Idle vibration after replacing a new spark plug may be caused by damaged or broken cylinder wires during the replacement process, leading to abnormal ignition. Alternatively, it could be due to installing spark plugs of a different model. If the issue is confirmed to be related to the spark plug, simply replacing it with the correct model can resolve the problem. Below are some relevant details: 1. A car operates by relying on the engine, and the smooth running of the engine depends on the continuous sparking of the spark plugs. Spark plugs are wear-and-tear components that naturally degrade over time, requiring replacement. 2. As a consumable part, spark plugs experience gradual wear on their positive and negative electrodes with prolonged use, leading to an increased ignition gap. However, this change is gradual and affects other related parameters as they adjust accordingly. Therefore, when a vehicle's spark plugs are significantly worn, the ignition gap also increases. For example, if the original gap was 0.8 and it increases to 1.1 before replacement, the excessive difference and rapid change can cause engine damage if not properly recalibrated.

Why Does the Car Shake Violently During Emergency Braking?

The reasons for severe shaking during emergency braking are as follows: During high-speed braking, when the brake disc is constrained by the brake caliper, an uneven brake disc surface can cause vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the vehicle body and steering wheel through the tie rods and suspension, resulting in body shaking and unstable steering. The harmful effects of emergency braking on the car are as follows: 1. Emergency braking damages the brake pads and significantly impacts the braking system. It also accelerates tire wear, reducing the tire's lifespan. 2. Emergency braking suddenly increases the vehicle's load, placing additional strain on the engine and transmission, which can harm these systems. 3. It reduces the lifespan of the clutch system. 4. It increases fuel consumption.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the MG 5?

The 2021 MG 5 comes in 11 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The vehicle is equipped with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual transmission, an 8-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The vehicle adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. In the same class, the 2021 Ford Escort has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the 2022 Chevrolet Cavalier has a 36-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.

Additional Information: The high-mount stop lamp is generally installed on the upper part of the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for vehicles behind to notice when the front vehicle is braking, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. It is also known as the third brake light, high-mounted brake light, or third stop lamp.
