Car's been shakin a lot while sitting at stop lights. Didn't use to do that when I first got it about a month and a half ago. Going to have it in shop in 2 weeks to get new axels and gears. Any suggestions that I can give my mechanic a heads up on?
-
Is it an auto or a manual?
Stock or modded?
Sounds like it could be:
Ignition missing or
Vaccuum related
Could be other things but I'd check these out first.LS15 Power! Another LSx engine coming soon.

it's automatic. Heavily modded. Check the link in my signature. I want to tell me mechanic what needs fixing rather than have him look around for himself.
I was thinkin it was the ignition coil but I have a blaster coil.Comment

How bout some more of a desription of the problem.
Does it do it under load?
Hot or cold engine?
Any loss in power?
Any smoke or popping?
Whens the last time a tune up was done? What was replaced?
Does it have a New Fuel Filter?
Does the engine sink to one side like a broken engine mount?
Anything else abnormal?
Just some common questions to help pointout where the problem could be.
Im thinking more on an ignition problem. but see if you have any of those conditions

I had a big tune up got plugs, serpantine belt, oil, fuel filter and brakes.
Has been sluggish lately but still fast as hell, just not what it used to be. If I really drop it and then take my foot of the gas it does make a loud pop from the exhaust. Doesn't matter what the engine temp, but I never let it go past 210F.
No engine problems that I know of. It does have 130000m though.
I'm going to have my mechanic look at:
Mounts
Valves
Headers
Ignition firing

I'm getting new differential and axels in 2 weeks so I'm going to have him look at this stuff.Comment
