hey guys,

i have a problem where my car is literally shakes like hell when i dont step on the gas.it happened a couple of days ago and its getting me worried. It seems like the shaking came from the engine itself but i cant confirm whether or not its a transmission problem or a spark plug problem or is it something else going on inside the engine itself. The engine itself is shaking and choking like its going to die on me. Does anyone have encountered this sort of problem before and what are your countermeasures? Any sifu please help especially myvi sifus..i'm driving a myvi 2006 auto.

Thanks.

My first guess : one or more of your spark plugs have expired.

Throttle body dirty? Just a wild guess

bro dares,

is it? i'm using denso iridium spark plugs..will try to open up the spark plugs and see if its OK.

bro Shawnzz,

i've opened up the air filter and see the throttle body..seems ok i think but anyhow will try to open up again.

Update:-

now every gear is shaking and choking...gear 1,2,D,N,R and even P..i think i dont have much time left with this car..please do help me..

I experience this before, when not pressing the throttle the engine chokes as if it's gonna stall. Everytime slow down when making a turn also shake like driving an old car.

Mech replaced the spark plugs and everything was OK again, which is why I suggest to check the spark plugs.

If not the spark plugs, then maybe the plug cables or the alternator. Send it to the workshop and check.

Yup, too little info given. Please send to mechanic for check up.
To me probably low idling speed, because when step on accelerator you mention okay, right?

check ur map and maf sensor also..

I see...d mechanic suggested me to change the fuel pump and i've changed to a newer one..but i think that is not the problem..will try changing to a newer spark plugs tomorrow.


apparently, the idling is OK..it stays at 800rpm during the shaking. but will try to visit the mechanic tomorrow morning.

oh,ok bro..do you guys know any good mechanic around sunway which has the myvi module? because my dad's mechanic doesnthave the myvi module..he told me to go to SA to check the ECU.

Was that the same mechanic who ask you to change the fuel pump??

Could it be mounting problem?

ya..its the same mechanic..sigh..after changing d fuel pump, and the problem still persist,he told me to go to SA to check on the ECU. Will have it sent to perodua glenmarie to scan the ECU tomorrow morning.

I've changed my mounting to a newer one a couple of months back.I dont think its d mounting problem.

Use regular spark plugs and check the air filter. If u use insert-funny-metal-name-here spark plugs u have to make sure that the heat range is correct. Drain the fuel tank abit just in case water collected inside.

Just hate those mechanic trial and error by changing parts and cannot locate the problem.....

why don't you get a set of original spark plugs and see first? it's no more than 50odd bucks

One set normal plugs only around RM20.....

guys, already changed to a regular spark plug..will see the condition of the car for a couple of days..perodua glenmarie told me that they could not find any problem with the car..they've checked the ECU and spark plugs but everything is normal..i'm puzzled..

really aa?i changed to a regular spark plugs from SA..cost me rm30 woo..they say..its original and its NGK..

Try checking the spare part shops.....

bro, try disconnect the battery negative terminals and leave it overnight..next morning, re-tighten the battery positive and negative terminals..might help hopefully..
