i was just wondering if anyone's EA engine shakes at just above idle

it's prolly at about 1200-1500rpm the whole car just shakes....

what could cause this...

could an aftermarket cam cause this...or any other engine mod?

someone told me the car is not stock...(own opinion)

i haven't done anything...but previous owner may have...

i got nothing to compare it against...thats all...

cheers

I had an EA with a modified motor, never shook, ran very smoothly... but who knows, all depends on whats been done to it.... get a mechanic to check it out. Better than letting the engine tell you there's something wrong by throwing a piston at ya! Might be normal for it too..

cats.....yeah love em when they're flat hehehehe. anyway the mental deficiencies that live next door have enough of them for the whole neighbourhood.

a mate of mine had a sticker on his car which pretty well sums it up, "the only good cat is a flat cat". not only that he had a tally on his dashboard. hahahahahaha.
