97 Sc1 shaking, rough idle.

[Weezay]

Had a tune up, rotors replaced, front brakes, back brakes and drums,
all 4 struts, fuel [ump, ignition modulator, 4 new tires...any
suggestions? Im sick of spending money on a car not worth it. Shakes
all the time - nothing to do with braking although it shakes then too
but not as bad.

Without actually seeing this firsthand, I'd say you still have some type of
engine problem, possibly a fuel delivery/injector issue or a dirty throttle
body causing the rough idle. Another thought here is that it might be a bad
torque axis (top) engine mount that is no longer dampening the engine
vibration. Again, your description is somewhat vague and it's hard to give
any more based on what you have provided.

Good luck.

from the way you describe it, it sounds like the typical symptoms of a bad
motor moount, possibly the top one, but best to have all checked out, if the
car vibrates like that, all the mounts are problably in need of replacement.
not an expensive job, and common, so no worries.

From the way he discribed it in his subject line, and the way he
discribed it in his post, you have to wonder WHY he had done all of that
other stuff. Brakes dont effect engine idle. Tires dont effect engine
idle. Struts dont effect engine idle. I mean if you arent moving, how
are these things vibrating? His subject line says more about his problem
then the rest of his post.

No mention of miles, no mention of of brand or type of ignition parts.
No mention of fuel filter replacement, why change the fuel pump and not
the filter? Who ever is making the decisions for "throwing parts at the
problem" needs to be fired. Some of these things may have been over due
for replacement but I'm sure most were not.
