  • 3100 engine vibration, assistance requested!

    I have a 95 olds cutlass supreme, 3100 engine with 150k miles on it.

    This weekend was driving around perfectly, has always ran great. Stopped to eat, was inside for about an hour. Came back out and now car runs with a terrible shake. Its comming from the engine, it does it in park, neutral and while driving. It gets really bad when I accelerate, and goes away completely when I coast at higher speeds.

    The engine itself seems to be running fine. It starts ok, and I haven't really noticed a loss of power or change of normal engine noises.

    I'm going to replace the serp belt tonight and drop the oil to look for leaks of any sorts, but can anyone toss me some advice as to what the problem might be?

    Thanks!

    Paul

    Ignition related. Module, Coils, Wires or Plugs

        Hey Im with geoff on this one, same thing happened to me last night i was driving to my friends everything was fine, But when i went to leave the same thing happend it started to mis fire and it would shake at about 1500 to 2500 rpm and it was fine at higher speeds. I got home and started to troubleshoot i have all brand new MSD ignition parts so i was kinda pissed. I started by checking all the plugs everything checked out fine so then i checked the MSD wires also checked out fine, then i had a couple beers after that i checked the switches on my ignition everything fine. So put my old GM coil packs back in and started it up and everything was perfect again. Kinda a piss off cuz the MSD coils packs are only about 1 1/2 months old . This morning i tested each coil and found the bad one.

            MSD isn't getting their coils from the same place as Accel, are they?
