The reasons for unstable idle, shaking, and stalling are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits. The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. 2. Ignition system issues. Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or weak spark plug firing can also lead to such symptoms. 3. Unstable fuel pressure. If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience shaking at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause the car to shake. 4. Aging engine components. Car shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts (also known as engine mounts). Engine mounts are essentially the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior, causing shaking at idle.

What is the difference between aftermarket headlights and OEM headlights?

The following are the differences between OEM and aftermarket headlights: 1. Sealing performance is different: The outer shell of OEM headlights maintains good sealing performance, while the outer shell of aftermarket headlights may degrade in sealing performance. 2. Price and quality are different: OEM headlights are relatively cheaper than aftermarket headlights, with slightly inferior materials, resulting in slightly lower quality. 3. Workmanship is different: OEM headlights for cars are printed with the car's logo, featuring fine workmanship without flaws or burrs, whereas aftermarket headlights have rough workmanship with burrs, rough edges, and unclear printing.

Why is the car air conditioning not heating up?

Reasons why the car air conditioning is not heating up: 1. The water pump impeller is damaged or slipping, resulting in insufficient flow through the small heater radiator, preventing heat from rising; 2. There is airlock in the engine cooling system, which causes poor circulation in the cooling system, leading to high water temperature and ineffective heating. The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. Air conditioning has become one of the indicators to measure whether a car is fully equipped. Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system.

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Cruze?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Cruze are as follows: 1. Tire inflation: If you notice that the vehicle's coasting distance is significantly reduced during driving, check whether the tire pressure meets the standard. Insufficient tire inflation will also increase fuel consumption. Solution: Inflate the tires properly in time. 2. Tire wear: Check the degree of tire wear. If the tires are severely worn, slipping will often occur, increasing fuel consumption. Solution: Replace the tires with new ones when necessary. 3. Wheel rotation: If abnormal noise is detected from the wheels during driving or starting, promptly check the bearings and braking system for faults. If the wheels do not rotate normally, it will affect the speed and increase fuel consumption.

What is the correct way to handle sudden loss of steering control in a car?

Correct handling methods for sudden loss of steering control in a car: 1. Fully release the accelerator pedal; 2. Do not immediately apply the brakes, instead brake slowly, especially when the speed is high; 3. Use engine braking to reduce speed, which means downshifting to slow down, not directly to first gear, but downshifting one gear at a time; 4. Quickly turn on the hazard warning lights; 5. After the speed has decreased, use the parking brake to slow down, applying the handbrake slowly and not too abruptly. Once the vehicle is under control, place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the car. Always drive safely, avoid fatigue driving, and remain calm in emergencies.
