balance shaft ?'s

[2fast4u450]

just picked up a 04 srt4 today and was getting alot of dash shaking. if i pushed the clutch in while at a roll it would go away and all was good, no shaking at idle unless i revved it up. so im starting to think the balance shafts r out of time, could this be it? the guy i got it from told me he had dodge put a clutch kit in it, no slipping and pulls really hard at 21psi. thanks for any help

Is this your first neon?

It probably has solid motor mounts which will cause a vibration that you will eventually get used too.

Like mentioned its most likely solid mounts. Open the hood and check or take a pic if your unsure and we'll let u know.

ill take a pic of the upper and lower mount, how can i tell if the turbo is stock? and for the 93 octane tune is 21psi right on stock turbo? i got a diablo tuner with it but have no clue how to use it.

the 93tune would put u in the 20+psi spike range depending on weather. Does the car have a wideband gauge? If not, get one asap.

yeah, it stays around 14.7 to 14.8

What does it read at wide open throttle?

ok, it was all over the place from 13.5, 14.2, 14.8, 14.9 and at one point it penned and had no reading just dashes ----
I do have a greddy boost controller but dont know how to work it. i really just need to find a tune shop in the nky/cincinnati area. i dont think the guy i got it from knew what he was doing at all. i wish people woudnt mess with stuff they dont know nothing about.

Its's reading that high at WOT?

Wide Open Throttle (while u floor it).

The "--" should be when you're decelerating i believe, or when you kick it to Neutral.

[tunerlover3]

Stop going wot.

You need to check out what is causing the wideband to read that high. What kind of wideband is it?

If the AFR was actually that lean though, you would have blown the motor already.

Take some pics of the exhaust to see where the wideband sensor is in the exhaust.

[khaoSrt4]

Damn that's lean just stop flooring it the love love of god. Turn down the boost till you get your afrs right

You've never been in a car that vibrated this much and you still bought it.Now after buying the car your doing research

yeah i couldnt pass it up, iv been looking for one for about a month and had to drive 2 1/2 hours to get this one. but after doing some research i found out it has solid motor mounts. there is zero play with the motor.
