Heavy Engine Vibrations
 

Hey guys need some big help here. I have a Lancer Cedia 2001. Problem #1. Whenever the car is started and put in drive the engine makes a very high rev and aggressively "pulls" forward. Problem #2. Whenever the car is in drive but stationary (like in traffic or at stop lights) the car vibrates heavily causing a loud knocking sound around the a/c, radiator area. Its even worst when the a/c unit is turned on. Problem # 3. Whenever I have to move off from a complete stop the car vibrates and virtually stalls especially if the a/c unit is on. In order to avoid this and the loud knocking sounds and vibrating I have to use my left foot to hold the brake while I use the the right foot to gently rev the engine whenever I am slowing down or coming to a complete stop- need some mega HEEEEEELP!!!!

im thinkin that could be an engine mount that's bad

RE: Heavy Engine Vibrations
 

is it a 5 speed or auto?? if it is 5 speed you might need to adjust your clutch, it might not be letting go all the way

Would the engine mount cause all that problems?? I can understand the engine mount causing the pulling or slaming effect when the gears are changed. The car is automatic

how does it idle? if it's a real rough idle which is what it sounds like you could have a vacuum leak... along with a tranny problem... check ur transmission fluid, could be low, same thing happened to my mom's taurus
