Re: shimmy and a shake

Quote:
- Very recently, like within the last week, my engine's vibrating pretty significantly. When I'm at idle and accelerating from stop is when the engine vibrates that car most noticibly. Imagine a ceiling fan with a big lump of clay on one of the blades - that's what my car feels like (i.e. out of balance). I hardly notice it once I'm above 20 mph though.
That sounds like your running on 5 cylendars. Open the hood at night and run the car. See if you can see any sparks. It could be a bad spark plug or spark plug wire.
