Shaking today---what the hell?
Ok so i havent driven my car in 4 days because I had to get my wisdom teeth out...worst 4 days of my life. well today, i started it up and the steering wheel and front end of the car was shaking a bit at idle...the same thing happened in reverse and then in drive...after taking off (besides the usual transmission malfunction) the car ran fine. When I stopped, it wasnt rough anymore...I stopped somewhere and came back and the car started with a bit of a shake and after revving it a few times, it stopped...what the hell is wrong with it now? engine mounts? fuel system was cleaned last year. After my errands today, it hasnt done it since but damn! is there a bigger problem behind this?
oh yea and at idle, the car kept sounding like it was going to cut off...the rpm needle kept moving up and down slightly like it was choking, but that went away.

With these cars, it's almost always one or the other

i started it up today and it didnt do it...maybe it needed to be driven on the highway or something? then again i didnt drive it in 4 days...would the TPS have anything to do with the transmission? I hate dealing with the delayed shifting and jolting when its cold. When its warm, its fine so I dont know...its just annoying to deal with every morning luckily the car is pretty enough for me to deal with it haha
