it wasn't mentoined because he said it happens at idle, so that would rule out the ujoints. but it's fairly common for these ujoints to go bad. always a good thing to be reminded of since they are easy to overlook.

 

joost - i thought you fixed your shaking, it was a turbo line or vacuum something? i can't remember, but hope you get it figured out.

 

you are right gary, I did solve the worst part of the stumble/shaking, it was a timing belt being off 3 tooths on 1 side, but it still has the same stumble, only 10% of what it used to be

 

and mentis, yes, you are right, joints like that can get a car shaking, but like gary said, it's also at idle and not speed related but rpm related.

 

I was working on installing a BOV today and I heard something odd, maybe it has something to do with my stumble; at idle, I can hear a slight burp or hickup coming from the intake, it's quite faint, so it's definately not a backfire, almost sounds like flapper valve or something shutting on occasion, not that there is any valve there :rolleyes:
