Vibrating Car (not Engine Seating) by edoyad(m): 5:30pm On Jun 11, 2015
Hi house. We stumbled on a deal recently where we got a toyota solara , 2006 quite cheaply. The looked good and appeared to have no problems except the vibration we noticed when the.car is revved.
At first we thought the vibration was being caused by may be the exhaust pipes being out of place or a bad engine seating, but after careful examination it appears they're not.
The engine appears sound but one mechanic is saying the only way to get rid of that vibration is if we change that engine. The problem is that changing the engine would make a sweet deal turn, may be not sour but not too sweet.

Poor performance of d engine can also makes d engine to vibrate.U can service d fuel line.

Get a well grounded mechanic to do a comprehensive manual check and also run a full diagnosis of the car before making any conclusions. Its cheaper that way. Good luck

Possible misfire.

It could be the transmission.

So does it vibrate when moving or when idle?
If when idle it may require slight adjustment of trottle cable or fault plugs but when moving, thats something.

I had a similar challenge wit my carina e 4A FE ENGINE. Mechanic observed that d plugs were bad, the injector needed servicing and fuel was not entering d nozzles well. After serving the entire injection system and changing d plugs, d vibration stoppped. Perhaps u may consider checking these systems in ur Solara engine

Thanks all, the mechanic noticed a couple of stuff he's currently. So much more better now.

Please update the house on what the mechanic observed and steps he has taken to correct them

Adjuster and timing belt. He's still working on the car though, if he changes any other thing

timing belt and tensioner? ...fingers crossed sha.

Those two things you mentioned wld make your engine vibrate in rare cases. Most times it wld make ur engine not rev or not run at all.

In fact that was part of the problem, the car was finding it hard going up hill in addition to the vibration. But after he changed it the car leapt forward like a cheetah at first test grin . Now he's going to look into the vibration which actually did lessen after the work.
Unfortunately he's busy with other jobs at hand so I have to wait for him to finish with those. Like I said earlier, we got the car on the cheap and I was even considering changing the Engine if need be. Someone told me an engine from Lag would cost about 180K and I was thinking about it but the belt and tensioner change have turned me to a believer in the old engine.

Yes misfire issues are the most likely cause.. Timing belt imperfections can create bad firing sequence which can make vibrations.. Also the spark plug side of the firing can make vibrations if bad... The fuel delivery or injection may cause some irregularity but not the kind of vibration that timing and spark firing would cause.
Good to hear the issues are getting taken care of..

I just solved my Nissan Serena vibration issue. All mechanics confirmed the engine was well seated. It only vibrates on motion and noticed when you go slowly. What caused it? Just the propeller.
