2006 Scion tC 5-speed Manual

138,000 miles

Whenever sitting in idle, often here an there, engine shakes.  Happens more often when the A/C is on.  I’ve read forums and nearly everyone said that there car has done it since brand new and even does it on super low mileage tC’s.  Spill ur thoughts on this, thanks 🙂

Realize that many of those had weak pistons in them and they'll often do the shakes. But do check to see if any motor mounts are broken and if you have any vacuum leaks on the intake making it shake at idle


Will do, before buying the car, I checked to see if there was the recall for the pistons/ burning oil etc... and nothing showed any recalls under my VIN number. I couldn't pass this car up, exterior, interior, and mechanicals are in immaculate condition.
