Car shakes when you start it, and when you drive it.

Hi,

A shaking can be the result of a few things. For example, an engine misfire, a vacuum leak, low or high fuel pressure, and so on.

Here is what I recommend. The vehicle's can-bus needs scanned to see if there are any modules that have codes. CAN stands for controller area network. This is how all the modules are tied together.

Here is a video showing how it's done:

If you want, check to see if you can locate any vacuum leaks on the engine. Here is a link that shows how it is done:

If not leaks are found, have the computer scanned as I mentioned. Let me know what codes are found so I can better help.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
