Corolla jerking and shaking is a normal phenomenon. The following are the reasons for car shaking: 1. Dirty throttle or excessive carbon deposits on the fuel injector: After the car starts, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits will be sucked into the cylinder by the engine's vacuum suction for combustion, which enriches the air-fuel mixture. The combustible mixture in the engine becomes alternately lean and rich, causing idle shaking after a cold start. Solution: Clean the fuel system and check if the idle control valve has carbon deposits that need cleaning. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing can also cause such symptoms. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor for normal operation. If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor values are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can cause the car body to shake.

What Causes Reduced Airflow from the AC at High Speeds?

Here are the specific reasons for reduced airflow from the AC at high speeds: 1. Insufficient refrigerant: The AC lacks refrigerant. Unless the vehicle has been involved in a severe rear-end collision or had its AC piping or related components disassembled, which affects sealing, the refrigerant should not deplete. 2. Dirty condenser: The radiator and condenser are crucial cooling components of the vehicle. If they are too dirty, it can lead to poor heat dissipation, not only causing engine overheating but also directly affecting the AC's cooling performance. Therefore, if the AC's performance is unsatisfactory during hot weather, consider whether the vehicle's cooling system needs cleaning. 3. Worn or loose compressor belt: Typically, the 4S shop will remind you to replace the compressor belt during maintenance. Failing to replace it on time can result in slipping during use, leading to belt breakage, unusual noises, and loss of power assistance.

What does EVP mean in cars?

EVP in cars stands for Electric Vacuum Pump. Here are the specific details about the electric vacuum pump: 1. Function: The electric vacuum pump can monitor changes in vacuum within the turbocharger via a vacuum sensor, ensuring sufficient boost performance under various driving conditions. 2. Usage: It is typically used in electric vehicles, turbocharged gasoline engines, and diesel engines. When used in diesel engines, it can replace traditional mechanical vacuum pumps to save energy. Inside the vacuum pump, an electric motor serves as the power source, capturing air and sweeping it through the pump, creating a partial vacuum behind it.

Is an average fuel consumption of 16 considered high?

An average fuel consumption of 16 liters is considered high. Here are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Gentle acceleration: The initial acceleration phase at low speeds is the peak fuel consumption period, so gently pressing the throttle during startup and avoiding excessively high RPM can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. Avoid high RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPM, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Changing engine oil and removing carbon deposits. 4. Avoid sudden braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only enhances driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to coast.

Will running the car air conditioner drain the battery?

Running the air conditioner while the car is idling will drain the battery. Here are the specific drawbacks of using the air conditioner during idle: 1. Fuel consumption: Keeping the air conditioner on while parked and idling consumes a significant amount of fuel because the compressor relies on the engine running at idle speed. This can lead to incomplete combustion of gasoline, which easily causes carbon buildup. 2. Toxic emissions: Incompletely burned gasoline produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car windows and doors remain closed for an extended period, these exhaust gases can enter the sealed cabin. Accumulating to a certain level can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Idling with the air conditioner on emits more harmful exhaust gases compared to driving with the air conditioner on. The idle condition releases relatively higher amounts of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.
