Rumbling Sound

Post by davolvo »

Hi everyone. I was wondering what would cause a rumble in my 96 Volvo 960. I start it and it starts to vibrate and sounds like buhbuhbuhbuhbuh; once it warms up it runs normal. If feels like it is vibrating side to side. The fuel pump is new, plugs are new and I am leaking some oil. Any ideas? Thank you!

Have you checked your engine mounts?

No, but would it stop vibrating after it warms up if it were the engine mounts?
