Vibration at stop light and clicking sound in engine

Hi all,

Hope someone can help with these two problems:
First is when I'm stopped at a light or stop sign, when in D, the car vibrates a fair amount, but when I shift to N, it stops.
Is that a confirmation that its the right engine mount that's cracked?

Second, with the hood open, I can hear very faint clicking (arching) sounds, seem to be from the ignition coils area. Is that a sign of coil dying? Should I change spark plugs or coils first?


Thanks!

Check the plugs and plug wires. Make sure the plugs are screwed in tight and that the wires are tight on the plugs and coils. Either one can create the clicking sound and possibly cause the idling problem.

Definitely sounds like motor mounts on the vibration part. Coils, plugs for arcing sound. Best to replace coils and arcing first. A little cheaper and may, a slight chance, rectify your vibration issue.
