Well, that might necessarily be the case... I have the same
shake (I think) that you are experiencing at idle... About every 4-5
seconds I get it... Idle up a tad, and it clears up... Definitely have it
checked out to be sure... But I would say that it probably is a normal
'magnum' trait. My friend with a Saturn (smooth engine 4 cyl) rode
with me a month ago, and while in the local drive thru (Robertos!!--
James you know what I mean!!)...He mentioned that the truck had
a weird idle/shake... I would guess as compared to a sewing
machine, everything has a bad idle!!
