Why does the car jerk when releasing the clutch?

Car jerking when releasing the clutch is caused by a mismatch between the engine speed and the current vehicle speed, meaning there is a speed difference between the engine speed and the clutch disc speed. Reasons for jerking when releasing the clutch: Lifting the throttle too early, i.e., releasing the throttle before pressing the clutch during gear shifting, can cause a jerking sensation. Lifting the throttle too late, i.e., pressing the clutch without timely throttle release during gear shifting, can cause the car to accelerate momentarily during the semi-clutch phase, and a power disconnection after full separation can lead to jerking. Methods to prevent jerking: In most cases, the engine speed is lower than the clutch disc speed. After shifting into a new gear, when lifting the clutch to the semi-engaged position, ensuring the engine speed matches or slightly exceeds the clutch disc speed can effectively prevent jerking. Proper coordination between the throttle and clutch is crucial. The speed of releasing the clutch depends on the gear and speed, and the throttle should be adjusted accordingly. Slowly releasing the clutch while applying a bit of throttle can reduce jerking.

What is the difference between 30 and 40 engine oil?

The differences between 30 and 40 engine oil are: 1. 30 engine oil has better fluidity than 40; 2. 30 engine oil has poorer oil stability at high temperatures compared to 40. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication and anti-wear, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the oil drain plug after draining, and wipe and check for leaks with a paper towel; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the car, and add oil at the filler port.

What does it mean when the malfunction indicator light comes on?

The reasons for the malfunction indicator light coming on are: 1. Sensor issues: Sensors include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, and oxygen sensors; 2. Air intake problems: The engine requires air intake during combustion, and the air filter plays a crucial role in this process. If the car's air filter is dirty or not cleaned regularly, it can affect the engine's air intake; 3. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines can all lead to poor combustion of the engine's fuel mixture. Poor combustion can result in engine carbon buildup or knocking issues, which are detected by the engine's oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, triggering the malfunction light as a warning.

What is the China VI Emission Standard?

China VI emission standard refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. It is established to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The China VI emission standard specifies the following limits: 1. Carbon monoxide (CO) emission content: 700mg; 2. Non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emission content: 68mg; 3. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission content: 60mg; 4. Particulate matter (PM) emission content: 4.5mg. Methods to check if a vehicle complies with China VI standard include: 1. Vehicle environmental protection compliance label; 2. The page with the vehicle certification number; 3. Estimating the emission standard based on the vehicle's manufacturing year; 4. Querying at the local vehicle management office using the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate.
