It sounds like the fly wheel is warped and may need to be machined to have a smooth even surface. Similar to cutting or resurfacing brake rotors or drums when brakes pulse or vibrate when applied.

What causes problem when 1991 Volvo 940 abs tries to come on at low speed only causing a shudder on pedal and a clunk noise not caliper not disc not hose?

I had this problem on my 940. It started as a slight shudder when I braked, and then there was an intermittent clunk. Then, without any warning, both of the front brakes fell off (Completely. They were dangling by their cables!). It turns out that the bolts holding the brake system on had vibrated themselves out. Try tightening the bolts and see if that helps.

Adjust the distributor and check your wires to see if installed backward. Take it to a mechanic, and they will hook it up to a programmer and adjust it using the computer and some slight turning.

What is the Difference between 73 beetle and 73 super beetle?

The Super Beetles started in '71 or '72 and and the main differences are they are a little bit longer and they went to a Strut front suspension. They also went to a curved windshield in '74 or '75. I'm not sure when the standards did. But in "general", everything behind the windshield is the same as a standard, so I'm told. But every year VW made slight changes to them both so some things will fit others and some things won't. The curved windshield on a super beetle started in '73 and had a larger plastic dashboard. Another way you can tell a beetle from a super beetle is the standard beetle's spare tire sits uprite in the front of trunk while the super lays flat on bottom of trunk.


Is it normal for a 2004 Dodge Grand caravan to have a very slight vibration when idling at a stop sign the check engine light is not on?

Both of my late model vehicles do this; the fuel injected vehicles have a variation of a idle speed motor/ idle speed control valve/ many different names. What they do is adjust the idle. Many times they can cause a slight lean condition which manifests itself as a slight rough idle. I would not worry about it and don't throw dollar bills at it.
