He Everyone,
I posted a thread a little while ago about my truck shaking when I come to a stop. Since then, I have had the spark plugs replaced, because the diagnosis from the dealership was a misfire in cylinders 3&8. They also did an injector flush, engine shampoo, oil change and new air filter. Prior to this, the fuel filter was changed.
The vehicle still shakes when stopped at a light and the RPM drops to about 500-600.
It is a very subtle shake, nothing violent at all. In fact, people who don’t normally drive my truck, don’t even notice it. But I do. And it is driving me crazy. It is to the point where I’m considering getting rid of it. I took it to shop that specializes in performance engines and turbos, on a recommendation from a friend, and they weren’t sure what the problem is. I think they were looking for something more intense, and couldn’t find it.
There are no codes when a computer is plugged in.
The engine almost sounds like a Diesel engine. I’m told it is because it it old with over 200,000 kilometres on it.
I had the shop look into the VCT Solenoids and the Timing Chain, but they said if that was the issue, there would definitely be codes.
Could it be an engine mount? Or would the shaking be worse? It only shakes at low RPM, once I hit the gas, it goes away.
I also had the muffler replaced. Any chance that could be the problem? There is still an exhaust leak at the manifold. But it has been leaking there for quite some time, a lot longer than the shake.
Any insight is GREATLY appreciated
Thank You
Taylor
