Clueless about this problem.

Got a clio, basically, its shaking far more than it should be.
Ticks over beautifully, shakes and shakes, like really shakes, like being on a fairground ride.
Sounds like its going to cut out but it never does.
If you leave it running, it slowly gets better but still shakes too much than it should.
The second the engine is turned off and back on, it starts shaking a stupid ammount again.
It's had its pistons cleaned, new spark plugs e.t.c.

Coilpack?

 

[Typhoon]

Thats been checked and seems fine.

Injector maybe

Had it's pistons cleaned? So im guessing the head has been off for some reason? It could be an air leak from the head comign off, does it have a higher than normal idle?

 

[Typhoon]

Yeah, the heads been off.
There is a slight movement on the rev counter without any gas being applied.

We thought maybe because the pistons are cleaned there is no coating but needed it to be verified.

Thanks for all the help, managed to sort it this morning, had it up on the ramps, was a worn bush.
Being replaced now.

I had a similar problem before and it was due to the fact that it was cold and wasn't getting used!
