why is my car shaking????


Recommended Posts

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:
