Vehicle jitter and jerking are caused by faulty spark plugs. Below are some relevant driving precautions:1. Strictly adhere to traffic regulations: According to traffic department statistics, over 80% of traffic accidents are caused by violations by one party. Traffic regulations are the lessons and experiences gained by 'predecessors'. Complying with traffic rules is the most important aspect among driving precautions for beginners, as it can minimize the probability of traffic accidents.2. Properly control the steering wheel while driving: The five most fundamental principles to master when driving are starting, stopping, turning, shifting gears, and braking.

When a vehicle experiences jerking, the most common cause is an imbalanced engine operation. The last time I encountered this issue, it was due to a misfire caused by aged spark plugs, as if one of the engine's cylinders was slacking off and not working. Additionally, leaking ignition coils can prevent the spark plugs from firing, and a dirty mass airflow sensor leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture ratios is also a common problem. If the shaking is particularly noticeable at idle, you can check whether the engine mounts are aged or broken—if this rubber component fails, engine vibrations will directly transmit into the cabin. Carbon buildup in the throttle body causing it to stick and not open or close smoothly can also result in sudden surges when accelerating. It's recommended to first read the trouble codes, as this will provide a clearer direction for troubleshooting.

Gearbox issues causing jerking significantly affect the driving experience. In automatic transmission vehicles, when the torque converter's lock-up clutch wears out, noticeable jerks occur during gear shifts. Dual-clutch transmissions may exhibit similar jerking to manual transmissions when the clutch plates overheat during low-speed follow-up driving due to partial engagement. Remember to check if the transmission fluid has deteriorated and turned black, as insufficient oil pressure can lead to mistimed gear shifts. For manual transmissions, it's often due to excessive wear of the clutch three-piece set, causing the car to jerk when releasing the clutch. The most typical case I've handled involves worn-out CV joints, producing clicking sounds and severe vibrations during acceleration while turning.

Abnormalities in the fuel system are particularly prone to causing acceleration hesitation. Clogged fuel injectors can lead to uneven fuel supply across the four cylinders, while insufficient pressure from the high-pressure fuel pump results in obvious fuel starvation during sudden acceleration. A fuel filter that hasn't been replaced for too long can cause poor fuel delivery, and an aging fuel pump often leads to erratic RPM fluctuations. It's recommended to observe the exhaust emissions during cold starts; if there's a strong gasoline smell or black smoke, it usually indicates misfiring due to incomplete combustion. Running a tank of fuel with additives on the highway can sometimes alleviate the issue.

Vibration caused by worn chassis components exhibits a clear speed correlation. When the vehicle reaches a specific speed range and the steering wheel starts shaking, there's an 80% chance the wheel hub is deformed and requires dynamic balancing. If you hear a clunking sound when going over speed bumps accompanied by left-right body sway, check if the lower control arm bushings are cracked. Excessive play in the steering ball joints will make the front wheels' trajectory erratic. The most concealed case I've encountered involved uneven brake discs - light braking made the car body bounce like on a trampoline. Tires worn into sawtooth patterns can also produce rhythmic vibrations around 80 km/h.

Why does the Buick Regal have poor resale value?

Here are the reasons why the Buick Regal has poor resale value: 1. Positioning and configuration: The Buick Regal's positioning and configuration are not advantageous compared to vehicles in the same class. Additionally, its heavy weight, high fuel consumption, and average comfort contribute to its low resale value. 2. Interior: The interior of Buick vehicles is not very refined, which is a common issue with American cars and one of the reasons why American cars have struggled to surpass German cars. 3. Transmission hesitation and shifting: American cars have long been criticized for their transmission hesitation and chaotic shifting logic. Although General Motors has invested significant effort in improving transmissions in recent years, the transmission issues in American cars are no longer as severe as they once were.

What is the situation with the Buick LaCrosse's automatic alarm?

Buick LaCrosse's automatic alarm may be triggered due to the following reasons: 1. Seatbelt not fastened: If the driver's seatbelt is not fastened, the alarm will sound while driving. The alarm will not trigger for the passenger seat. Fastening the seatbelt will deactivate the alarm. 2. Handbrake not released: If the handbrake is not released after the vehicle starts moving, the alarm will sound when the speed exceeds a certain limit. Releasing the handbrake will deactivate the alarm. 3. Headlights manually turned on: If the headlights are manually turned on and not turned off after the vehicle is turned off and the key is removed, the alarm will sound. Turning off the headlights will deactivate the alarm. 4. Vehicle not unlocked: If the vehicle is locked with the engine and door anti-theft systems activated, and someone enters the vehicle without unlocking it (e.g., using a mechanical key to open the door or if the door is pried open), the car's horn will sound an alarm. Inserting the key into the ignition switch will deactivate the alarm.

What gear is usually used when making a U-turn in a manual transmission car?

When making a wide-angle U-turn, you should use 3rd gear. For a tighter U-turn, downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear while slowing down. Here's a detailed introduction about car gears: 1. Automatic transmission gears: In general, automatic transmissions have P, R, N, D, 2, 1 or L gears. P (Parking) is used for parking, which mechanically locks the car's rotating parts to prevent movement. R (Reverse) is for reversing the vehicle. 2. Others: N (Neutral) means the power between the engine and transmission is disconnected when the lever is in "N" position. D (Drive) is the forward gear used for normal road driving.

What to Do When Renewing a Driver's License with Color Blindness?

If you are detected as color blind during the license renewal process, you will not be able to renew your driver's license normally. Here is a detailed introduction about the relationship between color blindness and driver's licenses: 1. Overview: Color blind individuals cannot obtain a driver's license. According to the decision of the Ministry of Public Security on amending the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the physical condition requirements for applicants specify no red-green color blindness. 2. Color Blindness: Congenital color vision deficiency is commonly referred to as color blindness, where individuals cannot distinguish various colors or a specific color in the natural spectrum; those with poor color discrimination ability are called color weak. 3. Others: The content and passing standards for the driver's license examination are unified nationwide. The examination is divided into three subjects and four tests: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and knowledge related to civilized driving.
