What Causes Engine Shaking in Toyota Camry?
2 Answers
Toyota Camry engine shaking can be caused by various factors, including ignition timing, engine carbon buildup, and excessively high engine temperature. These issues may lead to noticeable engine vibrations. If severe shaking occurs while driving, it is advisable to stop and inspect the vehicle promptly to prevent affecting normal operation. The all-new generation Toyota Camry is built on the innovative TNGA platform. In terms of dimensions, the car measures 4900mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The facelifted eighth-generation Camry offers three powertrain options: TNGA 2.5L HEV, TNGA 2.5L, and TNGA 2.0L, available across ten models spanning three series - Luxury, Sport, and Hybrid versions.
My old Camry had the same issue before, driving it felt like sitting on a massage chair. Mainly check these areas: First is the ignition system problem, spark plugs with enlarged gaps or electrode erosion after prolonged use directly affect the ignition in a certain cylinder; Second is excessive carbon buildup on the throttle body, especially for cars frequently driven in urban areas, an imbalanced air-fuel mixture ratio easily causes shaking; Third is the aging of engine mounts, these act as buffers between the engine and the frame, when the rubber hardens, vibrations directly transmit into the cabin; It could also be a fuel system issue, such as a clogged fuel injector causing insufficient fuel injection in a certain cylinder. Also, a reminder, if the check engine light comes on while shaking, immediately reading the fault code will be more accurate. It's recommended to start by replacing the spark plugs and cleaning the throttle body, these two are low-cost and quick fixes.
