Facing problems on your car is particularly bothersome, in addition to the financial aspect that these concerns represent, one must also add the time lost with a non-functional Toyota Sequoia and the time spent to establish and fix the malfunction. On the other hand, some problems are less significant than others, which is not to say that they do not worry us. In this article we are going to take a look at a trouble that can affect most of us, perceiving vibrations at acceleration on Toyota Sequoia. This trouble can sometimes be hard to perceive but it must be dealt with. We will so start our article with the roots of these vibrations on Toyota Sequoia, then, with the answers you have to reduce or stop these tremors.
Why does my Toyota Sequoia emit vibrations when accelerating?
So let’s start our article with the roots of this sort of trouble on your car. You should already know that an engine, specifically if it is ancient or if it has been driven quite a bit, can naturally vibrate without being a trouble behind it. Large diesel engines, specifically those with a lot of torque, can provoke this sort of impression, both at idle and when accelerating.
I feel vibrations on my Toyota Sequoia only when accelerating
Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this article. The simple fact that you feel trembling on your Toyota Sequoia during your acceleration phases, in this situation you will have to verify the state of different elements because several of elements can be at the beginning of these vibrations and even if you are unfortunate a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be concerned.
- Turbo: If the turbo of your Toyota Sequoia is defective, it may provoke vibrations that you will suffer when you accelerate at the moment it is turned on.
- The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will manage the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may bother the behavior of your turbo and develop vibrations that you may come to feel at the time of acceleration of your Toyota Sequoia.
- If the turbo is punctured or injured, the end result will be the same, the power supply of your turbo will be troubled and its behavior too. Remember to visually check their condition.

I’m having vibrations on my Toyota Sequoia at acceleration and deceleration
We will now concentrate on the case where you come to feel vibrations on your Toyota Sequoia when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only come to feel vibrations when you are idling on your Toyota Sequoia, please have a look at our article focused on this trouble to get rid of your problem. If, alternatively, you detect that your Toyota Sequoia vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of components to check:
- EGR valve: Indeed this valve which manages the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and affect the evacuation of exhaust gases which can provoke Toyota Sequoia vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
- Injectors: Your injectors that control the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will generate the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working effectively, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running correctly.
- Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is blocked it will not let the fuel pass correctly and therefore affect the performance of your Toyota Sequoia, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.
Here are the main motives of a Toyota Sequoia that vibrates at acceleration
What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Toyota Sequoia? What can I do?
To conclude, in this last part, we will give you the possibilities available to you to overcome these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt according to the part that is involved:
- Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Toyota Sequoia, it will be good for you to control all the parts linked to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and generally the trouble does not come exclusively from the turbo. So be sure to check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Toyota Sequoia to your garage.
- EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is often times easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always examine it and clean it, for this see our article on cleaning the EGR valve of an Toyota Sequoia.
- Injectors: Injectors are very delicate parts and a few harmful particles may be enough to affect their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
- Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, only replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will basically have to replace it with a new one.
Now you have all the information you need to uncover the cause of the vibrations at acceleration on your Toyota Sequoia. If you don’t feel able to perform certain procedures don’t hesitate to go to your technician.
