When the BMW 530 experiences shaking and stalling during cold starts, it is primarily due to carbon deposits causing incomplete combustion of gasoline. This leads to engine shaking, unstable idling, difficulty starting, high temperatures, and a tendency to stall. Below is an explanation of cold starts: 1. A cold start refers to starting the car when the engine coolant temperature is low. 2. If the car can start smoothly several times in a row when the engine temperature is normal, it indicates that the battery is in good condition and that the shaking during cold starts is simply due to insufficient oil temperature, with no issues in other car components. 3. Generally, engine shaking may also be accompanied by piston knocking, which can result in severe wear between the piston and cylinder walls.

Is It Normal for a Corolla Engine to Have Abnormal Noises?

If the vehicle exhibits a ticking sound during the transition from cold to warm engine state, lasting about 3 minutes, it is a normal phenomenon and not a problem. This is due to the larger valve clearance in a cold engine and poor lubrication. However, if the sound occurs during acceleration, it is not caused by the valves. Other possible reasons include: 1. Mild knocking: It could be slight knocking. 2. Mild piston slap or ring sticking: There might be slight piston slap or ring sticking. 3. Cylinder wall protrusion: It could be due to cylinder wall protrusion, requiring inspection by an experienced technician.
