car vibrating like crazy!
 
Okay pulled in one day car's fine no issues what so ever.
Next morning puleed out and noticed the motor is shaking a lot so I thought maybe its not warmed up yet.waited for a bit and left but noticed while at a stop the whole car is vibrating more than usual and when I take off from a stop its vibrating like crazy.

By the way I tried to check timimg but I couldn't see the timing mark on the crank pullie I think it got rubbed off.hoe can I mark it?

When an engine starts shaking for no apparent reason, it most likely is misfiring. Many reasons for misfire, but checking the ignition is a good palce to start.

I agree with Pete sounds like a misfire to me

I had this happen to my truck. Ended up being a cracked head. Oil and coolant were getting into the cylinder and it would not fire. I hope that its not that serious for you.

Sometimes when that happens you can get hydrolock and the pressure won't let your engine turn over I've seen it once

Thanks guys so after close inspection on engine mount and tranny mount its all good. But you guys are right I had a miss fire on #7 and #8 like I said I pulled in it was good then the next morning started shaking. Anyways checked wires made sure there pushed in all the way and checked timing. Timing mark on pullie was far from the timing mark on the timing chain cover gasket gauge.I tried to correct it but dist won't rotate any furhter so I Tried to pull out the dist and move one teeth but I couldnt(not like a ford engine, am I Doing this wrong?) so I kept it at the same spot but instead I moved the spark plug wires one spot over counter clockwise to see if that will compensate for the timing. Althought it runs good that didn't help either. So no iam thinking maybe my timing mark is on the wrong spot?usually the timing mark on the timing chain cover is towards the 1 pr 2 o'clock possition right? Is there maybe one pn the 11 9r 1w o'clock?
