2000 Mercury Sable 100k Shaking Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine Troubleshooting zmasterflex User Aug 11, 2009, 10:44 PM Post #1 of 3 (3640 views) 2000 Mercury Sable 100k Shaking Sign In Greetings all, 2000 Sable's engine shakes (3.0 V6 DOHC). Mechanic says its a dead cylinder and the engine is shot. I was just wondering what the difference is between the shaking thats caused by a bad motor mount (like my car) the shaking caused by a bad harmonic balancer (friends car) and shaking caused by a dead cylinder. Is there an easy way to tell, or is this something you need 10 years of experience for? Thanks for any help.....

Diagnose this (should have already been done) before swapping out the whole engine you asked about it another thread, T Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Aug 12, 2009, 12:46 PM Post #3 of 3 (3628 views) Re: 2000 Mercury Sable 100k Shaking Sign In zmaster; There are a 'multitude' of reasons that the cylinder could be misfiring. Too much fuel, or not enough (injector, vacuum leak, ect.) I'd recommend getting a second opinion. On these engines, it is very common for an injector to become plugged. I'd want to see what the HC readings are. If low, that means that the cylinder is not getting fuel. If high, could mean a valve, vacuum leak, or faulty injector. More diagnosis is needed.
