Car shaking at idle

If you're noticing the car shaking or vibrating when stopped, your car is telling you something. Here's what usually causes it, what you can safely check, and when to call a mechanic.

Likely causes

  • Worn engine mounts
  • Misfire from coil or plug
  • Dirty throttle body
  • Vacuum leak

“Book an inspection; misfires can damage the catalytic converter.”

What you can check

  • See if the shake goes away in Neutral (mounts) or stays (misfire)
