Weird Vibration - Help
Ok....this might be a little hard to describe but here it goes.......
I have a 2001 V6 - Automatic and when driving at lower speeds (less than 40mph) I get a jerking feeling like the car wants to shut off - very slight jerking. When i give it gas it stops. I have noticed it more when I run 89 octane and less when running 93 octane fuel. My first thought is maybe dirty or clogged fuel injectors. Any other ideas? |
Does it happen when cruising, at full throttle, or at slight throttle?
Sounds like it could be a missfire problem. |
When Cruising
I does not do it all the time. |
it might be your car telling u it wants to be manual and not automatic

Sounds like a "going bad" coil pack which is giving you a missfire. Does it feel like a hesitation? Could also be a bad knock or ping, but sounds more like a miss. The problem will get worse if it is a coil pack.

plugs were replaced approx. 4-6 mos. ago. they were replaced with motorcraft plugs. its almost like its skipping when its at about 2-3000 rpms. not necessarily a certain speed. the check engine light has been on since i bought the car and the code said it was the EGR valve so i had it replaced. the light went off and came back on so im going to have it checked and see what its saying now.
