    Hello,
    06 2.7L Tacoma
    2WD


    Noticed this morning at a stoplight some small shakes of the engine as I took my foot of the brake to inch forward. The vibrations then went away as I got up to speed, and came back at the next stoplight. I was close enough to home to turn around. Since I got back, I restarted the car, RPM's now idle around 600-800 in park, and then as I reverse out the driveway slowly, the shakes come back, and then proceed to go away as I drive down the street.

    Going through forums I see it could be ignition coil, engine or tranny mount, spark plugs, or even an air flow issue.

    I have attached a video of the engine shaking, this shakes as the pedal is pushed.

    Worth risking driving to AutoZone to try and get codes? Do the sounds indicate any issue?

    Thank you.

    That's a misfire, need to find out which cylinder it is.

    I've always found that mine has a hard time relearning its idle whenever the weather changes. As long as it has oil, its safe to run. Bring it up to operating temperature and drive it around a bit and see if it eventually self corrects. If it is a misfire rather than just idling too low, it will throw a code after a few times, which should indicate which cylinder is giving you a hard time.

    100% an engine misfire. Always start cheap and easy, find which cylinder is missing, then plugs, then wires, coils on up to injectors. Pull plugs and the tubes are full of oil, valve cover gasket/plug seals. Next would be scoping the engine cylinder/piston tops/valve heads and taking a compression reading. Hopefully you don't need to go that far.
