Body vibration

Hi guys,

The problem with my car is when you you start the engine for a while for heating up no vibration at all. After I start moving and I push the gas pedal for speeding up, the overall body vibration shows itself well. And when I release my foot from gas pedal that vibration just vanishes, no matter what speed I drive at.
What is my problem?
I do think it might be fuel pump, or fuel filter issue?

Thank you

Hi,

Is the check engine light staying on? If not, does it seems as if the transmission could be slipping? Last, I'm questioning if you have a broken motor mount. Have you checked for that? If you replace it in reverse, do you feel the same vibration?

Let me know.

Joe

I need to see that. About three weeks ago I changed the front left side lower ball joint which was blamed (by the mechanic) to be the reason for some metal to metal friction noise.
And that noise gone but now I got that vibration.

Regarding driving in reverse, to see if the case is the same? I have not tried that yet.
I will try that out and get you informed.
Thank you.

Let me know. If it doesn't do it in reverse, open the hood, place the park brake on and place your foot firmly on the brakes. Place the vehicle in drive and gently press the accelerator to see if the engine is moving up and down more than it should on one side.

I ask you to try this because the engine will torque one way in drive and the opposite in reverse.

Let me know.
