I have a 06' STX w/16k miles and when i start the engine it vibrates really nasty, the whole truck shakes trying to start up. Has anybody had this kind of problem before. It has stopped already but after about a month or so it comes back.

 

sounds to me like you have a stuck injector letting extra fuel in.

Well i dont know much about autos so can you explain to me exactly what that is and where its located?

 

It's a fuel injector. Sometimes carbon can build up in the orifice where the fuel sprays out and causes it to get stuck open. Or the injector can just go bad leaving it to stay open, causing the fuel pressure to slow decrease, which means whichever one is stuck open that will be the cylinder that has the excess fuel in it.

Thanks alot 4 your input on this issue of mine but i have just one more question. Is it easily fixable or am i gonna have to take it to the dealership for a fix.

 

JForestZ34,

Are you any type of tech?

 

My brother, two step brothers and my step dad were mechanics. So I know alittle something...
but we no longer keep in touch.

 

No why do you ask? I do my own work on my own vehicle's that's about it. The information that I have are from this board and doing my own work through the years on my own cars and trucks.
