What Causes the Car to Shake When Stopped at a Red Light in D Gear?
1 Answers
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.
