vibration when accelerating up hill

so my car has been doing this for ever ive jsut been to busy to post about it but when im accelerating up hill lets say around 45-55mph it starts to get a vibration or a jiggling thing going i have no idea what it is but it will also do it on occasion while crusing at 55 on a flat service no idea what is going on and for those that dont know
93 olds 88
59k miles
new trans

If it is the motor that seems to be missing at those speeds, then you probably need to check your ICM and coils.

Vibration of the car itself could be a lot of different things. First, get the tires balanced and rotated. Check for slop on the ball joints and tie rod ends and then go from there.

just redid the entire suspension springs, struts, front end alignment, tire balance, and the right front tie rod end... i think that was changed
i didn't do any of this work but i did pay for it :(


OH and lets not forget the front rotor resurface \

new trans
new TPS
new MAF
new IAC
new CAI
new ac delco plugs *STILL HAVE OLD WIRES???*and the air conditioning system converted
new condenser
new radiator
and a Dynomax exhaust

i did do all of that :)


damn i have a lot of stuff in this car


Im thinking its the engine doing all that shaking and vibrating like its misfiring
but on the way to work today i was doing about 75 and i floored it to pass a truck the car bogged down and came back i dont know ill have to scan it again

"Check for slop on the ball joints and tie rod ends and then go from there."
i will get that looked at maybe something is messed up :/

btw this car is not a money pit

its the olds that owns ;)

and i have junker ICM and coils that i pulled from a 92 88 w/189k on it but they looked brand new so i snagged them BUT I would go out and try that right now but its ranning outside so a task for after school tomorrow :-D

The front end should be fine then. I'd go after the ICM and coils next then. You might as well replace the spark plug wires too if they've got more than 60k on them, just don't get really cheap ones to replace them with.

I've had my T for less than a year and I've got somewhere close to 4 grand in it... and I bought it for 600. I'm having to replace just about everything except the body (95% rust free!!!!). Its a fun and very unique car though so I don't mind it too much. Its just too easy to work on to replace it too :) 2 door olds 88's existed too.

I'm suprised that you didn't have the wires replaced,gettim done and demand Delco only.

ok so i did the plug wires as i said before
but i came to a conclusion its not a vibration its more of a jiggling

when i accelerate from 45 to 50 by a swift push down on the peddle
if its the transmission AGAIN ill drive that car up my A$$

could it be powersteering?
