Hi,

should a engine shake or not during normal idle,

because my engine shake when i rev the engine,

what can be the cause of it?

 

it really shouldnt shake. did you experience a power loss , maybe its a misfiring cylinder. whens the last time you did a tune up?? start with new plug wires , plugs , cap , rotor, etc..

 

engine shake during idle cant be healthy. then again, it depends on your definition of shaking. slight vibration is normal, especially for a 14 year old engine.

quick revving will cause the engine to jump, or shift, if thats what you are referring to.

walka

 

Hi,

yes i did experience a power loss, how can i tell which cylinder is misfiring?

i have to mash the pedal in order to get the car going,

i think i have the original wires in my car,

i don't know about the spark plugs they might be original to,

the cap could be original to,

Man, if everything is original, that means they are 14 years old! Change your cap, wires and plugs yesterday! I would also suggest checking your air and fuel filters and changing them if needed. if everything is indeed original, the difference will be like night and day.

 

Hi,

i already change my fuel filter and air filter,

the only thing's i haven't change yet is the spark plugs and the wires and the cap,

 

Also check your motor mounts. They could be bad if they are original, and bad ones would amplify any vibration that you already had. Non-firing injectors can also cause a cylinder not to fire, which would add to your problem.

 

I have the similar problem, but it shakes when on D and R

 

great grave dig, how old is the tune-up, check the mounts, more info.

 

It's your mounts, no need to search much further than that

 

Yah Mine shakes at times. I know its a bad injector, but I dread doing an injector job, because I never did it before.
