when i stop at a stoplight, i press the brake as normal. Sometimes, while i'm just sitting there, i feel little rumbles, which i'm guessing are from the engine. there's no sound that's produced when it happens..it's just a little vibration if you want to call it that. how can i stop it? i've used some fuel injector cleaners before...and it's stopped for a while...but then it just comes back. in my opinion i'm pretty sure it's nothing major...it's just a little annoying when you can't enjoy the smooth ride! thanks!

Try adjusting your idle up or down just a little bit. Instructions for adjusting the idle are found on Steve Cutchen's excellent MaxFAQs page:
