Car Bucking/shaking
Good Morning,
My car recently started throwing temper tantrums anywhere 2500 RPM's or below. I noticed my ground on the battery terminal was loose, I tightened it and it helped a lot.
So next I found every grounding spot I could and took a dremel to the contact surface to ensure good contact.
Still, the car was bucking badly on low rpm deceleration. So I tested out my TPS, specs were way off. I adjusted it to the correct specs and voila car is happy again...or so it seemed. DUN DUN DUNNNNN
All is good with little to no electrical load, soon as I need my headlights the bucking comes back with a vengeance. So I kind of fixed it as long as I don't stay out past my curfew lol.
Just thought Id share some heartache.
