WEll i have noticed when i rev my engine it kind of tilts to the back and shakes...is it normal?.....(i made a video i would put it in if i knew how)

It is normal for the engine to rotate to the back some. as for a vibration if it is a four cylinder then yes it is normal to get vibrations also. it is an inherrent problem with four cylinder engines because of their design.

so there is nothing rong? because it seems to be vibrating more than normal. It was even enoph to make the camra fall off of the radiator.

if you are worried bring it in to see if your engine mounts are still good or not. excessive engine movement/rocking and vibration while idle is typically caused by cracked/broken engine mounts.

lol engine mounts.

check the mount by the timing belt...the one that connects to the strut tower, if the rubber bushings in that look a bit worn or torn theres a chance the the front or rear mounts are gone too.

there is no timeing belt in the 2AZ-FE, where would the timeing chain be located?

im pretty sure hes talking about the dog bone shaped mount that is connected to the right passenger strut tower area.

ok ill have to take a look at it

and how can they have gon bad so quickly? i have only had the car a year and 2 weeks. (braught it new)

terrastrife · 03-28-2006, 09:23 AM

because mounts are made of rubber...rubber deteriorates.... even worse when someone does and oil change and spill oil on it then leaves it =)

Cyorke · 03-28-2006, 09:48 AM

yeah if the car is taht new take it back to the dealer and have them take a look at it . It is still under warranty as long as it is not more than 36k miles on it. Just tell them it seems to be vibrating more than usual and they will take a look at it

BlackCamSe · 03-28-2006, 10:44 AM

ok i only have 12,286 miles on it. I just got an oil change (i do it every 3000 miles). So maby next oilchange ill have them look at it? or is it kinda risky to wate for another 3000 miles.....

Cyorke · 03-28-2006, 10:55 AM

shouldnt hurt anything but if it seems to get wors then I wold go as soon as you can
300 miles probably isnt going to do much to it

terrastrife · 03-28-2006, 10:59 AM

my front and rear mounts have been busted the last 20-25k miles...

lol ok then i will wate and see if they get any worse....or if this is all just in my head

BigChrisP · 03-28-2006, 11:42 AM

my I4 used to do that... i first changed that dog bone mount but it kept doin it.. then the guys here told me to check and replace my spark splugs and sure-nuff, oil was on the causeing the engine to vibrate and have sluggish acceleration.... now my only problem is when i put it in *drive* it waits, does a hard jerk, then drives
