The car jerks when starting due to a damaged solenoid valve. Related introduction: 1. Introduction: The solenoid valve (Electromagnetic-valve) is an industrial device controlled by electromagnetism, serving as a fundamental automation component for fluid control. It functions as an actuator and is not limited to hydraulic or pneumatic systems. In industrial control systems, it adjusts the direction, flow rate, speed, and other parameters of the medium. 2. Expansion: Solenoid valves can be paired with different circuits to achieve the desired control, ensuring both precision and flexibility. There are various types of solenoid valves, each playing a role in different parts of the control system. The most commonly used types include check valves, safety valves, directional control valves, and speed regulating valves.

Speaking of jerky starts in small cars, it's quite common, and I've experienced it myself. The main reasons are worn clutch plates or oil that's too thin; replacing them makes a big difference. For automatic transmission cars, insufficient transmission fluid or a faulty control module can cause issues. Problems with the ignition system, like spark plug carbon buildup, can also lead to jerking. If the engine can't maintain the RPM, the car will jerk forward. It's advisable to first check the oil level and clutch at a repair shop; spending a few hundred bucks to fix it saves a lot of hassle. Delaying repairs can lead to a completely failed clutch, higher repair costs, and even affect the engine's lifespan. When driving, gently press the accelerator and avoid sudden acceleration to reduce wear. Regular oil changes and maintenance are good habits that I always stick to, ensuring the car runs smoothly.

I've also experienced jerky starts while driving, like the car was stalling. Improper coordination between the throttle and clutch is the most likely cause, which is common for beginners – I panicked at first too. In automatic transmission cars, old or low transmission fluid can make the jerking more noticeable. Faulty ignition coils or spark plugs can also cause shaking. My suggestion is to try checking the fluids first and see how the clutch pedal feels. For simpler fixes, you can replace parts yourself after spending some time learning. Don't delay on safety—jerking at intersections can easily lead to accidents. From my experience, it's best to take it to a professional repair shop for a quick fix. Don't skimp on regular maintenance either; changing the oil and cleaning components can prevent major issues. A smooth-running car really lifts your mood.
