The most common reason for severe shaking after starting the car is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, which causes the engine's combustible mixture to fluctuate between lean and rich, resulting in idle shaking after a cold start. Below is relevant information: 1. There are many reasons for car shaking after starting, such as a dirty air filter, broken high-voltage wires, abnormal water temperature, clogged fuel injectors, carbon deposits, and oil sludge blockages, all of which can cause the car to shake. 2. Dirty air filter: The air filter is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear. It is generally replaced every 10,000 kilometers. If not replaced in time, insufficient air intake can cause low idle speed, leading to engine shaking. Simply replacing the filter can solve the problem. 3. Broken high-voltage wires: Broken high-voltage wires refer to the interruption of the wire core, which can affect ignition and cause engine shaking. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance and replace the one with significantly higher resistance.

What are the common specifications for hydraulic cylinder barrels?

Common specifications for hydraulic cylinder barrels include 32mm barrel diameter with 18mm rod diameter, 40mm barrel diameter with 20/22/25mm rod diameter, and 50mm barrel diameter with 25/28/32mm rod diameter. Below is more relevant information: Barrel material: Commonly used materials are 20#, 35#, and 45# seamless steel pipes, which undergo honing or rolling to achieve a surface roughness requirement within 0.4μm. Low-pressure cylinders can use 20# steel pipes, while high-pressure cylinders use 45# steel pipes. Piston rod material: Piston rods come in solid and hollow types. Hollow piston rods require ventilation holes at one end for welding and heat treatment purposes. Solid piston rods are made of 35# or 45# steel, while hollow ones use 35# or 45# seamless steel pipes. After rough machining, piston rods are tempered to achieve a hardness of 229~285HB, and when necessary, undergo high-frequency quenching to reach 45~55HRC hardness.

Can You Stop During Subject 2 Driving Test?

During the Subject 2 driving test for obtaining a driver's license, stopping midway is not allowed. According to the scoring criteria, stopping midway results in disqualification. Below are the relevant details: Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. Subject 2 Test Items: The test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Deduction Items: Not following the prescribed route sequence results in a 100-point deduction, not completely reversing into the garage results in a 100-point deduction, and the vehicle body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction.

Does a Full Fuel Tank Affect the Car?

Filling the fuel tank to the brim does have an impact on the car, mainly including increased risk of safety accidents, clogging of vent holes, damage to the carbon canister, and generation of odors. Relevant information is as follows: Unsafety: A full fuel tank is also relatively unsafe for the car itself. From the design of the fuel tank, it can be seen that when gasoline is filled to the maximum, it is almost overflowing. When driving over uneven road sections, it is inevitable that the fuel tank cap may not be properly closed, and fuel may slowly leak out. On normal roads, this may not have much impact, but in the event of encountering an open flame, it is very easy to cause a fire hazard. Secondly, filling the fuel tank too full can also create excessive internal pressure, leading to less smooth fuel supply. Clogging: Filling the fuel tank too full can block the vent holes, causing an imbalance in the internal pressure of the fuel tank, which in turn leads to malfunctions in the car's fuel supply system. If the fuel supply system malfunctions, the car may experience difficulties starting and abnormal shaking during acceleration.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Become Stiff on Rainy Days?

Car steering wheel becomes stiff on rainy days due to the following reasons: Power steering pump: If the steering wheel uses vacuum-assisted steering, the stiffness may be caused by a damaged power steering pump. Steering wheel: The steering wheel automatically locks. This situation does not occur every time the vehicle is started. Generally, after starting the car with the key, the steering wheel naturally unlocks. The automatic locking of the steering wheel is a simple anti-theft feature. Sometimes, when parking, the steering wheel is positioned at a certain angle, and this angle happens to allow only the key to turn for ignition without unlocking, resulting in this situation. Oil leakage: The steering wheel may suddenly become tight and almost impossible to turn. After turning off the engine and restarting, the issue may disappear automatically. This could be due to air not being completely purged from the system after an oil leak. If the pump operates for a long time without sufficient oil, it can lead to severe wear and reduce the performance of the steering system. As long as there is no wear, the fluid level is sufficient, and there is no air in the system, the steering system should function normally.

What are the effects of mixing gasoline on a car?

The effects of mixing gasoline on a car are as follows: Low-grade gasoline: If the vehicle is designed for low-grade gasoline, mixing in high-grade gasoline is acceptable, but long-term mixed use is not recommended. Wear: If the vehicle is designed for high-grade gasoline, long-term use of low-grade gasoline should be avoided as it increases the frequency of knocking and accelerates engine wear. The gasoline grade represents the octane number of the gasoline. For example, 92-grade gasoline consists of approximately 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties compared to n-heptane, higher-grade gasoline with higher octane numbers indicates better anti-knock performance.
