Couple questions

I have an 04 and there is a bad vibration at idle. Goes away with a little throttle but returns when it idles down again.

Also there is a really load click when I turn the key off and on without the rotary running. Any ideas what that is?

Thanks and I did try and search but it brought up tons of results. I guess I suck at searching.

How bad is "bad"? We have a sports car, it's normal for the 8 to have a rougher idle. Where is the click coming from? I get clicks from the engine bay--sounds like maybe some syncro motors checking themselves (so, it is normal).

Its not a rough idle but a vibration. It shakes the shifter back and forth and you can see it. I was just looking through he tsb's and I think I found the problem. Cracked engine mount.

Going for the recall next Monday so I will get it looked at then.

Ya I guess I should have said the engine bay. When the key is cycled on and off the is a load "click".

Thanks

yeah, I usually check the tsb's first because chances are (especially with an 04) its on that list. My money is on your engine mount, have the dealer take a look.
