Vibrating just remembered somthing

ok, new stuff when it vibrates and i put it in neutral, while throttle is still on vibration goes away. when vibrstion is happeneing and i put it in neutral, aand let off gas pedal vibration goes away. It is the worst when at or a little below 2000 RPM, but not while in park. So.... iunno. When car is sitting still and its at that rpm its cool, but while driving i hate it.


Another thing. When i got near my house i did goto a gas staion ansd they were out of Premium or medium grade. So i ended up putting $10($1.65 a gallon) on a completely empty tank of 87 octane. could this be my problem?




Thanks guys.

Doubtful that gas is causing vibration. Jack the car and drop the trans inspection shield, check the torque converter bolts, they may have loosened up.

hmmm seems there wer e few vacuum lines connected the the diverter valve. dont remmeber them, but i'll check did a massive search on everything possible andit seems to be the problem.

oh and one thing i noticed. I remmebr my stepdad removing the darn oil cap from the vlave cover one time and the idle going really choppy, now when i do it, it almost doesn't change, i think there is a massive vacuum leak guys. Would this make more sence now becuasr that cap isn't doing anything?

Check all your vacuum lines, follow all the lines that go from your intake to something else. Block off all the lines that go no where. Take a look at everything you did and fix the leaks that you caused.

Next time think before just disconnecting and getting rid of stuff. Ask yourself: Hmm what does this do? Where does it go? How does it work? If you can't answer these questions don't touch it and leave it alone.

And again please fix your sig its ****ing a page long, thanks. Please do it you are very annoying.

lol, fine sig will be changed soon, but...


i had the electircal connections out and eveything, just pretty much yanked on the diverter valve and it came out and then pulled the pump out as well, there din'tseem to be anything connected otherwise.


I'm almost sure it has to be something rotational tho.
i mean it only happens in drive but in park and nuetral its a little less. Actually park and neutral are the same so hmmmmm it cant be the torque converter. or the flexplate.

It has to be the load put on the drive train. hmmmm.....

thninking thinking thinking. i have no clue. It seems to be coming more from the center console to the rear of the motor as of the last time i drove it. but that may only be becuase thats where the engine pivots.

But.... whats about electronic timing advance plug? could it be the problem? causing a massive vibration? becuase i'm almost sure its driveline related not smog system or vacuum.

How many threads do you start a day? Last night you were told to put everything back on that you took off, and you still havent done it. I do see you found the time to make another thread though. C'mon shane, do what you need to do.

I believe that's why shop lights were invented. Quit making excuses, get off your *** and attempt to fix your car without ****ing it up.

Why did you start another thread for this? People are going to stop helping you out eventually.

Maybe you should reread what I wrote here Shane before you send me harassing pm's. Any more and I will copy them and send them to admin. Please stop...

umm what exactly do you mean by thats where the engine pivots???

maybe i missed something here but the v8 's ive worked on in the past which have been many dont pivot ...

did you ever put all the crap back on that you took off before this started happening ?

thats where i would start first

take the advise thats been given and use it to fix your car and quit asking the same question over and over as stated above people are going to stop replying to your new thread a day postings because they will get tired of reading and haveing to tell you to do the same thing over and over again

now go fix your car and stay off the computer until its fixed

and for goodness sakes dont post a new thread about your car untill its fixed or blown up !!!!!

A little hint here Shane; it only happens in drive, not bad in park or neutral, seems to come from under center console.
What component is located under the center console? What problem were you posting about on the board around two weeks ago, something about the transmission wasn't it?
