Under acceleration, no problem. On the Super Slab up to 95-100 fine. It idles fine. We replaced wires, plugs, coil, all four CO2 sensors, ERG valve, ERG sensor, cam and crank sensors, three injectors, cooling fan motor. It’s at the third shop now. I know other guys with the same thing.
I’ve got a ’93 Honda Accord while sitting at red light, or just ideling in the driveway, the steering wheel shakes quite hard. I’ve been up, down, in, and out of the column and yet I can’t figure out what’s going on. Any advice?

I have a 98 Cavalier. I bought it with a bad timing chain, put a new timing chain and tensioner on it, and before it quit running, it was making a noise that sounded like the timing chain did when I bought it.
I have a 98 Cavalier. I bought it with a bad timing chain, put a new timing chain and tensioner on it, and before it quit running, it was making a noise that sounded like the timing chain did when I bought it. But, as I mentioned, it quit running. I was going 65mph, it died and would not start, and still will not start. I attempted to read the codes in it, and it had none. It has fire, and I intend to check for compression and fuel. Any ideas what would cause the timing chain to make that noise, or why it died?
