Car shaking when holding the brakes
Does anyone know why when i stop at a stop light or when i just stop my car vibrates. When i put it in neutral it stops. What could be the cause of it?

Ok. This can be fun but it is a pain in the *****. Sounds and shakes in cars are tedious to find.
Ok so it shakes when the car is in gear standing still but not noticable when moving.
I would check:
Motor mounts
Tranny mount
You might not feel this when you are moving because well the car is in motion and you are getting more input.
You can try this if you know where your throttle cable goes to on your intake manifold.
1. Start the car.
2. Open the hood.
3. Place hand on throttle assembly keep your other hand away from the fan it can hurt
4. Give the car a little throttle. Not much as the imput needed to rev it is not much.
5. Release the throttle.
When you rev the car see if the motor moves when you throttle it. There should be some play but not much. If you see that the motor is moving then your motormounts might be sloppy.
This happens more when you are driving because there is torque on the motor.
Also you can just look at the motormounts to see if the rubber is dried cracked or look old as ****.
1992 240sx leads me to think that the mounts can be crapped out.
Good luck dude!
