Engine is shaking
Hello,

the engine of my 1998 3.1 Lumina is shaking or better idling rough when I stand on e.g. red light. Then it feels like I am on a boat at the sea. It swings. It is normal when I drive. What can this cause?

Thank you

Re: Engine is shaking
How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Clean the throttle body and idle air control. There are several issues that can cause rough idle.

Re: Engine is shaking
Maybe a vacuum leak, somewhere? Without something to point us in the right direction, all I can do is hunt and peck.

It might be. How can I detect the leak?
