johnydriver Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 IMPORTANT: this happens almost only on cold start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Id say look at maf sensors, crank sensors, cam sensors etc. However you'd expect fault codes if these were failing. Could it be engine or gearbox mounts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnydriver Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Hi, Steve i have 0 errors on board nor with tester. yesterday at cold start it happened 4 starts in a row. Then it started normal, like nothing happened before... and all day it started like new, drove about 250 miles and had about 8-10 engine starts on warm, and everything was good.. Stevey Y, it’s not only shaking, the engine is working differently, when you push acceleration pedal, he is making very scary sounds, and its gaining RPM very slowly, even if you push hard the accel. and if the engine is starting normaly, he is not shaking at all, no creepy sounds and no power loss... thats why i dont believe in mounts... maybe sensors, but again, why its happening on cold start or after engine was off for an hour or more? no problems on warm Edited April 17, 2022 by johnydriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evopilot Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 only thing that would make me not believe it was the mounts is that the problem suddenly goes away on the 5th start or so map does sound like a strong likely candidate imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
