You must F..F...F...F......F.....F....Fix that stutter if you want some peace and quiet

Could it be something to do with that speed pulse wire that you had previously enquired about?

Are all the electrical connections on the plugs and coils good and tight?

It appears that you are running the Yaris on a limited budget............(Fitting a nearly new exhaust last year)

When was the last time the Yaris had a full service?............................It might be a good idea to get an "independent" garage to carry out a tuning /service. This may identify the cause of the steering shake which could simply be a need to balance the wheels.

It looks like you might just have to prise open your wallet if you really want some peace and quiet. ;) :D

Good luck

i would check your spark plugs and leeds first dude! as for steering wheel, you may need to get your wheels balenced and checked, and check your brake disks also spesh if its shakin when your slowing down, these are a few of the things i would check.

That is exactly what I told him YESTERDAY:
