my 91 camaro 305 vibrates when im like at a stop light it feels like it runs fine and vibrating stops when i acclerate and while im driving it wont do it when its in park just drive could it just be that the headers are sitting agsindt the body and makes it shake or what?

Re: car vibrates when in gear and stopped

couldbe, its a tight fit, headers are in these cars. My l98 is slightly higher,than it should be maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch after my v6 to v8 swap, and the headers are close only on the pass side above the control arm. Mine sometimes seem to hit when i take of at low rpms with my t-5. check all mounts

Re: car vibrates when in gear and stopped

yea i kno the headers sitting against sum of the body im gonna try and grind it so its not touchin as much also the check engine light comes on after driving it for awhile. im thinkin that is the o2 sensor picking up the minor exhaust leak i have or the 02 sensor is gettin heated up from the headers it runs fine no sputter or wnting to die when the lights on jusdt annoying to have it come on

p.s. car shakes in all gears except p and n any ideas
