Hmm One thing that may be over looked on the suspension. Verifu the bolt that is hold the strut on the suspension is tight or not stripped, as this could cause vibration.

if your getting vibration while idling its either improper gapping of the plugs, a coil pack going out or a motor mount. Motor mounts are known to go bad on these cars and would cause that.

The vibration on your car when idling, because your car is miss fire.
Could be the spark plug, coild pack, or the wire

It should.
But if you dont have any check engine lights on, the only thing they can do check if your car ever throw a code or not.
If it did they can check what code.

If the check engine light isnt on, there is nothing to check. It HAS to be on for a code to show up.

It might be because your car idling to low.
Or maybe the motor mount.
Cuz the motor mount should absorb the vibration the engine make.

I feel like such a proud parent,,our little Phee has grown so much in a few short years

From 'did I screw up my paint?' to master detailer
from `my engine runs rough`-to trans installer and TL 6 speed swapmaster!

Will he leave home now??,,going to Lexus U, or to backpack around Europe in a Bimmer
