Thanks for the insight. I'm currently looking at one iswara 2006. 1 lady owner w/o modifications. Weirdly, the engine rocks quite a lot when it's in neutral. Is it a serious and costly problem to fix? I'm suspecting there might be some fault in its gearbox, though not serious. Wondering how much would it be to change the gearbox. Sifus pls help a poor chap here. icon_rolleyes.gif

There are several common causes of engine vibration in a car, and they all result in shaking and noises that can be quite alarming and sometimes scary. However, if you know what some of the most frequent caused of engine vibration are, you can not only avoid too much stress and worry, you can know how to explain the problem and symptoms to a car mechanic when the time comes to correct the problem. So, here is a list of some of the most common reasons your car's engine might shake or vibrate.

Worn Out Spark Plugs

In many vehicles a common cause of engine vibration is worn out or faulty sparkplugs. Worn out or dirty sparkplugs will cause the car's engine to misfire or not properly fire on each and every cylinder. When this occurs, it is commonly referred to as the engine missing or not firing on all cylinders. This can usually be corrected by installing new sparkplugs or correcting other spark or compression-related issues.

Loose or Disconnected Hoses

Loose or disconnected hoses can also be a common cause of many types of engine vibration. A loose or disconnected air hose or vacuum hose can cause quite a bit of violent shaking and vibration in your car's engine. To correct the problem, simply look for any loose or disconnected hoses and reattach them and replace them as needed.

Engine Problems? Check Out These Engine Repair Tips
Broken Motor Mounts

If the vehicle shakes violently or the engine vibrates excessively when stopped at a red light or when parked with the engine on, this may be a good indicator that the motor mounts or transmission mounts on the vehicle are damaged or broken. A good way to tell if this is the problem is to simply put the car in neutral and see if the vibration or shaking decreases a bit. If it does, this is a good sign that there may be problems with your engines motor mounts and you should have the engine inspected by a qualified repair shop or professional mechanic.

Faulty or Poorly Adjusted Fuel Intake System

Another common problem that causes engine vibration and nasty shaking is a poorly adjusted fuel intake system. Sometimes, idling problems that cause engine vibration may be as simple as adjusting the idle on a carburetor or cleaning components in the fuel intake system so that fuel passes through the engine more easily creating cleaner and more efficient combustion your car's engine.

Faulty Timing Belt

Problems with your vehicle's timing belt, or other belt driven accessories, are another common cause of engine vibrations in vehicles. Timing belts and other belts that are loose or damaged will cause components controlled by belts such as fans and other parts to not rotate or turn a consistent speeds which will result in strange sounds and vibrations from your car's engine. To avoid these types of problems, you should frequently inspect all of the belts in your vehicle to make sure that they are free from crakcs and ribbing and also make sure that the belts are tight and operating as they should. smile.gif  nod.gif

Thanks a lot! But your post scared me quite a bit to be honest. Not very sure whether I should take a shot at this car. 2 major problems would be that the gear shift isn't very smooth and that the engine possibly might cost a bomb to fix. Though the car is priced at 5k, do you think I should take a shot at this? cry.gif

Hard to say, without an inspection of the car. If possible :

1) ask the owner for maintenance records, and whether she can repair the vibration problem before selling to you

2) get a mechanic to inspect or test the car. Check the airfilter, spark plug condition, idle speed setting, air-con
Fast Idle Compensating Device, ignition timing ... to see if the problem is a simple one or an expensive one, bcos of the many causes of the vibration as mentioned by DaBestOne...

What is the mileage on the odometer? Is the vibration only in neutral gear, does it occur during idling only? Is
there vibration when you  drive the car?

Why do you suspect the gearbox, is there abnormal sound coming from it?

Hey there. The mileage was around 66k. The vibration occurred quite violently when the AC is turned on during idling if I'm not mistaken. Minimal vibration when started driving. Well, the gearbox is an unofficial suspicion as it wasn't really smooth when shifting gears. rclxub.gif

Thanks for all the inputs. Really helps a lot on my current situation. Gonna get it checked on this coming Thursday and hope that there aren't too many problems with it.
I agree a 100% that most lady drivers don't give a shiet about their car, so long it doesn't break down. I actually found a bulu ayam when I opened the hood, fken lol. blink.gif
But I think there isn't much to complain for RM5k. Hope all's well. brows.gif
