Best Answer

Movements in your car's motor causes your car to move slightly from side to side. When the engine is running, the movements are so fast that the car is balanced - it doesn't have a chance to move to one side before the opposite force moves it back the other way. When you turn the engine off, these forces slow down and as the engine stops running the forces from side to side get slower until they actually move the car for a moment - and it shakes from one side to the other until the engine stops.

check to see if your car has an air charge sensor which helps the computer calculate the fuel adjustment on startup when the engine is cold. Changing this sensor stopped the problem in my Mercury Sable.

How can you turn on the air bag in your car?

You cannot turn it on because it cannot be turned off in a car. It is always on. In some 2 door trucks you can turn the passenger air bag off/on, but not in a car.
