Default Idol vibration

My car has pretty much always had a decent amount of vibration and idol and you can defiantly hear when your sitting there and the rpms are steady. Didn't know id this was normal or not. Thanks

His idol is vibrating. A vibrating idol is an angry idol, and is best left alone unless you are presenting him an offering of some sort. lol

Ohhhhhhh....you think he may have meant idle then? That makes more sense, actually!
Pete, you rarely pass up an opportunity to kick someone, albeit nicely, in the nuts.

thanks Z28 Pete for voicing my concern too.

jrgearhead , your motor mounts may be shot.
