Hey folks. As you can see I am new to the club and seeking some expert advise. I cant imagine this hasn't been brought up in the past. When I am accelerating I get a vibration in the steering and front end primarily 2nd and 3rd gear and while cruising I feel a slight surge or inconsistent increase/decrease in the engine like fuel?
It almost feels like she's running on 3 cylinders and reduced power. Doesn't seem to be present in higher RPM's?? I am getting ready to send the injectors out for rebuild next. I am running out of options and cash$$$$$ Any direction would be greatly appreciated. |

You may have something going on with engine but lowered MINIs can get vibration from the drive axles.
If you are noticing a loss in power, this sometimes can happen due to burned valves. Starts out as a minor inconsistency in power but will eventually throw a code.
