Hi

I notice that my car shakes a little, nothing major, during idle. If I am not mistaken, mostly when the radiator fans are on. Is this normal or do I have a problem? At first, I assume it is normal since the engine is quite big, but I figure might as well get the opinion of other owners.

It idles steady at around 800 - 850rpm, the car is 99 SSwith 47k miles

Thanks,

Sid.

800-850 rpm idle? Do you have a cam?

Mine shakes... 765 rpm idle.

I think the auto idle is set to 600 and manual is 800.

Mine shakes just a tiny bit, nothing major.

Mine shakes, from the motor running, at around 700 at idle...almost 900 rpm at idle sounds high, unless it's cammed...

well, i am basing 800rpm with stock gauge, so who knows what the real idle rpm is hahaha.

but at stock gauge, it pegged at 2 lines below 1k line, which i believe is 800rpm.

So, i guess minor shaking is normal? the only mods i have is SLP lid.

^^wtf that's not normal. When I removed the air and egr and hadn't got the hole on the manifold plugged all the way it idled that high. That was the only time mine ever idled that high.

Yes mine shakes, and it is stock with a fresh "tune-up". Wife bitches about the shaking every time she rides in the car.......which is not very often anymore

I set my idle screw for 900 rpm, anything lower and the throttle blade sticks due to the vacuum. Is there a work-around for this problem? Would much rather idle around 700rpm (or whatever is factory setting is for T-56 cars), but can't stand that notchy/sticking gas pedal feel.
