The ignition coil is responsible for creating a spark that ignites the fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. If an ignition coil is faulty, it can cause a misfire, which will result in a shaking engine.
Symptoms of a faulty ignition coil:
- Engine shaking
- Engine misfiring
- Check engine light on
- Reduced fuel economy
2. Faulty spark plug
Spark plugs are responsible for creating the spark that ignites the fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. If a spark plug is faulty, it can cause a misfire, which will result in a shaking engine.
Symptoms of a faulty spark plug:
- Engine shaking
- Engine misfiring
- Check engine light on
- Reduced fuel economy
- Difficulty starting the engine
3. Faulty fuel injector
Fuel injectors are responsible for delivering fuel to the engine's cylinders. If a fuel injector is faulty, it can cause a misfire, which will result in a shaking engine.
Symptoms of a faulty fuel injector:
- Engine shaking
- Engine misfiring
- Check engine light on
- Reduced fuel economy
- Difficulty starting the engine
4. Faulty mass air flow sensor
The mass air flow sensor (MAF) is responsible for measuring the amount of air entering the engine. If the MAF is faulty, it can cause the engine to run rich or lean, which will result in a shaking engine.
Symptoms of a faulty mass air flow sensor:
- Engine shaking
- Engine misfiring
- Check engine light on
- Reduced fuel economy
- Difficulty starting the engine
5. Faulty oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensor is responsible for measuring the amount of oxygen in the engine's exhaust. If the oxygen sensor is faulty, it can cause the engine to run rich or lean, which will result in a shaking engine.
Symptoms of a faulty oxygen sensor:
- Engine shaking
- Engine misfiring
- Check engine light on
- Reduced fuel economy
- Difficulty starting the engine
6. Faulty engine mount
Engine mounts are responsible for holding the engine in place and absorbing vibrations. If an engine mount is faulty, it can cause the engine to shake.
Symptoms of a faulty engine mount:
- Engine shaking
- Vibration when accelerating or decelerating
- Clunking noise when shifting gears
- Difficulty shifting gears
