yesterday i had my timing belt, and both idler pulleys replaced. i drove the car around for about 10 to 20 miles after that and it was fine, but when i came home and parked my car after that i noticed a slight squeeking sound coming from the belt side of the engine. later i was on my way home and the engine started vibrating hard and i could feel it in the pedals and steering wheel. does anybody know what can be wrong?

Is it idling rough? The timing belt could have jumped teeth and it is out of time now, I would take it back.

j/w what was up with it.

in most cases poeple over tighten old belts ( aka alt. ac belts) and that cause extra strain in the engine. press on the belts and see if they are too tight.

it idles fine, and doesnt vibrate too roughly until about 3k. i was looking at it today and discovered a missing bolt in the left engine mount! some idiot forgot to put it back.

i was looking at the belts, how tight should they be?

Belts are fine they won't cause your car to vibrate, your problem is the missing engine mount bolt.
