June 20, 200619 yr Author I was going to say it kinda sounds like it is not firing on one cylinder.. or firing out of order. It could also be a radiator fan going south.. I have had radiator fans that shook the living hell out my cars. If you would like me to take a look at it and see if we can narrow it down a little bit, I don't mind. ( elijafir@cox.net ) -Eli- That would be great. Can you PM me with some details?
June 20, 200619 yr Author What work has been done on the car in the last 6 months? nipper It has gotten A FULL tune up, oil change. Belts, hoses, spark plugs and wires, new ignition switch, air filter, fuel filter. Might be something Im missing.
June 20, 200619 yr It has gotten A FULL tune up, oil change. Belts, hoses, spark plugs and wires, new ignition switch, air filter, fuel filter. Might be something Im missing. how about a timing belt. If the timing belt has never been touched you can probably rule out the loose main/crank pully. Start the car and look at all the belts, they should all track staright and no wobbel. nipper
June 20, 200619 yr Yes, I knew I was forgetting something.... The belts are fine cool so we can rule out the pully being loose. I'll wait till you roatate the tires to add my 2 cents nipper
June 20, 200619 yr Author I'm learning how to do that either this week or next week in school. I want to do it myself, so we'll see:)
June 21, 200619 yr I'm learning how to do that either this week or next week in school. I want to do it myself, so we'll see:) The possabilities are broken belts, cupped tires, or lost wheel weights. Others are bent rims and dented rims. nipper
June 24, 200619 yr Author Ah, ok, so I took it to a pro. Got a rotation, balancing, and alignment (partial). I say partial because the camber is pretty screwed up from my little run off the road incident. Something needs to be fixed in there. I don't have the money, so I told them I'd worry about that when I get new tires. But with the B & R and fixing the toe, it's is sooo much better to drive. Not perfect, but tolerable now.
