Hello, whenever the car is climbing a slight grade, it starts to vibrate. Do you know what caused this to happen?
Thank you.

Hi,

It sounds like you have a misfire. Does the check engine lamp turn on or flash? Does it vibrate when you are accelerating?

Also, if the check engine light stays on while the engine is on, you should have the computer scanned for diagnostic trouble codes.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

If you don't have a scan tool, most parts stores will do it free of charge for you.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
