause this—you'll hear a clunking noise and feel vibrations when releasing the clutch. Another possibility is dirty fuel injectors; cleaning the fuel system can help. Less commonly, it could be due to loose suspension or uneven tire pressure, but it's still worth checking. If you encounter this issue, don't force the car to run—take it to a trusted mechanic to test the clutch and ignition system. Spending a little money now can save you big trouble later. For daily driving, try to avoid starting at low RPMs to reduce engine strain, and maintaining good driving habits is crucial.

When I used to repair cars, I saw the Baojun 310 shaking during startup, most likely due to clutch slippage or issues with the half-shaft. If the clutch plate is worn thin, it can't grip properly, causing shaking when starting. A bent half-shaft can also lead to unstable transmission and shaking. Carbon buildup clogging the fuel injectors or leaking ignition wires are also common causes. I recommend first checking the clutch wear—if the clutch feels loose when pressed, replace the plate. The half-shaft balance should also be tested; otherwise, long-term driving could lead to a broken shaft. A simple fix is cleaning the fuel system and replacing the spark plugs, which is cost-effective and yields good results. If the shaking is severe, stop the car immediately to avoid further damage.
