car vibrating plz HELP

hello all i was wondering if you guys could help me out. When my car is in drive and the brake is applied there is a lot of vibrating that you can feel throughout the car, it is most often relieved by shifting it into neutral, Not sure if it could be my brakes? pvc valve(since it has never been changed)? timing issue? or i started using mobile 1 synthetic about 3ooo miles ago. I am not really intuned with auto stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated.



thank

Re: car vibrating plz HELP

That would be a dirty Throttle Body. Your car vibrates when you stop at a light right? I have the same thing. I am working on getting my courage up to clean the TB myself based on instrictions on www.motorvate.ca Dealer already replaced IACV without results and wants $125 to TB and injector cleaning.

One of these carolina Spring days, I am just gonna do it. I have an intermittent problem though. Only once in a while the car vibrates.

Clean your TB ASAP, onve u get teh courage to do it you will see how stupid easy it is. Once i finally saif **** it and took off the screws and hoses and removed the MAF, I cleaned my TB and everything went back in a easily. Car idles much better and starts much quieter.
