Here are the reasons why the Cadillac CT6 shakes during cold starts: 1. Insufficient engine temperature: When starting a cold engine, the temperature inside the engine is similar to the surrounding environment, which is not ideal for engine operation. In low temperatures, fuel atomization is poor, leading to reduced ignition energy and affecting performance, causing the car to shake. This phenomenon occurs more frequently in winter, so parking the car in a garage during cold weather can help alleviate engine shaking. 2. Incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio: During a cold start, the engine oil viscosity is high, and various components are not fully lubricated, making it easy for the air-fuel mixture ratio to be inaccurate. The car's computer may misjudge, reducing power output and causing shaking. 3. Carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon buildup is one of the main reasons for shaking during cold starts. Due to varying driving conditions and habits, different levels of carbon deposits can form on the valves and intake pipes, making cold starts difficult. This can also lead to insufficient power or even stalling while driving. If carbon buildup is severe, it should be cleaned promptly. If you cannot resolve it yourself, visit a 4S store for professional assistance.

How Long Does It Typically Take to Recharge Freon in a Car's Air Conditioning System?

Generally, a Freon recharge is needed every 2 years. Below is an introduction to the classification of car air conditioning systems: 1. By driving method: Independent type (uses a dedicated engine to drive the compressor, offering large cooling capacity and stable operation, but with high cost, large size and weight, mostly used in large and medium-sized buses) and non-independent type (the air conditioning compressor is driven by the car engine, with cooling performance significantly affected by the engine's operation, less stable, mostly used in small buses and sedans). 2. By air conditioning performance: Single-function type (separate installation of cooling, heating, and ventilation systems, operated independently without interference, mostly used in large buses and trucks) and integrated heating-cooling type (sharing a blower and air ducts for cooling, heating, and ventilation, controlled on the same panel, which can be divided into combined type where cold and warm air work separately and mixed temperature-adjustable type where cold and warm air can work simultaneously).

Supplying power to the car's electrical equipment when the engine is off or idling at low speed; 3. Assisting in powering electrical devices when the generator's output is insufficient; 4. Mitigating voltage surges in the electrical system to protect the car's electronic devices; 5. Storing excess electricity generated by the alternator. Methods for maintaining the battery include: 1. Starting the car periodically to charge the battery; 2. Adding distilled water or specialized replenishing fluid when the electrolyte level is low; 3. Regularly checking the ventilation holes on the battery cover during daily driving; 4. Inspecting the positive and negative terminals for signs of oxidation; 5. Checking all parts of the circuit for aging or short circuits; 6. Turning off all electrical devices when leaving the car.
