Im goin to f'in kill myself.
Ok, (long post)
I honestly dont know what to do, even the techs are sayin they dont know. Figured i would post up and see if any of you could think hard as to what is going on. Im STILL getting the vibrations and im clueless. This is so annoying. Ok here we go. I replaced ALL my motor mounts, did a full tune up, wires, plugs and oil change, PCV valve, balance belt, timing belt, still rough. The vibration isnt as bad in the car as it is absorbed by the new motor mounts, but its still way stronger than normal, also when in drive and the E-brake applyed so the car wont move, opening the hood to look at the engine, it surges back and fourth irraticly (sp?), again this is ONLY UNDER LOAD IN ANY GEAR (R,D,L,2,3) in which the vibrations occur, in nutral or park the car has no vibrations present. I know i have an old car and all and it will never run like new im not expecting this, but it shouldnt be this bad as to where the dash still shakes and blurs my vision in the rear view mirror and the radio screen from it shaking so much. As i recall when i first noticed it, it happened all at once, one time i came to a stop and it started vibrating bad.
I have an ALLDATA.com account, i could not find any TSB's or anything related, I have checked vac leaks to the best that i could but could not find anything. Here is the check list of what i have checked:
-TB gasket, did soap water test, and nothing
-TB for crackes, none found
-VAC hoese, couldnt find any, pulled em off and plugged with finger to feel for vac and did water test
-spark plugs, nothing changed
-wires, nothing changed
-motor mounts, lessened up in cabin but the engine movement up top is still the same
-PCV valve, nothing changed
-balance belt, nothing changed
-Timing belt, nothing changed
It seems to be only the head part of the motor shaking and vibrating, im not sure if that is because of the motor mounts holding the engine down tighter down lower, or if it is just related to the head of the engine? The vibration only occurs when under load, never in nutral or park. This is weird also...Sometimes when coming to a stop it vibrates worse than other times. Like today on my way to work i stopped at a light, the vibration seemed ALMOST non-existant, it seemed normal, little vibration but not noticeable to a normal person who is not farmilliar with the car, or passenger. Then at the next light i stopped and it was ok again! i was like awesome!, then the next stop of corse the vibrations are back again just as bad as before shaking everything. So wtf is that about?? I can only think to myself, "it has to be a vac leak because it does it randomly and in different intensitys" But i CANNOT find any leaks or probs! Any advice on how to better check for vac leaks please post or any other info, Thanks!!!
