What Causes the Car to Shake When Accelerating Uphill?
1 Answers
The issue of the car shaking when accelerating uphill may be caused by poor ignition, which could be due to insufficient ignition energy from the ignition coil, spark plug breakdown, or excessive electrode gap wear. More details on vehicle shaking are as follows: 1. During acceleration: The most common fault is damaged spark plugs. Worn spark plug electrode gaps result in insufficient spark, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture and causing shaking during acceleration. Cracks in the ceramic part of the spark plug can prevent ignition, and if one cylinder is not functioning, it can also cause shaking during acceleration. 2. Fuel: Poor-quality gasoline can lead to inadequate atomization by the fuel injectors, causing incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, which results in idle shaking. It is recommended to use higher-grade gasoline after finishing the current tank and to perform a fuel system cleaning. 3. Tires: The most common cause of shaking while driving is uneven tire tread on the four wheels, such as bulges or foreign objects. Additionally, loose wheel bearings can also cause the vehicle to shake while driving.
