Why is my vehicle vibrating so much?

Hi,

When it is in park, it should be the same as neutral. I just need to confirm there is a vibration in park. Also, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? If it is, then we likely have a misfire or other engine issue causing a rough idle.

When you drive the vehicle, is the vibration noticeable when the engine is under a load?

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

This can be caused by a few different things. First, it may need a tune-up. Also, things like engine vacuum leaks, fuel pressure-related issues, or even engine compression (239,000 miles) can cause it.

The easiest things to check for are vacuum leaks.

Here is a link that explains how to locate and repair one:

The other things will require a bit more time to check. So, what I suggest is to have the computer scanned for diagnostic trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it free of charge. I would recommend that regardless of what is found as far as vacuum leaks. That way, if there is a code, we will have a better understanding of the possible cause.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
