Car Shaking Problems

Car shaking problems are usually the results of mechanical problems. Out of adjustment tires or suspension will make the car shake after reaching a certain speed. Warped brake rotors will also make the car shake when it’s slowing down.

What is the number sequence of the coil packs for 2001 sequoia?

User Avatar

Asked by Tratodd

The number sequence of the coil packs for 2001 Toyota Sequoia is 1-4-2-5-3-6. This sequence refers to the firing order of the engine which is the order in which the spark plugs ignite the fuel in the engine cylinders. The coil packs are responsible for providing the spark plugs with the spark they need to ignite the fuel. The firing order is important to ensure that the fuel is ignited in the correct sequence which is necessary for the engine to run properly.

  • Coil Pack 1: Firing Order 1
  • Coil Pack 2: Firing Order 4
  • Coil Pack 3: Firing Order 2
  • Coil Pack 4: Firing Order 5
  • Coil Pack 5: Firing Order 3
  • Coil Pack 6: Firing Order 6

It is important to note that this number sequence is specific to the 2001 Toyota Sequoia and may not be applicable to other vehicles. Also if the firing order is incorrect it can cause serious engine problems and should be checked by a professional mechanic.

Car shakes in reverse?

What makes steering wheel shake when stepping on the brakes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If its shaking side to side could be a tire out of balance or maybe a mechanical issue (wheel bearing, alignment, etc). Probably not a safety issue, but it can wear the tires out prematurely which can be expensive. Warped brake rotors are the most likely cause if the steering wheel only shakes when applying the brakes.

What is the purpose of an ignition coi?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ignition coil creates the high voltage necessary in spark plugs to create the spark that ignites the gasoline fuel that creates the expanding gas that pushes on the cylinder making it move and turn the crank shaft of the engine. The rotating crank shaft powers the fuel pump, alternator, air conditioner. The rotating energy is passed to the transmission and to the drive shaft and wheels making the car or other gas powered vehicle go.

What causes a car to pull in one direction?

Asked by Wiki User

Typically, either alignment or low tire pressure. Check the tire pressure, if it still pulls you'll need to take the vehicle to a front-end specialist for an alignment.

Why would the steering wheel of your Toyota Corolla vibrate when you press the brake pedal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The wheels were probably overtorqued. Have the rotors turned and the wheels torqued correctly. The mechanic more than likely overtightened the lug nuts holding your wheels on. With all of the horror stories of people having their wheels come off while riding down the road, service garages and mechanics are probably being over cautious. If tight is good, then even tighter is better. Unfortunately, what happens is that they end up warping the brake rotors (the disks that your break pads pinch together on to make your car stop). The warped rotors then give you that pulsing effect when you brake. Newer cars have lighter weight rotors that are more susceptible to warping, and, if your rotors are old or have been turned on a lathe, they are narrower and weaker and can warp easier.

What force is needed to stop a car?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is: any force equal to or greater than the forward momentum of the truck. So many variables enter into calculating a precise measurement of force needed to stop a vehicle - mass of the vehicle, conditions of friction and gravity - is the truck going uphill or downhill, or on a flat surface? Is the road slippery, smooth or rough?

Let's assume that normal conditions apply: a truck weighing 10,000 Kg traveling at an acceleration rate of 5m/s² along a flat smooth surface. Using Newton's second Law of Motion, expressed as a formula F=ma, where F is the Net Force (the sum of all forces acting on an object) in Newtons, m is the mass of the truck, and a is its acceleration rate, assumed here to be 5m/s². By multiplying the mass times acceleration, we see that a whopping 50,000 Newtons would be required to stop this truck. By comparison, the pull of gravity on a person of average weight (72 Kg, or 160 lb) is measured at 686 Newtons. So depending on the type of truck, weather conditions, wind speed, direction of the truck, and effect of gravity and friction (all included in net force, or Newtons) you can see that the actual Force, expressed as N, is a variable.

If your spark plugs are bad will your car start?

Rotated tires now steering wheel shakes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually when the steering wheel shakes badly while driving it could mean a few things. If it shakes only when you are applying the brakes, this means you have warped rotors and they will need to be turned or replaced. If it shakes just while driving, it could be that you have 1 or more tires that are unbalanced. Check this first before proceeding. It can also indicate that a wheel alignment and perhaps steering linkage repairs are necessary.

Why does your car shake when you turn it off?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Why would your car shake very badly when you get up to speeds of 65 mph or more?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Out of balance tires, worn out tires, (tread separating, etc), bad tie rod ends, idler arm, center link, etc.

your tires need to be ballaced

The EXACT same thing just happened with my car. It would shake at higher speeds, but especially when the brakes were hot after driving for a few minutes. I took my car to the shop yesterday and they diagnosed it as a sticking brake caliper. The caliper is not releasing as it should, therefore making the brakes drag. The technician said he could barely turn the rotor it was so bad. He also said I will get much better gas mileage once it's fixed!

What happens basically is that the brakes stick, causing severe shaking and vibration in the steering wheel. I also felt it in the brake pedal when slowing down from high speeds. It felt exactly like a flat tire. It's basically like having one brake partially on while you are driving. It's very important to have this repaired ASAP as it puts wear on other parts of your car (esp. suspension parts: bearings, tie-rods, etc.). If you continue to drive with a sticking caliper it will eventually cause more damage.

These are the parts that need replacing on my car: calipers, brake pads, and possibly rotors. Sometimes the rotors can be resurfaced if they are not worn down too thin or warped. It is best to replace both driver and passenger side parts even if only one side is bad. If you only do one side, it will cause the car to pull to the opposite side, during braking causing it to wear down fast. You will soon need to replace the other side anyhow. Best to do them both at the same time so they will wear evenly and not cause unequal wear on either side.

But before you bring it into the shop, check your lug nuts to be sure they are not loose. Good luck!

Why do cars stall when it gets too hot or when you try to accelerate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

What kind of car & year. Could be the idle air bypass valve. It is located on the throttle body. If you remove the hose and look in the throttle body, you can see a hole in there. Try to clean it with air intake cleaner first. Clean the throttle body with it about 25% of the can, then use the rest of the can into that hole! Do this with the vehicle is running. You may have to play with the throttle to do this. Try to keep the idle as low as possible. When done, stop the vehicle for 10 mins. then rev it up a lot and get all the black out.

What is a strut?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Struts is an open source Web application framework developed as Apache Jakarta project

Struts is based on MVC (Model View Controller) framework. It is used to build Web applications based on Servlet and JSP. So Struts application is a genuine Web application.

Struts leverages J2EE design patterns that people find quite useful in building J2EE applications. Because Struts follows these patterns including MVC, Struts is relatively simple to use and learn.

A Composite View is a view built using other reusable subviews. A single change to a sub-view is automatically reflected in every composite view that uses it. Furthermore, the composite view manages the layout of its sub-views and can provide a template, making consistent look and feel feel easier to achieve and modify across the entire application. Struts has its own set of custom tag libraries. Struts also support

utility classes.

Car idling rough?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your car is idling rough it is likely due to an issue with the fuel system spark plugs or the ignition system. To identify and resolve the issue you should:

  • Check the air filter and replace it if necessary.
  • Clean the fuel injectors and replace them if needed.
  • Check the fuel pressure and adjust it if necessary.
  • Replace the spark plugs and check the spark plug wires.
  • Check the ignition system for any issues.

If the issue persists after taking these steps it may be necessary to take the car to a professional mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

How much to fix it the shaky wheel?

From my experience with this problem it isn't the steering wheel that is shaking but your U joints could be bad or something else under the car. Get it to a mechanic. Can't give a cost for this.

Car starts really rough and then it starts to run smoothly the gauge shows that it is overheating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it starts very rough but then clears out expect either fouling of spark plugs or a mixture problem that clears up when O2 feedback becomes available.

As far as the gage showing overheating... does it show this immediately after a cold start? Have you considered actually taking its temperature with a suitable tool?

When you hit a bump front end shakes?

Asked by Wiki User

The problem is either worn suspension parts (e.g., tie rods, idler arm, ball joints) or worn shocks/struts.

What would cause a vibration in the front passenger side after you hit a bump Feels like the passenger wheel is going to break off?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your wheel bearing may have been damaged; your control arm may have been bent; your ball joint may have been dislocated; a tie-rod could have been bent. Visually inspect all parts for straightness, and give a good yank on the top of the tire and feel for any movement. If you feel a slight movement in the wheel, then your wheel bearing is bad. You could have bent your rim as well.

Can a warped rotor cause a severe shake in front end even when your not using your brakes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Definately!! The uneven displacement of mass caused by a warped rotor (also called rotor run out) can cause severe shaking at certain speeds. Ironically, this senario is usually created because the driver decided to slam on his/her brakes, which ended up warping the rotors in the first place.

What is wrong when a 2004 Ford Taurus shakes and gets worse as speed goes up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most times your tires are out of balance. Driving it in that conditions adds more problems so get that corrected tomorrow.

Shakes that develop at or above specific speeds are usually caused by tire balance. Misalignment can also contribute to the problem
