I also noticed that when I'm in uphill, from full stop to go, the engine has a strong vibration.. I don't think it is normal.. I have replaced most of my engine support bushing.. Could the culprit also be the Ignition distributor? TIA
need more info on the car/ engine
It is a 2.0 4G63 sohc engine EFI. The ignition distributor is short. It vibrates more when A/C is on. Played a little with twisting the distributor for timing, I believe I got the right position. I had replaced the fuel pump, cleaned gas tank, replaced spark plugs.. No check engine light. Thank you for your response :)
the engine has balance shafts that rotate in opposite direction to smooth the vibrations. They rely on a separate belt which is behind the timing belt where the oil pump is. When that belt breaks, vibrations occur because the motor is no longer balanced.
About the distributor - it could have a weak coil or other components that may be failing. Best way is to replace it.
Thank you for your reply. I have a question though, I heard that there were two belts? The one that is longer which is the timing belt? so the shorter belt is for the balancer shaft? If yes, I was told by the mechanic that the small belt was still in good shape so he only replaced the longer one.

This might be the cause of the vibration, cheap quality pressure plate. What brand do you use?
Yes thats cool and all but theres a procedure to do the balance shaft belt and if not followed the shaft goes out of sync and vibrations occur.Quote:

Look into EXEDY clutch kit. They are very good for the money
