Vibration at idle

Hey all,

I have fairly recently developed a very noticeable and steady vibration in my steering wheel at idle. It immediately goes away completely if I give it a little throttle, or if I turn high idle on. Any ideas if this is normal or not? It's REALLY annoying at stop lights, and I'm worried it might be injector related. Any input is appreciated!

I would guess to say your DMF (dual mass flywheel) is taking a dump. Does it run good and only vibrate at idle? Mine did. Open your drivers door about 3/4 way and if you can see it vibrate......well a Southbend clutch upgrade would be my choice.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Yes, I have an Auto. I was thinking it might be the tranny since I'm ******* the heck out of a stock tranny with my Smarty, but it also does it in both Park and Neutral.

Bumping this one, still wondering what it is.. Does it sound like an injector??? My MPG is not very good at all lately, average is about 13mpg a tank.
