I was wondering if anyone has felt this, this is my first ever GM car and I ask because, my 07 GT was very smooth back when it was stock you could barely tell it was on at idle.

Oh thats good to know thanks, also since you have a twin of my car thers another thing I've been forgetting to ask, you know how the mirrors change to a greenish color at night?? Do all 3 mirrors do it?? cuase my passenger side mirror is not doing it. Just the center and driver's side.

I'm not sure as I haven't driven it at night much. I think I did see something posted about the inside mirror should auto dim and the drivers side mirror should auto dim .. however I could be wrong .. let me see if I can find that thread.

Shake is normal. You're at idle sitting on top of 426hp!!! Shake is good!!!!

JewelZ · 07-13-2009, 12:36 PM

I don't think that right sideview mirror changes, but I could be wrong. I don't see why GM would make em like that, I think the passenger side view should be auto-dimming as well, it's not like it for the passenger convinience it's made for the driver.

Thanks it seems only the drivers side and center should dim.

It looks like to me that shaking at idle is not entirely correct. I have checked 2 cars with L99 engine from a rent-a-car and they doesn't have any shakings, that could be felt on the seats (that I have for a 2 years of ownership).

When I had 3.6 LFX, I also had shaking at idle, with random jerks without any ECM error or check engine light. I replaced the whole set of chains and the shaking went away.

Now I have a similar situation on my L99. The shaking intensifies if I agressively drive and then stop at a traffic light. I changed motor mounts but no result. Also checked with smoke generator for the air leakage and found nothing. In our local GM service they checked an oil pressure on the VVT and found great results (currenly use 5w40, 108K mileage).

Check engine light is not comes on, however, error P0011-00 constantly sits in the ignition system chapter in the ECM. Also in 8 cases of 10 I have "Service Stabilitrak" message that comes on during cranking then dissapear. To eliminate it I crank starter slightly longer that usual.

As I know, P0011-00 is related to the VVT sprocket and / or timing chain and / or camshaft position. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Correct. Drivers and rear are the only dimming mirrors. The passenger does not.
