Hey guys,

So as I sit in my car, stopped while in drive, the car shakes a tiny tiny bit for a fraction of a second every now and then. The RPM goes up like 300 rpm. It is not violent whatsoever, I just can't imagine this being normal. I just changed the spark plugs last week, and it didn't go away.

Clean the MAF sensor? checking the air filter wouldn't hurt either.

Mine has done the same thing for a year now. I had taken it to two different dealers and they couldn't find anything wrong. They said that everything was in the perimeter. Then told me that I have a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty. The dealerships are just a bunch of parts changers. You have a part fail, no problem. They can't diagnose if there life depended on it. I'm just waiting for it to get worse.

well, I was waiting for mine to get worse but its just like this I guess. I think it all started when I put that spacer in at the top of the manifold. Do you have a tune?

I did both and they were both clean.

Is it still having the same symptoms? I have a slight shake as well. The rpms don't move, I just feel it in my seat.

yup. I am thinking it is from one of the mods, like my tune or something, but I have not idea. I also think the car is really sensitive to gas.
