engine overheating, car shakes violently?
engine overheating, car shakes violently? well lately my temp gauge has been going nuts, it will go all the way up and say my car is overheating and it seemed fine and would go right back down again. when i got my alignment the local shop looked at my car and said nothing was wrong. then it did it again yesterday. then today...i had off, weather was nice so what do i do? went for a little cruise and well, the gauge went all the way up and stayed there for about 10 minutes until i realized the car was shaking. it did this the other day slightly in my driveway when i started it but thought nothing of it because i stopped right away. but today was different, the car was really shaking. the mirrors looked like i had an 18 inch sub in the trunk so i dropped it off and the shop and coolant was pouring out (remember the shop said absolutely nothing was wrong, even when i mentioned that the coolant level was down from what it was). so my question is how would a coolant leak make the car shake, was the engine just that hot? also could this cause my car to bog down a bit when i give it gas if i have a problem like this?
Yeah when my fans stopped working and my car started to overheat it bogged down alot cause it was so hot and I dunno bout overheating making the car shake cause it didn't mine. But it could be broken belts in the tires or they might need balanced.

nah tires were just put on, theyve got about 1k miles on em. its not them, thats why im stumped and have no idea what it is...ive never seen/heard or experience anything like this before i just dont know whats going on with it...

By unplugging them your just letting the car run in open loop, which is warmup period.
By unplugging them you can tell if the 02's are bad.
unplug them, if the car runs better, then you need new 02's, if not move on to the next part, ignition.

thanks.....im going to try that!
yes it was very sluggish and jerky, so you guys would recommend i also should check 02 sensors if the problem keeps up? the car is currently getting a blown head gasket taken care of. well see whats going on with it once thats finished.
im having the same problem my car was runnin hotter dan normal(220-230) so i got a coolent flush and it got worse(240-250) so i got it checked, made my car burp like 6 time same thing happend< when i left the shop it was 160* and within 5 min it shot up to like 230* but when u hit on the gas it starts to cool down a bit then when ur at a stop it shoots back up i dont mean to thread hijack but im very consernd about this and we also bileave its a blown hed gasket but it could also be my water pump but im goin to try and replace my thermesat 2marow

the reason the temp goes up and then down when you hit the gas is because the water pump is spinning faster and flowing a larger mass of coolant. cooling the sensor
