Hey guys, i searched a bunch but all the threads I found were fairly old. Just curious because I've noticed a little shaking at idle when the a/c is off, which causes the idle to drop to around 600-700 RPM (which is normal). The whole car seems to shake a little like when you rev it up in neutral.

It seems like this would be normal, since the motor is a V mounted along the middle of the car.

So I'm just curious, does anyone else have this?

 

Yes, but you should hardly notice it. You must be really trying hard . Have you ever sat in a car with say a HEMI V8? Those rock the car at idle to. It should only be slight otherwise get out, open the hood and check it out. There should be no knocking. Maybe you should get some fuel cleaner the next time you fill up? Do that a couple times to see if it calms it down.

 

yeah it's very very slight, i'm pretty sure it's normal

i've been driving a fwd inline 4 for the past 6 years, so i'm not used the power yet!

 

As long as there is no "pinging" or "knocking" noise that is pretty normal. Just about every car I have been in will shake from the engine reving up. How much of a rev are you talking? Red line?

 

no i'm talking about when it's sitting at idle around 600 RPM

you can feel it barely shaking and the RPMs vary a tiny bit

 

You car has too much power, share some for the members.

 

no, it's all mine!
