Reasons for slight shaking of the car's idle speed needle: leakage in the exhaust valve, loose throttle seal, abnormal spark plugs and cylinder pressure. This situation occurs when the engine is unstable in various operations, with single or multiple cylinder misfires. It is recommended to first check whether the spark plugs and throttle are working normally, and then proceed with cleaning. If high-power electrical equipment is used in the car during idle speed, turning it on or off will affect the engine's operation, causing unstable idle speed and slight shaking of the needle. The engine idle speed is not high to begin with. Using air conditioning, high-power audio systems, or external power supply will increase the burden on the engine and battery. At this time, the engine ECU will adjust the speed according to the situation to adapt to the high load.

Can alcohol be used for disinfection inside a car?

Alcohol can be used for disinfection inside a car, but it should be noted that alcohol is a flammable and explosive product. If alcohol is sprayed for disinfection, it should be wiped dry immediately and the car should be placed in a well-ventilated environment with the windows open. Alcohol should be sprayed on the surface of objects as much as possible, avoiding hidden or hard-to-reach areas inside the car. After disinfection, it is essential not to smoke inside the car or close the windows, as rising temperatures can reach the ignition point of alcohol, leading to potential explosions or fires. Additionally, if alcohol is used to wipe surfaces, it may cause damage to genuine leather seats. To achieve effective disinfection and sterilization, car owners should use medical alcohol with a concentration of 75%. Lower concentrations of alcohol will not provide the desired disinfecting effect.

How to Replace the Front Fork Oil Seal on a Motorcycle?

Method for replacing the front fork oil seal on a motorcycle: 1. Remove the dust cover and use a screwdriver to pry off the retaining ring; 2. Carefully observe the small groove mark on the oil seal—the groove should face upwards. Install the new oil seal in this orientation; 3. Reinstall the retaining ring and then the dust boot. First, fit the dust boot onto the outer tube, then insert the inner tube. The oil seal is a conventional term for sealing components, specifically for sealing lubricating oil. It is a mechanical element used to contain grease, isolating the lubricated parts of the transmission components from the output parts, preventing oil leakage. Oil seals are lightweight and require minimal material. Each oil seal consists of a thin-walled metal component combined with a rubber part, using minimal material, thus making each oil seal very light in weight.
