Lately when I start my 2002 Chevy Malibu, it has trouble starting and/or clicking over when I turn my key. Also, there is a very rough vibration and mainly coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. The first time this happened almost felt like I was driving with a front passenger side flat tire. After a few seconds the car runs fine. Also a week before this started I was leaking antifreeze but I just had to tighten up the screw to the hose and stopped leaking in case this is a contributor o my problem.

If your service enginelight is on have th eenginescanned for codes. Check the fuel presure as it may be low. You could have a motor mount going bad for the vibration or a low tire. Have the coolant pressure checked to make sure you don' thave an inlet manifold or head gasket leaking as that may be hyour running rough as well.
