I have a 1999 4R with the 4 cylinder engine. Just in the past couple of days it has developed a bad vibration and I have no idea what it is.
It happens when I am accelerating under stress, like going up a hill for example. It seems to happen mainly above 30 mph. I can be cruising along fine but when I accelerate to increase speed or to go up a hill I start getting crazy vibrations and it almost feels as if the engine is bogging down and sputtering under stress as I accelerate. I don't think the engine is really sputtering, I think the vibrations make it seem that way. I can't tell if its the engine or what. It seems to smooth out at certain speeds, as long as I am not accelerating hard.
When the car is in park I can rev the engine as much as it can stand and it doesn't vibrate. It idles fine and seems to run smooth as silk.
Does anyone have any idea what this vibration can be?
