Voxy shaking

[Foxy Voxy]

Hi I'm new to the forum. I have a Toyota Voxy, this is my first Japanese car. I've noticed that when driving it lately that it shakes/vibrates. Can anyone help on what could be the issue?

Perhaps it simply needs the wheels balanced.?..it's where I'd start

I'm not sure if idling problem, it's an automatic, when going at low speed it shakes more.

That's a dfferent sort of shake/vibration than the one I had in mind..lol

Does it shake at idle.?..maybe a MAF issue.?..fuel filter.?..coil pack.?..plugs.?...any EML on.?

Process of elimination I guess...unless you can get a code read.?

To be of help to you we will need more information. When & where & how the shake occurs. Usually you can pinpoint where the shake is. Is the steering wheel shaking from side to side, is the transmission vibrating etc. Try and be more precise when describing your problem. There’s a lot of experience and knowledgeable guys here who if they have all the right information can help.

First time owning an automatic (although have driven automatics for work) Alot of it is front end. Feels like it might cut out if in very low speed or when resting. The rpm seems to be up and down quite often.

A code read would be best....otherwise you are just guessing.

I assume you have no EML illuminated.?...you could of course take to your garage and see what they think.?

Plugs, coil packs, MAF is where I'd start.

No EML. It's going in on Tuesday morning. Hopefully nothing to worry about after just forking out the money for it.

Ok Mike, keep us informed of your progress.

[RUToyota]

Good plan, Mike...let us know how you get on.

Update... Garage had to do it old skool and test each spark plug.. Couple of the spark plugs needed replacing but I got all 4 replaced. Also needed a pencil coil. Running a lot better now. Cheers

Hello. 

What year Voxy was yours. I notice heavy vibrations when in drive or reverse, I understand that the car is in engage, but it vibrates and rattles like crazy. Pick up and rpm are fine. The change in ash tray rattle, the door card rattle. 

Any ideas what that could be, I'm told engine mounts give different feedback. Maybe if I stop I'll feel a gear change when moving off like a small engage or change 

Any ideas

From the OP's profile, their Voxy is a 2005.

Please update your profile to include your Voxy.

Mine is a 2006
