The reason why the car shakes when the oxygen sensor is installed but not when it is unplugged is that the oxygen sensor is damaged. In this case, you need to go to a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the oxygen sensor. Here is the relevant introduction: Effects of a damaged front oxygen sensor on the car: Excessive exhaust emissions; deterioration of engine conditions; engine stalling at idle; inaccurate engine operation and reduced power; the engine computer cannot accurately judge the air-fuel mixture condition; affects the normal operation of the three-way catalytic converter. Function of the oxygen sensor: The automotive oxygen sensor is a key feedback sensor in the electronic fuel injection engine control system. It is a critical component for controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution, and improving the fuel combustion quality of the car engine. Oxygen sensors are installed on the engine exhaust pipe. Maintenance of the oxygen sensor: Check the working condition of the oxygen sensor every 30,000 kilometers. If it shows signs of aging or failure, clean or replace the oxygen sensor promptly.

Where Should Car Headrests Be Installed?

While driving, the position of the headrest is generally set parallel to the ears of the head, corresponding to the position of the back of the head. Additional information is as follows: The function of car headrests: Primarily designed to protect the fragile neck of the human body in the event of a rear-end collision (according to statistics from relevant departments, neck sprains are one of the most common injuries in car accidents), while also providing a cushioning effect for the head. Without a headrest, the strong impact caused by a collision would directly press on the fragile neck, potentially causing damage to the spine, severe cases may lead to paralysis, or even be life-threatening.

What are the symptoms of damaged valve stem seals?

Symptoms of damaged valve stem seals: 1. The engine burns oil, emitting blue smoke; 2. Severe carbon buildup on spark plugs, resulting in reduced engine power; 3. Decreased sealing leading to insufficient cylinder pressure and reduced engine power; 4. Accelerated oil consumption, which in severe cases can directly cause engine seizure due to lubrication and cooling failure. Causes of valve stem seal damage: 1. During assembly, misalignment of threads or splines can cause oil leakage due to poor sealing, also damaging the seal itself; 2. The tightness of the spring not meeting technical requirements—too tight can cause improper fit between the seal and the rotating shaft, leading to abnormal wear, while too loose can result in insufficient pressure to seal properly.
