Normal little engine shake while idling?

During idle you can see the engine shaking a bit at the distributor cap. Took a video but the frame rate is off so it's captured in a slow motion type of movement

Check your motor mounts for rips or damage

They all looked good visually

All of em? the rear one is one to look at.


have someone in the driver seat, keep the foot on the brake and slowly add throttle and let out clutch to grab a bit.

If you see the engine moving alot more than what your looking at, then your rear mount is bad, If you see the side mounts move, then you know it both back and sides

I know I had the back one replaced a while ago, isn't that the transmission mount there?

So that shaking isn't normal?

I dont see any shaking in the video.. All I see are spark plug wires moving.

Show me the engine shaking

In person the engine shakes and it's only noticeable at the distributor cap.

Trying to capture it moving slows down the shake and gives it that slow mo look like the video I posted

But in person it's a faster "movement"

Try the method i listed above. If the engine moves, then you know you have issues.

I dont see anything going on.
