Car vibrates when I come to a complete stop?
I drive a 2001 Ford Focus and my parents bought the car for me in March of this year and it ran smooth and everything until about a month ago, maybe two months. Now whenever I come to a complete stop, it vibrates. It doesn't do it at all when I'm driving, only when the car is completely stopped. Does anybody know what could be wrong with it? I really don't have money to take it to a mechanic right now and don't want to have my parents pay for me to take it to a mechanic.
Just keep holding on the clutch and go back to 1 shift
(sorry for my bad english i hope you get it
Your idle or carburetor needs adjustment
I had a 2000 Focus and around 120k miles it did the same thing - it turned out the coil pack was cracked - you can buy replacement coil packs from amazon for about $30 (I could see the cracks btw).
Should look something like this - http://www.1aauto.com/ignition-coil-pack/i/1aeci00082?f=372084&y=2001
If the spark plugs haven't been changed in about 75k miles or there's oil around the base of the spark plugs (if the valve cover is leaking in that area) that could also be the cause - all this is VERY easy to check and change.
- My radio won't stop scanning, doesn't stop on any station, why? It's a stock 93 Ford Taurus radio, only am fm and cassette, cassettes work but I don't want to use. How can I get my radio to work again? My antennae was loose but I tightened it but it still won't work!
- How much would it cost for a complete new brake system? It would be for a 1970 Ford Mustang. This is the Craigslist ad: 1970 Mustang Coupe Project Car, 302, Automatic, Factory AC car, Magnum 500's. Newer: Seat Covers Carpet Gas Tank Flowmaster Exhaust Engine runs good. Not driveable - no brakes, will need to trailer or flatbed. 86,000 miles Also how much do you think I should pay? (He is asking $3400)
- Why dose battery light come on in high rpm from stop after 4rpm in first gear? 97 ford Taurus 3.0L. Battery light comes on when I accelerate from a stop to 5k rpm first gear 60mph ish. All light that are on get 2x brighter and after 30 sec all the lights go back to normal and battery light turns off after i stop accelerating and slow down to 40mph at 2-3 rpm. Why is that?
- Grinding noise when coming to a complete stop? I have a 1999 ford f150 XLT. My brakes were pretty bad and warped, and they started making a grinding noise when i come to a complete stop. Not when i'm braking from 10mph or more. So i replaced all 4 rotors and pads. But the problem still continues! Could it be the front calipers? The brake pedal does push back when the grinding noise happens.
