My 8 still shaky... headache. help.
My 8 is abit shaking, seems like the car idling is not steady sometimes. I tought It might need new engine mount or misfire problem, but I went to dealership lastweek, there is no misfire problem and engine mount is fine too. what is another problem can cause car shaking? if I change spark plug cable and coil is that will make it better?
Dealer said it might need clean the carbon inside the engine with a can of blah blah ( i cant remember the name of the chemical ) but that will cost around 3 hundy and they will not sure that will help the problem, but they said the car is running smooth... sigh...
Please help, what should I do......................
Thanks guys.

how many miles? any mods? is everything stock?
My first thing would:
-Replace coils
-Replace wires
-Replace spark plugs
-sea foam the motor you can do it yourself the can costs 20 bucks, also a DIY thread on here read that
-also cleant he MAF sometimes oil can get in the intake if you over fill the oil. is very common actually. check that out woul dbe my things. if all else fails ask for a compression test.
