What Up With My Car Vibrating?

88_88 asked:

I just got a 2001 Escort zx2 that I am curious about. It has some sort of an issue of vibrating as it sits there running. Its not like a normal car when it vibrates so i was wondering what it could be from. It has cold air intake as well as an aftermarket exhaust, could that be the issue with it?

Could be a broken engine or transaxle mount, or one they didn’t reconnect when they installed the exhaust.

You probably have a misfire or two. get someone mechanically inclined to look at your spark plugs. if they’re cracked, worn, distorted, closed or fouled, you’ll probably need to change them.
