A shaking vehicle when stopped can be attributed to issues in the exhaust system, such as a damaged or loose exhaust pipe, muffler, or hangers. If the exhaust components are not securely attached or have developed a leak, vibrations from the engine can transmit through the exhaust system, causing the entire vehicle to shake. Additionally, a malfunctioning engine or misfiring can exacerbate the vibrations, making the shaking more noticeable. It’s important to have the exhaust system and engine inspected to identify and resolve the underlying issue.

Why does car shake when turning off the engine?

A car may shake when turning off the engine due to several reasons, including engine vibrations, uneven wear in engine mounts, or a faulty fuel or ignition system. When the engine stops suddenly, these vibrations can become more pronounced, leading to a noticeable shake. Additionally, issues with the exhaust system or a misfiring engine can also contribute to this phenomenon. If the shaking is severe or persistent, it’s advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic.

What is the name of the test that uses colored liquid to find exhaust gas in the cooling system?

Combustion leak detection. The liquid changes color from blue to light green when Carbon Dioxide (in exhaust gas) is passed through it. It tests for leaks from the vehicle's head gasket(s) or cracked engine block into the cooling system. The head gasket is the culprit in most all cases. Also, if there is exhaust gas in the cooling system, usually there will be other indications of head gasket or block failure, such as white smoke from the exhaust (coolant vaporizing in the combustion process), oil in the coolant or vice versa (is known as the "chocolate shake" where the coolant or engine oil starts to look like milk chocolate from the two mixing), and/or bubbles in the coolant reservoir while the engine is running. The Combustion Leak Detector will tell you in no time.
