Vibrating on acceleration-
Hi all,
So the problem is, my car vibrates between 800 to around 1200 rpm, both in neutral and in the gears. So, whenever I accelerate from stop, it always gives me this heavy vibrating sound drrrrRRRRRRrrr~ but after that everything is smooth as silk. It goes the same way whenever I'm braking or slowing down (while the rpm is going down to around 1200 to 800.) The idle is totally fine, especially when the first time turning on the car (2k rpm) aside of the "weird 8's sound" which I think is normal.
** It's '04 MT 68,xxx miles for your info
After doing some research here, I might get the idea of what's going on:
1. loose plug/wire
2. bad coils
3. or engine mount (my VIN is actually on that range but I'm out of warranty now)
Well, I need some opinions on what else might be the cause of the problem and what should I take care of first. I'm currently saving money for my master degree so I'm kind of in budget :D :D :D But yeah, guess I'll spend whatever my 8 urges :P
Thank you all!!!

How much do you have to pay for the engine mount? Are getting an OEM one or aftermarket? How about the labor? I need to get prepared :P
Anyway, coils, spark, etc haven't arrived yet, I'll keep you guys updated for the result

I don't think warranty covers rattle, doesn't it? But as long as you are under warranty, there is nothing wrong to have them check it out, you don't have to pay a penny for that :D
