Hey guys, my 2013 LFX V6 Camaro's Engine RPM is unstable (Between 500-600 goes up and down) this also causes the engine to shake and the shakes could be felt inside the car.
No check engine light is on and i have the OBD to provide you info if needed.
do you have any suggestions ?? i believe it could be the spark plugs or the injection nozzle

please watch the video below and help me.

Mine does that too but I think it's fine as I have great performance from it. Engine doesn't shake.

It didn't look too bad on the video but if its shaking when stopped or when your slowly rolling then it could definitely be a spark plug. Went through to many of them on my 95.

Take to service department at local dealer.... walk up to service manager, tell him what's wrong and say..."Fix it please"! Always works for me!

Bro if i had to demonstrate your sarcasm in a smiley face it would've been (

)

let me tell you my reasons ..

1- I don't live in the U.S.
2- I don't trust mechanics here.
3- Obviously i want to fix it myself rather than depending on others my whole life

4- My car is out of warranty

I really dont see an issue there, its normal for rpms to fluctuate

i started getting worried after feeling the shakes inside the car when i make a complete stop at the traffic light even when the gear is in Neutral.

Mine shakes a little at the stop light as well. Been happening since the day I bought it with 17 miles on odometer. You should be ok.

I hear ya. but you have to remember that these cars are gonna shake a little more than a small economy car lol. price of power my friend

dmginc · 01-14-2016, 01:36 PM

the low rpm's creates the shake but your rpm's are where they are supposed to be.

ir0nman11 · 01-14-2016, 04:03 PM

the car should not shudder like an old bus when it comes to a stop. My 2014 ls does not do that, you should probably have it checked out at a few different mechanics and make note of what they say (not necessarily have them do anything to the car yet) so you can compare their responses
