low idle rpm shake

Post by coratz »

seem that after my vibe has warmed up, the rpms hover between the 600-800rpm range. when im sitting at at a stoplight i can feel a shake/vibration in the steering wheel. i know are cars are 4 bangers and this might be normal, anyone else have a thing like this?

The last time my old 4 cylinder Nissan truck did that (idled slow and shook) it turned out to be a leaky head gasket and it was losing compression. I hope that' s not your case. I don't notice the same vibration at slow idle in my Vibe. If your car otherwise performs well, then maybe all it needs is the idle speed programmed a little higher. If it doesn't, complain to the dealer and have them look at it.KSNeptune
