car shaking at idle ??

Featured Replies

any ideas as to why my 86 turbo shakes when idleing , but not at all times,.. the car ran well 3 wks ago, during this time it has been sitting without it being started..

Does it run well at higher speeds?

 

I've accidently bumped spark plug wires before, then wondered why it didn't want to start easily, and shook like crazy once it did start.

it runs great off idle...I will check the plug wires for proper connection

Ya, check the simple things like spark plug wires first....It happened to me before....do not run car with misfire for long, it may damage your catalyst converter....

I know on N/A motors, a vacuum leak comes to mind - check for anything that could allow unmetered air into the system.

Ok, i just got done changing disty cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and did a coil swap to the accel coil...

 

much better.. no more feeling like i have a stroker under the hood.
