I have a question about the vibration in my car. It feels very rough when the car is on. I feel the vibrations of the engine I was wondering what can I do to solve this problem.

I assume that by "engine vibration" you mean idle. There is nearly a million and one things that can cause a rough idle. What year car or engine do you have? When does it vibrate abnormally (ex.: when sitting at a red light or when revving)? Have you done anything to the car recently? Is your check engine light on?

actually I feel the rough idle the most when I have like about an hour driving it. also when I turn the car on it stays on for a cool ten seconds then its stars to turn off on me. I have to rev the engine for a cool ten second so it wont die.

I would check my IACV (intake air control valve) and TPS (throttle position sensor). Definitely do a tune up then check back. Is your check engine light coming on?
