Abnormal transmission oil pressure can also cause the engine to shake when in D gear. This phenomenon is generally observed in vehicles that have not had their transmission fluid changed or their oil circuit board cleaned for an extended period. This is because, in D gear, the automatic transmission continuously circulates oil pressure, which can lead to excessive pressure and cause abnormal shaking in the transmission. Below are some related explanations: 1. Intermittent shaking: This may be caused by a dirty throttle valve, excessive carbon buildup in the intake pipe, or low idle speed. It could also be due to misfiring in the ignition system (faulty spark plugs or ignition coils) or poor fuel quality. These issues are related to the engine's operating condition. Switching to N gear may improve the situation, but occasional engine shaking might still be noticeable. You can check for carbon buildup or spark plug conditions based on the vehicle's mileage, or try changing the fuel and observe the results. 2. Resonance-induced shaking: This occurs when parts in the engine compartment are not properly installed, are loose, or resonate, such as the intake pipe, air filter housing, radiator, headlights, gear shift cable, wiring harness, etc. Loose components or excessive gaps inside the dashboard can amplify the shaking due to resonance. This can be resolved by carefully inspecting and resetting the parts or slightly increasing the idle speed to avoid the resonance point.

What's the reason for a diesel engine not being able to restart after stalling?

Main reason is that the engine temperature is too low. As long as the engine is kept warm and the biting cold wind is prevented from blowing directly into the engine compartment, the failure to start can be avoided. Specific information is as follows: 1. Parking precautions: When parking in winter, pay attention to the direction of the front of the car. It is best to point the front of the car towards a building, using the building to block the wind and prevent the engine from becoming too cold due to the cold wind. When parking at night, you can point the front of the car towards the direction of the rising sun, so that the first rays of sunlight in the morning can shine on the front of the car, helping the engine to warm up. This makes starting the car much easier. 2. Extended information: If the engine stalls when shifting gears, it may be due to the idle speed being too low at the time, or the idle cut-off valve not being tightened properly, or it could be caused by shifting into too high a gear, or the oil-gas separator being severely clogged.

Does a Dead Car Battery Need Replacement?

1. Jumper Cables: These are essential items for jump-starting a car. Never attempt to use random wires as a substitute, because the instantaneous current during vehicle startup can reach 200-600A, and even up to 1000A for diesel vehicles. Calculated, a 10-square-millimeter copper wire is required to ensure smooth and safe startup. Therefore, always purchase branded, high-quality car battery jumper cables—don't compromise on safety to save money. This is one of the must-have items in your car; it can be used when your battery dies or to help others in need. 2. Emergency Power Source: This is a new portable device similar to a power bank, available in lead-acid and polymer lithium-ion versions. It can assist in jump-starting a depleted battery and also functions as a multi-purpose tool for lighting, charging mobile phones, and inflating tires with an air pump. Typically compact and lightweight, having one eliminates the need to seek help for a jump-start. After use, always recharge it promptly to ensure sufficient power for emergencies. 3. Positive to Positive, Connect Positive First: First, turn off all electrical devices in the car and ensure the key is in the 'off' position. Open the hood and locate the battery, which is clearly marked with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals (usually red '+' for positive). Jumper cables typically come in pairs. Take out the red cable first, open the battery cover, and firmly clamp one end to the dead battery's positive terminal. Then, attach the other end to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery. Always connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative. Never reverse this order or let the clamps touch anything other than the battery terminals. 4. Negative to Negative, Connect Negative Last: After securing the red positive cable, take out the other jumper cable. First, clamp it firmly to the dead battery's negative terminal (usually marked with a black '-'). Then, while ensuring the clamp doesn't touch anything else, attach the other end to the rescue vehicle's negative terminal. Don't be alarmed if sparks appear during this step—it confirms the connection is correct. The reason for connecting the negative last is that most conductive metal parts of the car are grounded (i.e., connected to the negative). If the negative is connected first, accidentally touching any conductive part of the car body while attaching the positive clamp could cause a short circuit, damaging vehicle components. 5. After Starting the Vehicle, Remove Negative First, Then Positive: Once the batteries are connected, start the rescue vehicle to charge the dead battery. Then, the driver of the dead vehicle should turn the key to power the dashboard lights and attempt to start the engine (for no more than 5 seconds). If unsuccessful, gently press the rescue vehicle's accelerator to maintain around 2500 RPM, then try starting again. If the starter and fuel supply are functional, the car should start. After the dead vehicle is running, first remove the negative clamp, then the positive clamp—the same logic as in step 4 applies here. Never reverse the battery's positive and negative connections. For safety, strictly follow the order: connect positive first, then negative; remove negative first, then positive.

What is a Vehicle Emergency Power Supply?

Function of emergency power supply vehicles: They can be used for emergency power supply at airports, communication facilities, telecommunications, coal mines, and oil fields, playing a crucial role in emergency repairs and power supply during unexpected incidents. An emergency power supply vehicle is a special vehicle equipped with a power supply device. It mainly consists of a vehicle chassis, diesel generator set, power transmission and distribution system, high-efficiency sound insulation and noise reduction box, intake and exhaust noise reduction system, exhaust muffler system, lighting system, hydraulic support system, cable winch, and tool equipment compartment. Main features of emergency power supply vehicles: Emergency power supply vehicles offer multiple types of voltage outputs, providing 48V, 110V, or 220V DC outputs, which can meet the emergency power needs of 110kV, 220kV, and 500kV power plants. They have large capacity and long working hours, with a capacity of at least 400Ah, ensuring the power supply duration meets the emergency power demands of power plant control systems during emergencies. Additionally, their continuous operation time is no less than 2 hours. They are capable of normal operation under various environmental conditions. In harsh temperature environments, they ensure the normal functioning of battery packs and elevator components inside the vehicle. Moreover, for severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms and strong winds, the operation panel is designed to be windproof and waterproof. The circuit power supply equipment is equipped with lightning protection modules, providing lightning protection characteristics for the output power, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel during thunderstorms.

What Causes Front Tire Wear?

Four-wheel alignment issues; abnormal tire pressure, either too high or too low. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire Introduction: Tires are the only part of a car that comes into contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For example, some front-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this practice is acceptable. Tire Aging: Tires are rubber products and will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during those four years. This is because tires can also age if left unused for long periods, so it's important to check the production date when purchasing new tires.
