[Toyota_Celica_97]

hi everyone i was hoping some can help me out of this trouble.

okay my car.

like when i start the car and change to from parking to drive: the car start to shake for like 3 sec then stop and i just notice that some smoke come out of the muffler when it shake. and it shake really hard like its going to die on me.

maybe battier? or the trans?

i think he was asking what RPM you are at when in park, and it's also good to know how low it drops when you go to drive(for that three seconds).

sounds like there's an issue switching between gears. I never learned automatics much, but I LOVE blaming stuff like this on them. So i'll just say it's the Tq Converter . The problem just sounds like there's a hesitation to switch gears, and while there is, the power is still being sent through the drivetrain. (like shifting without pushing in the clutch).

this could be way off...like i said, I don't do Automatics.
