Hey guy i got a 95 maxima and it shaking alot when i accelerate i dont know why its only when i hit the gas to go faster

please help so i know what to fix or check

thanks

 

If it shakes/vibrates only when you accelerate I would check your coils, spark plugs, fuel filter, etc. Is it displaying any MIL codes?

 

ONLY when you're accelerating? NOT when you're coasting, etc?

 

naa just when i accelerate when im coasting its make a noise but no shaking and i do have the check engine on but i havnt got it check ... a friend said it probably my wheel bearing??

 

Have you checked your motor mounts?

 

what would i look for when i check the mounts??

 

Check your codes how to check the codes what they mean. There may be one for a misfire, which would point you in the right direction. Usually with a misfire though (or at least in my case) it was quite noticeable at low speeds/rpms and went away at higher speeds/rpms.

 

See if the rubber is rotted between the mount and the engine or if the bolts look out of place at all like they stick out. It should all be flush. I don't know how many mounts there are but you should easily be able to check on google how many there are and where they are located.

 

thank you guys alot i will be checking all of this tomorrow

 

rookies helpin rookies, there are 4 mounts. crossmember, passenger side, radiator, ( in front, lower middle ) and a trans mount. drivers side left. and, what makes you think a acceleration problem has to do with a mount? get the codes checked and find out what they are. dont throw money at the car, she'll gobble it up like a ho and be a money ****. trust me, 1 thing at a time, could be a maf problem or a simple throttle body cleaning. check back in when you get code"s.

 

When I had my caddy, and the mounts were no good, that is exactly what used to happen the car would shake violently only during acceleration. I am not saying that is definatly what it is...just something to check.

 

thanks ....its does shake violently ima check everyone opinions tomorrow

 

see whats throwing that check engine lite and im sure you will find what youre looking for

 

if it's not the motor mounts, it's one of you senors. get them checked out.

 

lol, whats a senor??? do i even want to know???

 

Sensor*

 

is the shaking/vibration felt through the steering wheel? could also be a bad axle.

 

If you don't find faults in the ecm for missfires you may want to check the inner cv joints. A failing inner cv joint can cause a vibration when acclerating

 

If it's the cv joints it would make a clicking sound when you turn the wheel wouldn't it? I don't think that's what it is.

 

hey i have a problem with my mxima it dont let me go past 2,000rpm anyone know what it chould be??????

 

maf sensor

 

to the op check ur passenger side cv axle mine went bad and it shook like hell when i hit the gas

 

wrong they can go bad without any clicking

 

Indeed, a bad axle (joint, really) can cause numerous seemingly unrelated noises/feelings, a hell of a vibration on accel being one of them. There may not be any visible sign of an issue with the axle, which can lead to a hard diagnosis.

The clicking generally only occurs when the outer boot has been torn, the grease has all been slung out, and the joint has been severely worn from both metal on metal contact, and road grime/debris being introduced through the broken boot.

 

I would think that there would be vibration when coasting too. Maybe it depends on the severity and stage of axle failure?

 

no vibration when i coasted only when i was on the gas

 

wait wait wait, before any of that... when you accelerate, are YOU shaking the steering wheel violently? :/

 

my drivers side cv boot has been ripped open and mostly dry for about 2 years. i've driven cars with both boots torn open and never fixed them and they pass inspection as well. not saying you should'nt repair, but unless its making noise, i would'bt worry too much.

 

Shaking the steering wheel violently?? On purpose?? Is this even possible?? I mean why would he do such thing and then say that he is feeling vibration?

 

OH EL OH

 

it was a bad pass axle!! ugh
