Hi,
I have an early P38 DT which suffers from engine vibration/shake not too serious but annoying. This happens anywhere between 1200 and 1500rpm when the engine isn't working very hard, it feels like the engine is only running on half the cylinders. It idles fine and runs fine above 1500rpm and the vibration is less of noticable at 1200-1500rpm if hte engine is working hard. It doesn't matter which gear I'm in. I have heard of some diesel engine suffering from 'engine wobble' I wondered if this is what I'm experiencing or could it be insufficient fuel? Should I try putting some injector cleaner through it? I'm pretty sure its always done this (I've had the car about 3 years) but I'm sure it is worse now.
Any suggestions as to what to look for?
TIA,
mikeateves
