im new to this forums i dont know what the tsb road test is.. its definatly coming from the motor its not bad it happens like every 3 seconds or so.. almost like every rotation the rotor makes??? its tough to describe.. i have no power loss or anthing that i know of and plus the idle is fine just the engine shakes and its more than just the typical vibration

I know what you mean...like a faint shudder or shimmy kind of vibration? Mine I can faintly feel though my seat too. TSB road test is to cruise at approx. 30 mph or just under in 3rd gear, then let off the accel. completely, then get right back on the accel. Your car should hesitate for a sec. then power is on, almost like a hicup. Mine fails this test, going to get the dealer to replace the mounts/brakets. Hope that works.
I wish I could change the idle speed to around 1000 rpm, that would make the idle smooth as butter.

is there a slight chance since i changed the bracket & engine mounts already that this issue can be a coil/spark plug problem?? i read that the 2004 coils are known for goin quick and im not sure if my coils have been changed at all but im @ 44k miles..
