Shakey ride

[JBatt87T]

Here's thread two of my "I don't know what the fuck is wrong with my car" series.

I got my car running recently and when I started it up it had a rough idle. I let it warm up a little bit and backed it up and it shakes while in reverse. It will also shake when it is in drive. I don't really know how to explain it but its just like it shakes back and forth, not too too violently but noticeable. Any ideas? It is also running fairly rich as well.

I've had this happen on another car but not a supra. Make sure the tranny mounting bolts and driveshaft bolts are tight. If they are loose or missing it causes everything to be out of balance and will have a shimmy as you drive.

i would check your timing cause if it's really of then the car will lope like a big block and shake the car

Thanks guys

I checked my timing and it is good, I also checked the tranny mounting bolts and the driveshaft bolts. Still shakey. It also has a slightly rough idle if that helps.

Spark Plugs and wires? Bad o2 sensor? Any codes?

That happend to me, I would check your plugs because you might not be running on all your cylinders.

 

[JBatt87T]

No codes. Would a bad O2 sensor do that? I'll check the wires but they are fairly new

Still having this problem. I am also running pretty lean. This all started when I took off the big turbo and put back on teh stocker. I am thinking it may be from an unsealed oil drain fitting at the block. Is that even possible for it to cause this?

I don;t have it with my supra, but I do with my winter beater ('96 mazda 626 cronos)

 

[JBatt87T]

yes...no....mabye so?

If you have lost compression in cyl's then it will shake too.
Looks like your soup dosnt like the stock turbo,put the big one back on
