I recently just had my motor replaced with an 04 mustang gt, when i got the car back i drove it and when the car is decelerating i feel like the front end is shaking kinda does it in idle and the mechanic said it might have aftermarket cams, could he be right or is it BS?

i dont think cams cause the engine to shake under deceleration...mine dont anyway...you could pull the valve covers and check but i have no idead how you cold tell them apart from the stockers

Click to expand...

do you know somethin that could cause the engine or front end to shake at start up or low acceleration. Maybe i need a tune?

The car does have an exhaust leak on the passenger side, could it have something to do with that

If it shakes at idle or startup it is most likely a broken motor mount or a fouled plug causing a miss.

+1 id replace all the plugs and see if that changes anything...check your motormounts too...probably gonna be hard to look at..inspect your coilpacks as well...you could have a bad boot or coil pack..you can buy all brand new boots when you buy plugs and do that together..waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper then buying new cop's
