does anyone know what can cause this i cleaned the throttle with the cleaner a week ago and the car was running good and i parked it for a whole week until today i drove it for a bit and now when i turn it off everytime i feel the car vibrate can it be the mounts or something? it doesnt shake when i drive or anything,
and
second problem is when i keep pressing my window switches everything dims for some reason this happened last time and i had my altenator replaced to a rebuilt one so what do you guys think it is the battery?

 

electrical guesses = bad news
Easy to go have the system tested for free at major parts stores everywhere

what do you mean cleaned throttle- seafoam procedure or removed air snout to TB and cleaned it that way?
Ck for loose hose clamps -vac line off

suspect last work done before new problem suddenly appearing

 

"....keep pressing my window switches everything dims..."

Do you mean the windows operate ok and the lights dim? Or they don't work? What's the battery voltage? How old is it?

 

Yea the windows and everthings work just the interior light dim I am not sure what the baterry voltage is going to check it tommorow

 

please report back with those numbers
Still waiting to hear how you cleaned the throttle???

 

I know what you mean it happens to me too if I focus on the noise, but keep in mind my last two cars were honda accords 1999 and 1996 and they did the same thing, where I could hear the shudderish dimming of lights when I use the windows.

 

get your battery cable cleaner stuff (baking soda and water, wire brush or sandpaper or proper terminal cleaning tool)
remove cables and get those shiny at battery connections

make sure you have radio and nav security codes before removal of cables

Ck those battery cables along their length= parts store can test resistance as part of free inspection with special tool

have the entire system tested--its free!!!!!!

its normal for things to dim when load is added at idle- try hitting the ac on and it should do the same thing
the alt doesnt put out enough below 1500 rpm to do more than operate the engine systems
add lights, windows-tunes,,all big amp draw - many people hit 2 or 4 window switches together- major amp load!

 

to clean the throttle i just removed my intake and started the car and started spraying the cleaning spray and kept reving the engine and for the battery im gonna go tommrow get it tested out maybe its weak but i still cant figure out why the car vibrates when i turn the car off and also the intake doesnt seem to sound the same now like before when i turn my car off the intake would make a nice sound now it makes a sound also but just not the same

 

ok so you sprayed (insert actual product used) thru the TB while revving- now it doesnt sound the same and has shutoff problems

Sounds like one of the hoses/lines removed to get the air snout tube off, isnt hooked back up right
ck for bad hose ends allowing leaks
ck hose clamps at TB and air box top
ck master vac port at TB has good connect of its hose

 

or your fouled a plug

- how many miles on them
did you do a blow out drive after cleaner used?

ever read the seafoam DIY?

 

if your lights are dimming when you press a switch you have a poor ground somewhere - Most likely at the interior fuse box.

 

in response to the throttle cleaner issue, I'm not familiar yet with the construction of these engines (just got mine Saturday), but you usually want to avoid spraying cleaner directly into electrical sensors like the MAF or idle air sensor (usually at the throttle body on engines). That's probably what happened in your case - and should work itself out. If not you may need to have a sensor replaced or the throttle body serviced.

 

welcome dukie- thanks for your input-- but as you said- first TL engine for you.
This subject has been well covered in the past

Its ok to spray cleaner thru the TB throat, (or master vac port)
even suggest cleaning of the air plate in TB goes with intake system cleaning (seafoam)

its important to do a `spirited afterdrive` to blow out the loosened stuff or it can rest on the O2 sensor or other bits and cause running issues

try more cleaner thru gas in max dose strength-- I would use redline or seafoam at 1 can to 8 gallons gas- thats a tick under half tank on guage as we hold 17.3

otherwise its clean IACV and that should fix it today~

note for new owners- the `low fuel` light comes on at 3 gal remaining of which 2.5-2.7 is useable..should get 40-50 miles to find a station
thats as far as most have pushed it- really bad to run a TL out of gas!!

I reset a trip meter when the fuel light comes on,, and keep an eye open for my favorite brand sometime that day
