Ok this is my first post and i apologize if this is covered in an older thread but i can't really find anything that looks like this problem. I have a 98 OBW that has been a fine car (with the exception of that $1500 head gasket i had done in Jan!). oh 115mi, AT
Most recently this problem has gotten a lot worse. It started out a few months ago doing this real slightly. On a real, real slow turn (<1500 rpm) the car shudders badly. It is worse for right turn than for left. It is not noticeble at all in reverse turn (like backing out of driveway). <is this some kind of hint?>
At first i was thinking all those things that had to do with engine performance etc. plugs, O2 sensor, Knock sensor (it got a code which is now gone), fuel filter. Figured for the cost of the parts I would rule out all those things and help the cars performance. Oil level ok, trans fluid ok, Power steering fluid ok.
Now it only does this when turning slowly. on a slow start straight ahead no shuddering.
Anyone with a similar experience or any ideas? its probably going to mechanic this week so i will provide an update.
