Ok, over the last two weeks, my car has developed a strange
shaking habit whenever I am at idle in park, or, when I am on the brake in drive. It gets a bit worse when I let off of the brake and just as I begin to roll forward. Over this past weekend, the check engine light came on. I took the negative cable off of the battery twice to reset, and to see if the light would come back on and it did.
Does anybody know what could be causing this to happen?
Some points to consider:
I know that one of the spark plug boots has oil dried about it on top of the engine. Meybe a misfire?
On the negative cable, there is a small cable attatched to it, and the wires from that have been broken from corrosion. There are only a few strands left. Would this contribute in some way?
The idle pulley wheel appears to be shaky and wobbly.
My idle rpm has dropped from about 900 to 500 in the last two weeks.
Any advice or suggestions would help. I will have to bring it in for sure, but now I am dreading what this could be. Thanks.
