My Car shakes, Why?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
Cylinder is missing. (Put an index card lightly against the tail pipe. If it blows away from the tail pipe, your engine is not missing. If it occasionally gets sucked up against the tailpipe, it indicates one of the cylinders is missing.

Possible broken motor mount. This is where the engine sits on a rubber support which is mounted to the frame of the car.

If it's just a minor shake, like a buzz that wasn't there before your friend screwed around, you might have a broken engine mount or transmission mount. These include little rubber cushions that typically isolate that vibration, but if they're broken the vibration can translate into the car's cabin as a buzz/rattle/groan noise.

If the car shakes while you are braking , it is likely the rotors are warped. If it is after the car has stopped already, then it is something else.

P.S. you need a new friend

Check your spark plug wires make sure there not touching your engine

Carb. or injectors? The carb. may need tuning a little.

OK my car is exactly 102200 miles. Knowing I need new brakes and rotors. But thing that has started now is that when I'm in break (in stop like at a light etc.) the car starts to shake. I can feel it more in the driver's seat. Also it kind started after my friend was being stupid and put the car in park while I was driving, but only for a few seconds. Some people say it maybe the transmission like a loose gear or damaged gear, but I'm not sure. What is causing the shaking and what might be the cost of it???? Please let me know
