Weird Idle.. any ideas..

The best that I can explain it in words is that, when my car is on, fully warmed up, the car is in park, the engine "shutters" very gently, just enough to feel a slight vibration when sitting inside. It shutters in rhythm inbetween pauses of smooth idle. I can notice only when I really pay attention. My car is an 03' with 40k miles. Could it be that i have to clean out something already?! EGR or something like that? I'm not sure.

i have an 03 TLs with 50k miles and it does the same thing when in park, or neutral, but doesn't seem to happen in drive. It must be normal.

Mine does it too but I know also if you have the AC on it you can feel that more and you can feel that switch on and off.
