Here are the specific reasons for jerking at low speeds in an Accord: 1. Clogged engine oil passages: The combustion of fuel, which is the power source of the engine, is determined by the combined action of ignition, intake, and fuel injectors. If the intake volume decreases, ignition weakens, or fuel injection reduces, the power output will be insufficient, leading to a jerking sensation. 2. Dirty transmission fluid: This can cause damage to the solenoid valves. If sludge in the transmission fluid circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, jerking issues will occur. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission problems such as overheating, harsh shifting, and slipping. 3. Break-in period: Slight jerking during driving is normal during this period because the vehicle's power output and component engagement are not at their optimal levels. Additionally, the transmission control module has a self-learning mechanism that continuously adjusts oil pressure for smoother gear shifts.

What is the Difference Between Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control and Regular Cruise Control?

Adaptive cruise control, compared to regular cruise control, offers a higher level of automation and better adaptability to road conditions. Adaptive cruise control is also known as active cruise control. The system mainly includes radar sensors, an ECU, and its execution module. When in use, the driver only needs to set the desired speed, and the system will then use radar and infrared beams to determine the position of the vehicle ahead, ultimately sending signals to the engine to execute braking or acceleration. Adaptive cruise control has a wide range of applications, including urban congested roads and highways. Below is a related introduction: The function of regular cruise control is to allow the driver to maintain a set speed without needing to press the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed, enabling the car to move forward at the predetermined speed. During the operation of regular cruise control, regardless of changes in road slope or wind resistance, the car's speed remains unchanged. Its main application scenarios are highways and closed roads. It is not very suitable for stop-and-go urban traffic conditions. Similarly, it is not suitable for rainy or snowy weather.

Can You Ride a Motorcycle on the Highway?

Highway riding is permitted for motorcycles, as their speed generally exceeds 70 kilometers per hour. However, specific policies depend on local traffic regulations, as traffic conditions vary across different provinces and cities in China, requiring case-by-case analysis. Here are some precautions for highway motorcycle riding: 1. Obey traffic laws: Adhere to highway regulations, avoid speeding, and refrain from unnecessary lane changes. 2. Maintain safe distance: Motorcycles inherently have weaker braking capabilities than cars, so it's crucial to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 3. Check vehicle condition: Before entering the highway, inspect your motorcycle to ensure the braking system functions properly, tire pressure is correct, and tires maintain sufficient traction.

Can I Keep My License Plate When Changing Cars?

You can keep your license plate when changing cars, but the following conditions must be met: 1. The license plate application must be submitted within six months after the original vehicle is transferred or deregistered. Even one day beyond this period is not allowed, and these six months include holidays. 2. The original license plate must have been used for at least three years. 3. There must be no traffic violations or unresolved accidents associated with the original license plate. 4. Only the original owner (individual or organization) can apply to retain the original license plate; it cannot be transferred to another person. Additional information: 1. License plate policy: There are clear regulations regarding license plate policies. While vehicles can be bought and sold, the license plate belongs to the owner and cannot be transferred. This means the original license plate can only be used by the original owner (individual or organization) and cannot be transferred to others, not even between family members like father and son. 2. Restrictions on 'one person, multiple cars': In some regions, such as Shenzhen and Hangzhou, there are restrictions on 'one person, multiple cars.' If an individual owns more than two cars, only one can retain the original license plate when changing cars. Moreover, only local residents or non-local residents who have paid social insurance for at least two years can retain the original license plate.

Can gradient colors on cars be registered?

The gradient color on a car is not legal and cannot be registered. If you want to change the body color, only paint spraying is allowed. If the sprayed area exceeds one-third of the body size, it needs to be registered. Here are detailed explanations about car colors: 1. Overview: Car color (automobile-color) is one of the elements of car styling. Car colors include the paint color on the exterior and the colors of various materials in the interior. When the interior environment and the exterior color of the car harmonize with the surroundings, it can provide a pleasant experience for passengers and pedestrians. 2. Whether the vehicle color can be changed: The method of changing the overall color with body wraps is not allowed. The changed color must be the original factory-registered color of the vehicle; otherwise, it will not pass the annual inspection.

Why does the car shake when releasing the accelerator?

Shaking when releasing the accelerator may be caused by mismatched engine and transmission, clutch issues, or loose ball joints in the steering linkage creating gaps. Precautions for accelerator operation are as follows: 1. Starting: Use your right heel on the floor as a pivot point, gently press the accelerator with your foot, and control it with ankle movements. Apply and release pressure smoothly and gradually. 2. Engine startup: Don't press the accelerator fully; keep it slightly above idle speed. When moving off, apply throttle slightly before the clutch engagement point, using moderate throttle opening. Coordinate clutch release with accelerator operation precisely. 3. Driving: Adjust throttle according to road conditions. Select appropriate gears to keep the engine mostly running at medium RPM with larger throttle openings for fuel efficiency. Coordinate throttle, clutch, and gear changes smoothly.
