vibration
So i have a vibration when i accelerate but only between 1500 and 2000 rpm,s that is when it is strong. Then i can fell a little vibration when i am driving. But if i let off the gas or if i keep it in neutral or park it is fine. What could it be?

Since nobody else has replied - I'll guess at some possible causes.
If the vibration is purely associated with the Engine's rpm:
-worn engine mount(s)?
-bad spark plug wires or distributor cap?
If the vibration is purely associated with the car in motion:
-low air pressure in tire(s)?
-Wheel bearing going bad?
-Bad tie-rod end?
-Bad ball-joint?
-thrown belt in tire?
-lost balancing weight from rim(s)?
-loose strut(s)?
Anyways...., those are just guesses, but better than nothing I suppose.

If you want to check if it's an engine mount(if it's that little rubber thing), have a friend help you with it. One of you look at the engine while the other does a couple quick revs. If a mount is gone, the engine will "jump around" pretty strongly.
(thats the only one I may be able to help with, I got an idle vibration
)
