Why does the engine shake at idle but not during acceleration?
1 Answers
If a car shakes at idle but not during acceleration, it should be considered as unstable idle speed, which is one of the most common faults in the daily maintenance of electronically controlled engines. Here is an introduction to car idle speed: 1. Definition: When the engine is running without load, it is called idle speed. When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in an idle state. The engine speed during idle is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by changing the throttle opening size, among other methods. Generally, the optimal idle speed is the lowest speed at which the engine does not shake. 2. Function: Idle speed is designed to overcome the engine's own running resistance, maintain the minimum engine speed, and provide convenience for the driver in various driving conditions and temporary stops. For example, at traffic lights or in congested traffic areas, even if the time is short, temporarily turning off the engine can bring immediate energy-saving and emission-reduction effects.
