Car vibration is caused by abnormal ignition. Here is a relevant introduction about car engine maintenance: 1. Keep the crankcase well ventilated: Pollutants in the air will deposit around the PCV valve, which may clog the valve. If the PCV valve is clogged, polluted gases will flow back into the air filter, contaminating the filter element and reducing its filtering capacity. The inhaled mixture will become dirtier, further polluting the crankcase, leading to increased fuel consumption, accelerated engine wear, and even engine damage. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain the PCV and remove pollutants around the PCV valve. 2. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter: When the oil passes through the fine holes of the oil filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged, the oil cannot flow smoothly through the filter element, which may cause the filter element to burst or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry dirt back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution.

Car vibration issues are quite common, and I've encountered them several times with various causes. The most frequent one is unbalanced tires, especially when driving on highways where the steering wheel shakes violently, possibly due to improper wheel balancing or uneven tire pressure. Secondly, damage to the suspension system, such as worn-out shock absorbers, can cause noticeable body sway, particularly on bumpy roads. Another common issue is engine ignition problems, like faulty spark plugs, which can cause the car to vibrate during idling or acceleration. Heavy vibration during braking is usually due to uneven brake discs, leading to a jolting sensation. It's advisable to check the simpler issues first, such as tire pressure and wear conditions. If the problem persists, visit a professional workshop for a comprehensive inspection to prevent vibration from affecting handling safety and causing unnecessary risks.

What to Do When ETC Card is Restricted?

ETC restrictions are mostly caused by abnormal status of the bound bank card. The following situations may occur: 1. Account Overdraft: If the ETC is bound to a credit card and there are overdue payments while still using ETC, it is highly likely to result in ETC deduction failure, leading to being blacklisted. Ensure timely repayment of the credit card each month. It is recommended to activate the automatic repayment function for the relevant bank's credit card to perfectly resolve this issue. 2. Abnormal Card Status: For example, insufficient balance in a debit card, frozen bank account, bank system issues, etc., may all cause abnormal card status leading to ETC system deduction failure. If you cannot pass through ETC due to such reasons, you can pay in cash on the spot first and then call the bank's customer service to resolve the issue.

What are the penalty rules for the hill start?

The penalty criteria for the hill start are as follows: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward, it is considered a failure. If the front bumper or front axle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward, a penalty of 10 points is applied (previously 20 points). If the vehicle stops and the body is more than 30 cm away from the road edge line but does not exceed 50 cm, a penalty of 10 points is applied (previously 20 points). If the body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge line, a penalty of 100 points is applied. If the vehicle rolls back 10-30 cm after starting, a penalty of 10 points is applied. If the vehicle rolls back more than 30 cm, it is considered a failure. If the engine stalls once due to improper operation, a penalty of 10 points is applied. If the vehicle is not started within 30 seconds after stopping, it is considered a failure due to timeout. If the parking brake is not tightened after stopping, a penalty of 10 points is applied. If the vehicle rides or presses on the solid road edge line during movement, it is considered a failure.

What Does the Engine Oil Grade Mean?

Automotive engine oil grades represent the viscosity and quality of the oil. Taking "15W-40, 5W-40" as an example: 1. The meaning of the letter "W": "W" stands for Winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. For example, 5W represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30°C, while 20W resists low temperatures of -15°C. 2. The meaning of the number after the letter "W": The number after "W" represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 40 indicates that the kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C is between 12.5mm²/s and 16.3mm²/s.

What to Do If Caught Driving Without a Driver's License by Traffic Police?

If caught driving without a driver's license, you will be fined and may face detention for up to 15 days. Those who drive without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, have their license revoked, or are driving during the period when their license is temporarily suspended will be fined by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Definition of a driver's license in China: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the management authorities, allowing individuals who have learned to drive motor vehicles in accordance with the law, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the relevant tests to operate specific types of motor vehicles. 2. History of driver's licenses: Before May 2004, driver's licenses were annotated with three types of permitted driving models: A license (for large buses), B license (for large trucks), and C license (for small cars).

What are the reasons for the power system warning light to illuminate?

Engine warning light illumination is usually caused by the following reasons: 1. Poor combustion condition: Poor engine combustion is the main cause of the engine warning light. During vehicle operation or at the moment of ignition, the engine warning light on the dashboard (usually red or yellow) illuminates. In most cases, it won't disappear automatically, though it may in rare instances. 2. Engine knocking: In the first scenario, some engine warning lights may illuminate while others may not. In the second and third scenarios, the engine warning light will inevitably illuminate. 3. Internal causes for engine warning light illumination: Poor fuel quality; Dirty engine cylinders with carbon deposits. Over time, engines inevitably accumulate carbon deposits, which alter the engine's design parameters and, due to their unstable nature and heat retention, can cause irregular ignition leading to engine knocking. 4. Cooling system issues such as piston scuffing, knocking, cylinder leakage, severe noise generation, and reduced acceleration power: These occur due to abnormal engine operating temperatures, excessive pressure, and poor cooling system conditions. A malfunctioning cooling system directly prevents the engine from operating at normal temperatures, resulting in the aforementioned severe issues.
