Engine Shake Help

murdere92 · 07-23-2017, 02:31 AM

Hi Guys need some help, last night I was driving my car and no issue all was perfect. This morning I started up my car and as I put in reverse to go out my drive way the whole car was shaking and as I moved to drive the shaking continued and was making a rough noise as I was driving down my street, a few seconds in engine light came on !

has anyone had this or no what it might be ? any help would be so appreciated

Thank you

Probably an Cylinder Misfire. You'll have to get the code that activated the Check engine light to make sure.

When I had this happen, it ended up being a coil that went bad and had to be replaced. To diagnose it I had to check the misfire location, and then I swapped coils to see if it moved, and then bought the replacement.

It could be a plug, but my experience tends to be that plug diminish but never fail so completely like a coil.
