Vibrations when idling

maczofisz · 03-01-2009, 04:54 PM

When the car idles, the driver seat, foot rest and steering wheel (only sometimes) vibrate. The vibrations feel almost like those from a cell phone or pager but not quite that intense...about half as intense

No vibrations when driving

The vibrations go away sometimes but are ther about 80% of time.

Any ideas?

Are you experiencing any abnormal noises from the engine bay when this happens?

yeah, i don't know if it's normal but it happens to me occasionally when i start the engine. light vibrations for no more than 5 seconds. goes away after that.
