Q: Wont remote start and shaking like crazy when manual start

asked by on December 01, 2016

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD. I went to start it yesterday morning and it wouldn't remote start so when I manually started it the check engine light came on and the entire car was shaking like it was about to fall apart. Any ideas?
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hi there:

Usually if the engine is hard to start and once it does, it shakes pretty violently, it’s due to a vacuum leak, or a fuel system sensor that is causing this to occur. The only way to really determine the exact source of your problem is to have a professional mobile mechanic complete a car is hard to start inspection.
