Car -sometimes- shakes while accelerating
Saturday, February 11, 2006 10:50 PM
Hi ppl,

A couple of weeks ago, made a quick tuning to my Cavy: changed the fuel pump, the sparkplugs, oil, oil filter, air filter and the sparkplug wires... also cleaned the IAC and the injectors (at the cleaning service the guy told me that those were very very dirty)...

Now sometimes, while accelerating (pedal at middle) at low rpms I feel that the car loses power intermitently and makes the car shake... when I reach more than 2K RPM, the car stabilizes and runs fine...

What's wrong? Something to check? btw, Cavalier spare parts are hard to find around here, and the sparkplug wires were only available in a cheap brand... those are what I'm using now... also I put platinum tip plugs...

I appreciate your feedback.

Champion brand platinum tip plugs... don't remember the part number... maybe 3615?

Abt the wires, those were maybe an unbranded item... lol... they were in an ugly box... the cable shows: 7 mm supressor Made in USA.... My bro had the same "brand" cables for his Ford Aerostar... they only worked for 1 month until they got burnt!!

I'm suspecting of the cables? Don't you think? Thanx
