Question
When reaching speed of over 60mph, the front end of my car begins to shake. This just started happening 2 days ago & the check engine light came on today.

Answer
Terrance,
  I'm sorry to take so long to get back with you. I have personal issues going on. I need to turn off the All Experst stuff.
  I'm NOT a Tech but will offer these thoughts for your consideration. My Profile states I'm a Parts Expert, NOT a Tech.
  The only thing I can think of is you have lost a wheel weight causing one of the front tires to vibrate. This may be causing the knock sensor, attached to the engine, to relay this vibration to the computer and send a "check engine" light. Again, I'm NOT A TECH.
   If checking the front tires for balance doesn't work, I'd ask a Tech in All Experts..
   Good luck..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
