Default Man does she shake...

Today I went to look at a 2000 black on black coupe at a local dealer today. They were hosting a good price on it... 58,000 for $19,500. My wife wants a vette for herself, so I went and took it out for a run. At first all seemed normal... nothing out of the ordinary... but as I came to a stop light... the motor sounded like it was strung out on crack... idling very high, but was only at 1500rpm. Then whole car started to shake like it was in an earthquake.... enough to make my foot fall asleep on the peddle. My question is... what could this be? Maybe a loose/broken motor mount?? Took it back to the dealer.. And said not thanks... and he is now calling me with a better deal on it... and said that the vibrations quit while running the car more???? I think that he is . If I post the vin#'s... can someone pull some info for me?
Thanks!!

1500 RPM at an idle is too high. I had a similar problem after going to a car wash that hit the underbody with a jet of water... after driving a while, my car just started bucking and then stalled. (I don't wanna hear any crap from you guys about going to a car wash! )

As for this car, it could be bad gas, bad ground in the wiring harness, bad plug or wire (or both) or maybe problems with the valves. (Although I haven't heard of problems with the LS-1 and oil blow by, it is a possibility.) I would have it checked out by a mechanic before buying it. Have them run a diagnostic on it, check compression, etc... It's worth the $$ to know what you are dealing with.

If the vibration was there all the time throughout the RPM band, I would look at the torque tube/connections. I believe there are rubber isolators that can go bad on it, but I haven't experinced this and it's just a guess on my part. I'd also check motor mounts, but again, if the engine is running smoooooth, then a bad motor mount wouldn't be as obvious until you put the engine under load. (Step on it.)

Just my .02 worth.

Regards,

Mark

Could be any number of things wrong - I think I would keep looking myself. Yes it is a good price, but you may have more trouble with it than it is worth. Plenty of good examples out there although they may be a bit higher.

Thanks for the info.. I knew that the 1500rpm was high.... my 02 sits at just a hair over 1000rpm.... that is was I thought might attest for the rattle... almost like it wants to take off as soon as u take your foot of the gas. When I stepped on it.... hit about 90+ getting onto the freeway... there was no rattle... so I take the motor mounts were not bad. But the thing that got me... why would the rpm's be so high at idle?? That is something that someone has to mess with to get it to do that.. not something that just happens???
Anyhow.... the vin# is 1G1YY22G6Y5116652 if anyone can give me some hist. on the car.. I would be ever so thankful!

Obviously something is fishy......you said its black but it says its green........I would say no deal, Plus to me 19k from a dealer on a 2000 seems too low anyway.........vettes in maryland are going for 23 with that mileage 97-2000

Don't know about anyone else, but I find the repairs that come up expensive enough without starting with them....

MSD44.....you say that your car idles at a shade over 1000rpm???? Man that is higher than even the big cam guys are running...you may want to have that checked out!! I don't know if you have A4 or MN6 but mine (A4) idles at like 550-600.
