'99 Sunfire Engine Shakes

I have a '99 Sunfire with a 2.4L that I just had rebuilt. Now the Engine shakes like crazy and I had new Engine mounts put in so I know its not that. Can someone please give me some advise to what the problem could be.

Re: '99 Sunfire Engine Shakes

what kind of shake? rattle? or violently shakes or what? i dunno the inner workings of the engine, but i have heard if the crank is improperly balanced it could cause that.

Re: '99 Sunfire Engine Shakes

im with Tuner here.. drop the pan and make sure everything's bolted in place and secure.. when the motor was rebuilt- did u have the crank milled at all? there are 3 mounts on that motor- are all in place and secure?

Re: '99 Sunfire Engine Shakes

could be a map sensor or uh..... ah shit i can't think of the other one at the moment. .... Idle Air sensor. Is your tach goin all over the place. Could also be a vaccum leak. I have this same problem right now. But i just priced out the parts and they weren't pretty. So i am going to use my warrenty... ha ha...
