Hi guys,

My buddy has an 00 MAX SE auto and the last couple of days his engine shakes a lot on start ups and at stops. But after it warms up it doesnt do it. But if you were to turn the car off and right back on, it would start doing it again.

I did a lot of searching before putting this post and am pretty sure its the MAF, but I figured I might post and make sure before spending the 85-100 bucks on it.

Thanks in advance guys.

no codes?

no CEL?

 

nope, no cel, is it a ghost code? do 00's even have ghost codes like the 4th gens?.......sorry I'm not very familiar with the 5th gens.

 

sounds like a misfire maybe ,..5th gens have CRAP coils and they are natorious for going bad,.... but MAF is also a good guess and more likly due to no codes,.. how many miles are on it ( i had same symptoms but i had a bad coil and bad MAF so im not sure)

 

could be, but maf symptoms would not go away one warmed up, no big problmem would go away once its warmed up, but u say if u turn it of n back on too? i donno, id clean the TB first.

 

Hi guys,
Thanks for the responses. Some more info.

Car has about 80-90k. TB cleaned over the summer about 7k or so ago. Time to clean again?

How can coils be checked?

 

any more info guys? Thanks again

 

Same way as your 4th gne.

sounds like the coils. mine started idling rough and driving rough sporadically. It wouldn't do it at any particular time. but It would eventually go back to normal and I would stop being pissed off. but of course it came back. anyway, its probably the coil.
