shaky idling

[dodongo]

my 84 190e gas' idling has become shaky, after my driver had it fixed, yung pinaayos nya sa clutch yata eh.. nakikita sa makina at nararamdaman talaga ng driver yung shake eh. what's the problem?

have the carburator checked and adjusted (inspect the jets).

What gasoline have you been using?

last time I gassed up, I used blaze. I think my dad used to get SILVER from caltex.

That could be the cause. Drain (if not use up) the remaining fuel in the tank and revert back to Caltex SILVER or Petron XCS. The mix of fuel with different octane rating may have caused this.

The wrong kind / type of fuel is one thing ... BUT ...

here's a short list of possible concerns as well:

* sparkplugs .. (one maybe misfiring)
* timing .. (off timing can cause low idle / shaking)
* high tension cables .. (worn / current jumping)
* engine supports .. loose or torn (pina-ayos ang clutch diba? baka nakalimutan higpitan)
* transmission supports .. "same as engine support"

my thoughts.

thanks guys, the fuel change seems to have fixed the problem
