JaeGT Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I just noticed that on drives more than 90mins and hot weather my car starts to pulsate/vibrate in intervals and the fans sound like they're full blasting. Seems to happen when i'm sitting at a stop/idle after driving for the long period of time. Anyone know what could be the issue? I checked my fans and seemed ok. Thanks for any input. I think bringing it to the dealer is moot because i don't want them driving in my car for 90mins just to replicate the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The vibration/pulsating happens when you're just sitting there idling after the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeGT Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 The vibration/pulsating happens when you're just sitting there idling after the drive? Yep. After driving more than 90 mins in weather above 80. I sit at a red light and the fans become louder and the whole car vibrates/pulsates in like 2-5 min intervals. Kinda getting me worried. This doesn't happen on short trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaeGT Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 is the A/C on when this is happening? Happened when a/c was off or on. I wouldn't know what to check under the hood =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well, I mean, just stick your head under the hood and listen for the noise, see if you can narrow it down, see which direction it's coming from at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeGT Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'll try to narrow the source when I encounter the issue again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I hav noticed this on a few drives here where it's 100f+. Motor just doesn't feel as smooth. Since I have no check lights I've ignored it and will see what happens when it cools back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowwill Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Just the heat putting a load on the car I guess. My other vehicle makes did it also especially when the a/c is on. On my Eclipse I would have to turn the a/c off to climb hills lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
