car is vibrating at random times?

[greathuskie]

at random times mostly in 3-5th gear, my car just starts vibrating when i accelerate, but not all the time? what could it be????

Can you list the RPM ranges and what RPM's you tend to shift at.

Thanks

Many possibilities but engine/drivetrain mounts would be wise to check.

all i did was change teh starter, before i did that teh car was running fine (when it started that is)


it has nothing to do with RPMs i dont think because it was just at cruising RPMs, like 50 mph in any of the 3 gears it would do it, just normal RPMs not even racing or anything


its nto so much a vibrating but a stuttering when i hit the gas it makes a rediculous sound and doesnt really go anywhere

Check all vacuum lines for leaks, possible bad spark plug or wire, dirty air filter, fuel filter.

would that cause the car to buck like it is thouhg? its not like a mild shaking its a hardcore bam bam bam type thing ya know, so its gotta be something a bit more serious

I had a similar problem! I checked everything that I could think of! It ended up being a bent cv axel!

how much does that cost to replace

i just took out the battery and tray and the boot looks fine, doesnt seem torn at all? i dropped a 12mm socket in there yesterday and could never find out but i took the car out yesterday i hope that didnt do any damage

when mine messed up it wasnt a torn boot! Here's the way I figured it out!

I jacked up the car and cranked it up and put it in gear! One of the axels wiggled more than the other one so I took a chance and got it rebuilt!

You can get ur axel rebuilt anywhere from 60-80 bux!!!


good luck!

ok maybe its an electrical problem? someone suggested my car could be misfiring or something? when i start the car, it sounds like a normal starter x10

like i got the billy badass of all that is a starter, and its using all of its damn power to start my car

im starting to think its my coil pack because i dont recall building boost when it started shaking and vibrating like that?
