Lately I have noticed that my acceleration isn't very good. Today on my way home from an aggrivating day at school I punched it to see and feel the ENTIRE front end of my car violently shaking left and right. Broken motor mount? Mucked up alignment? It doesnt do it when I'm coasting, only when I'm accelerating...

 

Motor/tranny mount is my guess.

 

Bucking like severe misfiring? Like bad coils? Had that happen to one of my cars once...felt like the motor mounts had all failed. Turned out to be my coils...

 

I am a with Maxima, however, I did get my hand dirty with a 92 Accord. Anyhow, I am so confidently sure that if it is vibrations during acceleration only, check your axle boots or CV joint boots. They most likely have a tear and you have dirt in there.

If not it's likely a motor mount problem but if your Maxima is not older 5 years old this should not be a problem. Maximas use a rubber and liquide mount...these should be reliable.

 

Maybe its a bad coil as mentioned earlier. I'm experiencing the same problem as of now. My car vibrates hard under acceleration but smoothes out at higher speeds, and of course when coming to an idle, it vibrates once more. Its a headache.

 

Hm...Komax I think you've got something there...

After my accident 2 months ago they replaced both CV joint boots, and the first replaced one they put on was bad, I have a feeling this one is going bad also...I'm taking the car back tomorrow they better not even think about bull$hitting me!

 

Ok I went back to the autobody and mechanic shop and for some reason I couldn't get the car to shake very much when I took the mechanic out for a ride. It shook a bit but not much. He thought it was maybe a fuel injector and unplugged one and had me drive around. It felt sort of like it is a fuel injector, only at low speeds my car doesnt shudder and shake, so I said maybe it was that. He gave me some fuel injector cleaner and I've been driving around with it for 3 days now with no luck. The car still shakes when I hit the gas at all, and will drive smooth the second I let off the gas. If it gets any worse, or I get any more tired with it, i'm taking my car to the shop, and telling them to check everything in the front suspension. I also figure if I give my dad enough headaches with this car, he'll start looking into another one...

Not to mention this friend of mine was leaning on my hood, and this girl leaned on him, and then got on top of him on my hood, i was a lil weary and when they got off, a f**king dent was left for me on the front of my hood just above the grille, not very deep but its at least 4 inches long...GRRRR
