what is wrong with my Solara?

[Solaradude]

64k, automatic, oil change every 3k, one car accident.

my steering wheel and the brake pedal vibrates when I'm at a stop light and the RPM slighty rises....... and it goes away when I put the car in neutral.

have you gotten a tune-up?

[indiglosolara]

you motor mounts might be going out. I had this problem with my old car where 2 motor mounts were broken and whenever i stop in Drive i would get vibration to my steering wheel. Once i replaced it it was fine.
that we be my best guess with the symt. your getting. Second can be tune up like he ^^said.

how many miles did you have on your ride when your motor mounts broke? I thought motor mounts usually gave out around 100k miles

my previous car 95 camry's motor mounts were going out constantly. I had an extended warrenty and they fixed em free of charge.

it was at around 80K or so...

This was on my old car.. not my solara.. Motors mounts breakage depend on the way you drive.. if you go easy on your car and herdly punch it.. your motor mounts can take yout o probably 200K even..

My dads old toyota van never had to replace the motor mounts cuz he never punchs it.. when we sold his car it had over 250k miles on it.. its like one of those old asian drivers that your always stuck behind.. and trying to get around..

[Solaradude]

how much is the motor mounts?

it sounds expensive....

Steve

[MaxBoostSolara]

yea... just how much are they... i think mine r messed up 2 cuz i get the same thing u described earlier

[Solaradude]

?? price???


Steve

[indiglosolara]

im not too sure on the price.. you might wanna ask davpak on this one...

every car is diff.. its not the mounts that are expensive.. its the labor...

[adam2562]

it might be ur idle control valve... but just get a tune-up

[Jai_Jai_Binks]

If you got a 5s motor...small/slight vibs on the steering are for god knows why reason...normal??? I know i have them on my solara (had them on my celica), i know hari here has them on his car too. But the brake vib's thats new...I'd just do a tuneup and work from there. With that said, when i did my 30K mile serive (tranny and differential fluid replacements)..the vib's went down a little. Are all your major services up to date?
