My 03 does the same. It's a very slight vibration but it's annoying.

Same here. Lately i have been noticing it more with the A/C on. It makes a low growling sound only when the A/C is on.

I'm not sure what exactly the problem is, but my main complaint is the slight rough idle/vibration you can feel through the wheel.

I'm picky as hell, I bet most people wouldn't feel it, but I can.

the coil problem you speak of (for 2000's) .. is that when you get an engine misfire for a check engine light? If so, can you go more into detail on what that is? .. cause that's what I have now...
