still shaking

[smitdawg97030]

Just changed spark plugs, wires,cap and rotor, pvc valve and cleaned throtle body and my 93 V-6 XLE still shakes at idle ! I need good ideas before I go broke.

engine mounts?

[JetspeedCamry]

Correct idle speed? If not, check the IAC.

thanks for the tips, but it may be more serious. It's puting out some obnoxious exaust fumes too

Check the radiator for white/brown milky looking water = head gasket.

you probably need new engine mounts, my camry starts shaking abit. so im thinking of changing them within couple of weeks. hopefully it will stop the shaking...

I got a pretty bad shake at idle too but I changed my rear engine mount not too long ago. I though I might have a vacuum problem that made the engine misbehave at idle. My RPMs at idle is just at 750 (just what the Haynes Manual says it should be). Is there a way to check the mounts? I know a bad one will make the engine sit low or will allow to the engine to move all over the place when the engine shifts gears. My engine sits right and I cant see the engine when its shifting so what's to do? Dont whant to change a mount that doesn't need changing bcos they arent cheap you know.

if it is engine mount related . Your dog bone must be cracked. So change the Dog bone first to see if it improves somewhat. ( you can use a cheap ebay dog bone first)


If your Y pipe is gone ( leaky exhaust ) at the flex junction but is not totally breaking up yet
you migh also get a vibration. The cheaper fix will be to weld a flex pipe to it . This is confirmed by more vibration when the car is in drive than in park.

VAccum leak can also cause this.

See if you can borrow a vaccumm guage and adapt it to the pcv hose. For how to use the v guage to dignose the health of your engine you can search the web. The v guage can be as cheap as 15 dollars.

fuel injector cleaning- worth a try, and always a good idea anyway
