anyone else notice a faint vibration at idle with no accessories on...almost like a motor vibration...I can feel it in me **** when at idle...car is a 2k2 6sp. Anyone???

 

This is a common complaint. Many posts about it. Some claim it's the fuel, some have their coils replaced, some have the idle speed adjusted, no one really seems to know what it is. I have an automagic and have the same vibration at idle IN GEAR. Shift to nuetral and it goes away. Feels like lumpy cams or something. If anyone has a definite fix, I'd like to hear it, too.

 

I wish it was a lumpy cam....but it bothers the hell outta me...one more reason I wish Id kept my A4 2.8....that is until I floor the max....

 

I got the same problem in my 2K2 GLE...although it the amount of vibration sometimes varies with the type of gas (Shell, BP, Mobil) I put in. But yeah when I drop it in neutral it feels smooth as silk.

 

Add another one to the list: outside temperature. Today it was 49 degrees F on my way home. The VQ was purring like a kitten. No bad vibes.
I get the same vibes out of my 2k2. It has improved since I switched to Shell but they're still there...

 

yeah, loaping is common. I really think its the low idle. Mines at 750 in gear. You are gonna have it at that RPM with a load. bugs me too..

 

2k3 SE Max with same occasional rough idle. So, Nissan didn't do anything about it on the '03s. Wonder if the Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, etc do the samething(?).

 

i feel it too....

2k1 SE with 40K miles.

 

I had the rough idle for a while and then I put on my stillen Y-pipe and the idle smoothed right out. I don't know why this helped but it did.

 

This is a problem with all VQ's my brothers 350 has it and my 97 and 02 both occasionally do this as well.

 

Mine 6spd has it especially just after come off highway.

I took it to the dealer, they said every maxima did the same thing.
