Is momentary engine shaking upon startup a normal phenomenon?
1 Answers
Momentary engine shaking upon startup is a normal phenomenon. If noticeable shaking persists inside the vehicle after engine ignition, it may indicate damaged engine mounts. Engine mounts are installed between the engine and chassis frame to absorb vibrations. Typically made of rubber, these components can harden and deteriorate with prolonged use. Other potential causes of startup shaking include severe engine carbon buildup, ignition system issues, unstable oil pressure, aging engine components, with common culprits being dirty throttle bodies or excessive fuel injector carbon deposits.
