Why is my car slightly shaking when i stop
Your vehicle shaking when you stop is a warning sign.
Your car should always run smoothly, whether you are driving or stopped.
Often this shaking is first noticed in the steering wheel. If you notice that your engine starts to shake when you stop or drive at low speeds, it’s time to see a mechanic.
Two mechanics check the timing belt.
Here are 5 reasons why your car may be shaking and shuddering when you stop
Damaged engine mounts
Engine mounts hold the engine to the vehicle.
If the engine mounts are damaged or have become loose from the engine, this can cause your vehicle to shake. If the shaking decreases when the vehicle is placed in neutral, it may indicate that the engine mounts are damaged.
Improperly adjusted or worn belts.
An improperly adjusted or worn timing belt and other belts, as well as the serpentine belt, can cause engine vibration.
When belts are loose or worn, they can also cause other engine parts, such as fans, to malfunction, causing strange noises and shaking. These belts can easily be checked by a mechanic to make sure they are working properly.
Faulty fuel intake
A dirty or faulty fuel intake system can affect the smooth operation of your engine.
After many trips, your car’s fuel intake system can become clogged and begin to deliver uneven amounts of fuel to the engine. If the engine does not receive a steady supply of fuel, it will begin to shudder.
Spark plugs
Worn spark plugs are one of the most common causes of engine shuddering.
When spark plugs are fouled or worn, they cannot fire properly and produce the spark the engine needs to ignite the fuel. This causes the engine to misfire. Spark plugs are usually inexpensive to replace.
Loose or disconnected hoses
Loose hoses can cause many performance and vibration problems.
All cars have vacuum hoses that connect to various parts of the engine and help remove exhaust by-products, also known as exhaust gases. A leaking or broken hose can cause a significant increase in engine power. If the lines are disconnected or worn, many other engine problems can occur. These problems include: No ignition, loss of power, stalling and complete engine shutdown.
