car shaking at idle
does your car shake a little (kind of like 3 cars speeding by you but not as violent) when at idle right after you come to a stop? my car always shake about 3 times and then is fine everytime i am idling just coming from to a stop ... i don't know if is normal or not ... the rev meter is not bouncing up/down or anything

Nope, not in the slightest. This could be a number of things, not the least of which could be bad gas or water in the line. All it takes is a teaspoon.
My rule of thumb is always check the basics first (gas cap not tightened, loose vacuum hose) and then bring it to the dealer and be as descriptive as you can about the problem. Intermittant or continuous rough idle at stop, etc.
