Thumping, Knocking, hard jerking I'll post this is External Engine also to rule out possibilities...
Sitting Still In neutral or in gear. I Have a 6 Speed.
While Idle their is a thumping, knocking, Not smooth in the middle of revolutions. So if I was sitting still I would feel this thumping, knocking, hard jerking. Every I would say 5 to 10 seconds then the engine will feel fine 5 to 10, knocking, fine 5 to 10, knocking, fine.
I did some searching on here and found out that most people have their rpm's go up and down.
My RPM's dont move.
Also searching turned up sensors might be going out.
And the last thing I found with my search was possible motor mount.
What I am Asking is:
Is their any other possibilties?
And how to rule out the above listed in order to make a correct decision.
Also: Yea I could just take to car to the dealer and ask them to look it over but I like to consult With you guys first so I dont get the run around....

An easy way to check your motor mounts is to get your car in the air, grab your exhaust by the Y-pipe and wiggle it. It should be pretty darn stout. If not, then your motor mounts are probably shot. Mine were wasted at 60k miles. I swapped 'em to polys and a lot of rattles/vibrations/knockings were gone.

If you're checking the plugs as a possible cause, post up the type and what you have them gapped at.
