    Im not really sure wahts wrong with the car. actually its a van, I know i didnt wan to admit it earlier. its a 98 dodge caravan but the mechanic just said something was wrong with the # cylinder that it wasnt working properly. about the shaking i have already had it alligned and the tires re-balanced and rotated. I have not gotten the emmisions done yet but i was just wondering if itcould cause the emmisions to fail due to the cylinder not working properly..

    as far as vibration . then u might want to check your front suspention. like 3kgt mention . and

    i think the mechanic should have told you what was wrong with the cylinder ex; no compression . no fuel, leaking valves burn valves ect.ect .. i worked on a on a 2001 ford windstar v6 , before she had me fix it . she took it to a shop . it was hesitating MIL light was on and idleling fuked. anyway they told her her fuel pump was bad . no other explanation . turn out i hooked up a scan tool running lean in 2 cylinders, and LTFT was compansating tot he max riching it out . any way long story short turn out to be a vaccum leak that wasnt noticeable looked at it for some time till i figured it out .
    get a second opinion . or test the cylinder urself . CLT for mechanical problems . or a nice scanner for electrical .
    adn i still think it will effect emmsions. hope this helps some what LOL
