Shaking while idling?

Today while in traffic I put the car in neutral and sat there for a few minutes, and the car started shaking/rumbling.. anyone else have this occurance?? Once pressing the gas, the shaking stopped. It was like I was about to stall but didn't.. Haven't had this happen before, will sit in neutral again and see if it happens... any ideas ppls??

rough idle with A/C on

I have noticed very rough idling with the A/C on, did you guys have your A/C on. Is it normal for this car to idle rough, i mean literally shaking, with the A/C on.

I've never noticed a really rough idle (steering wheel or seat shaking) with or without A C. There is a little vibration at the shift but no different from other rear wheel drive cars where the shift lever is attached to the trans, not cable operated. But I haven't been stuck in trafic and don't idle much after getting out on the county roads
