Baojun 510 AMT shaking when starting is caused by severe wear or displacement of the clutch fork. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not working properly. It manifests as an obvious intermittent flow of exhaust gas from the car, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and noticeable engine vibration, sometimes accompanied by a sputtering sound. This is mostly related to ignition coil failure. Engine air-fuel mixture being sometimes lean and sometimes rich: This causes idle shaking after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is needed for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly.

After years in auto repair, I've seen it all. The most common cause of jerky starts in the Baojun 510 AMT is improper clutch engagement or worn clutch plates. AMT transmissions rely on electronically controlled clutches - if the positioning is off or the electronic control system has issues during takeoff, it'll cause stuttering and vibrations. Unstable engine idle is another culprit; spark plug carbon buildup or uneven fuel injection can affect smoothness. Temperature extremes may also slow down sensor response, amplifying the shudder. My advice: avoid aggressive starts, try gentle acceleration first. If that doesn't help, get the clutch and ECU checked professionally ASAP. Small issues left unchecked can snowball into costly overhauls.

I've been driving my 510 AMT for over a year, and occasionally the shaking at startup is so bad it makes my hands go numb. At first, I thought it was a car issue, but after adjusting my driving habits, it improved a lot—slowly releasing the brake and gently pressing the accelerator, as being too hasty or stomping on the pedal worsens the vibration. Maintenance is also crucial; for example, if the engine oil is too old or the clutch fluid is insufficient, parts wear out faster. Once, the shaking was severe, and the 4S shop said a sensor was faulty—replacing it fixed the issue. So don’t take it lightly; regular checks on fuel system cleanliness and wiring harness connections can prevent a lot of unnecessary vibrations.

The AMT system is actually quite sophisticated. The shaking during the start of the Baojun 510 is often caused by clutch actuator position deviation or control logic errors. Some software versions may have bugs leading to uneven engagement, and inaccurate sensor readings due to temperature changes during cold starts are also common. Coupled with engine fuel supply issues such as clogged fuel injectors, unstable idling can amplify the shaking. It is recommended to use diagnostic tools to scan for fault codes, check the status of the air flow meter and fuel filter, and maintaining system cleanliness can significantly improve the situation.

Don't ignore vehicle starting vibrations. For the Baojun 510 AMT, electronic control failures or circuit issues like loose fuses are most common, but engine carbon buildup can also indirectly cause shaking. I believe regular maintenance is crucial—checking clutch fluid levels monthly and changing engine oil quarterly can prevent worsening. Safety-wise, vibrations during red light starts may cause distraction-related rear-end collisions, so if issues arise, have a technician use a multimeter to test wiring connections. Early repairs ensure smooth and worry-free daily driving.

What is the function of the secondary air pump in the Besturn B50?

The secondary air pump in the Besturn B50 serves to inject air into the exhaust manifold after a cold engine start, thereby reducing emissions. Below is a detailed introduction to the secondary air system: 1. Function: The secondary air system is one of the external purification devices designed to reduce tailpipe emissions. It introduces additional air into the exhaust gases to increase oxygen content, allowing unburned harmful substances like carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) to undergo further combustion under high-temperature conditions. 2. Working Principle: When the engine is running, the crankshaft drives the air pump via a belt, generating a high-volume, low-pressure airflow that passes through a hose to a diverter valve. Under normal conditions, the diverter valve opens, directing the airflow through a one-way valve into the air injection manifold. The air injection manifold then sprays the airflow into the engine's exhaust ports or exhaust manifold, where it reacts with HC and CO in the exhaust gases, converting them further into CO2 and water vapor to minimize exhaust pollution.

Why is the fuel tank indicator flashing?

Generally, this issue is caused by a faulty fuel level sender contact. It is recommended to replace the fuel level sender. Here is the relevant information: Fuel Gauge: Drivers can determine whether refueling is needed based on the fuel gauge's display of the remaining fuel in the tank. If refueling is required, the fuel gauge can also accurately display the amount of fuel added each time. The fuel gauge does more than just serve as a scale; it can also more precisely and advancedly display the car's fuel consumption per kilometer, the size of the car's fuel consumption, and whether fuel is being used efficiently. The fuel gauge will also alert the driver to the remaining fuel's range. Precautions: If the driver does not refuel in time, once the fuel storage falls below a certain value, the car's fuel gauge will activate a fuel warning function. In addition, the car's fuel gauge can even display the odometer and store real-time measurement data for three months for data management.

Why does the Mercedes-Benz auto start-stop always show a yellow light?

If the auto start-stop of a Mercedes-Benz always shows a yellow light, it indicates insufficient battery charge, and the battery needs to be recharged. Here are the specific details about the auto start-stop function: 1. Auto Start-Stop Button: The auto start-stop button is located to the left of the cigarette lighter, with an icon of a circle containing the letter 'A' and 'OFF' below. Simply press the button to turn off the auto start-stop. 2. Default Activation: The auto start-stop is activated by default. Every time the vehicle is restarted, the auto start-stop will turn on. This button cannot permanently disable the function; you need to press it each time you start the vehicle to turn off the auto start-stop. 3. Function Purpose: The engine auto start-stop automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. This helps reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy.

What Causes the Friction Sound When a Car Turns?

When a car turns, the squeaking sound from the tires is caused by the friction between the rubber and the ground, which is a normal phenomenon. This occurs because the car's inertia moves it forward while turning, resulting in the sound of resistance between the tires and the ground. Here are some related explanations: Normal Noise: When car tires come into contact with the ground, they produce varying levels of noise due to factors such as the type or unevenness of the road, the car's speed, the type of tires, and the tire's air pressure. Therefore, no matter how perfect a car is, it cannot completely eliminate the noise generated between the tires and the ground during driving. Other Causes of Tire Noise: If the sound is a rattling noise, it may indicate an issue with the CV joint (constant velocity joint), which requires replacement. If the sound is a metallic scraping noise, it could be due to the brake shield rubbing against the brake pad. In this case, you can use a screwdriver to adjust the shield slightly.

What is the normal tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz in kPa?

According to the requirements and regulations of the international standard GBT2978-2008, the tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz should be between 2.2-2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure for the vehicle. In summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is generally sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing a tire pressure fault, to reset the system. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset.

Should You Use Fog Lights or Hazard Lights in Heavy Rain?

Whether to use fog lights or hazard lights in rainy weather primarily depends on visibility. When visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights along with regular lights; when visibility drops below 100 meters, activate the hazard warning flashers (also known as hazard lights). Function of fog lights: Front fog lights are designed to improve illumination in unclear road conditions ahead, providing a high-intensity scattered light source that penetrates thick fog to alert oncoming drivers. Rear fog lights are installed at the rear of the vehicle to ensure visibility for other road users behind in low-visibility conditions such as fog, snow, or heavy rain, emitting a stronger light than tail lights. Function of hazard warning flashers: Hazard warning flashers serve as signal lights to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the vehicle is experiencing special circumstances. They should be activated in situations such as vehicle breakdowns on highways, high-speed driving, temporary parking on roads, towing a malfunctioning vehicle, encountering an emergency while driving, being involved in a traffic accident, or when performing special tasks.
