Engine Shakes

I just noticed that my engine shakes when I turn off my car. :mad: Right after I turn the key you will hear it shake from the driver seat :uhoh: Motor mounts maybe?? I really have no idea! :crying:

Thanks guys o and gal :p

EDIT>>> I just had someone else turn the car off and it it is the engine that is shaking and it looks pretty bad to me

like a diesel kind of thing? you know like when you turn the key off and it still sputters?

do eclipse have an engine brake to slow down the engine when you turn it off?

Not sure what you mean by the diesel sputtering but it shakes and it is does not sound right. It really sound likes something is wrong.

Is the RPM high when you turn the car off, cause when i get that damn BS idle surge mine shakes when i turn it off

Nope its around 900, 1k max.. but that is my usual idle

that seems kinda high for an idle... mine warm is like 300-500 [different gauges and 1/4 inch off will make a 200 rpm diff!] but it is a turbo too and i dunno about the 420a idle speeds...

My 2g N/T idles at about 600-800

its most likely your gas... you probably go some shitty gas in your car causing it to combust under the heat of the chamber! run some higher octane thru there and it should solve that problem...

as for 1stgenrocks question... no they do not have an engine brake! the only motors that have engine brakes are Semi's and big trucks cause they use them to slow the truck down instead of wearing out the brakes really quick! thats the weird noise you hear when a semi is slowing down, its called a Jake Brake!

Yea I think the idle is high but it has been like that since I bought it so I don't think it is related.

I used 92 octane in my car last time and that is what is in there right now. How could the gas cause the engine to shake.

Also I started to notice that when I take a right turn it makes shaking/rattling noise from the engine. This is scaring me :(

LOL.. you seem to have the worst luck with your eclipse ashah :cwm27: :iceslolan

you're the only one i know so far with an eclipse tha'ts been through hell

i feel your pain :puke: :nutkick:

lol it's sad but true.
Yea anyone want to come to my house and steal my car and blow it up. Anyone.. :D

ya.. anyone?..... it wont' take much :D

just run down there hotwire it and drive it around the block it'll blow up :biggrin: lol jk and whoever replyed about the engine brake that not exactly what i meant but whatever i dont know how to describe what the hell im thinking of

basically an engine brake is a cover that when you pull a lever or push a button it covers a part of the exhaust slowing the engine down, causeing the tranny to slow the vehicle down! hope that helps!

i was thinking that i had heard somewhere that some engines had a brake kinda thing on the flywheel to slow the engine down right away when you turn it off

I think I may have found the rattleing part.. going to try to fix that. But I still dunno why it is shaking,, hopefully it is the gas and some new EXPENSIVE gas will get rid of the damn shaking
