Car shakes at idle

[Blakonblak94]

This may be a stupid question. But I have a mild cam and the car shakes slightly at idle, is this normal? I dont think it should shake as much as it does, but I could be wrong. Any input?

is it only in gear or does it happen when you have in in park/neutral as well??

 

[Blakonblak94]

Not while driving, sorry should have clarified. Only while sitting at idle.

Like a steady vibration inside? Put something on the dash and it rattles?

Mine's like that. While I don't think it's normal (I've got a B-cam), it makes a little sense. Though maybe the motor mounts are weak?

Are they stock motor mounts or solid mounts?

 

[Blakonblak94]

Stock motor mounts, I may just be an optical thing because I can see my MGW shake like a mofo

I understand that. so it doesnt shake when the trans is in neutral??

When the car is shaking while idling, does it stop shaking when you put the trans in neutral or does it still shake?

5spd or auto??

5 speed, shakes regardless, I can see the shifter moving in first, neautral, whereever it may be when I'm idling.

What's it idiling at? I put a e cam in my brothers car and the motor shook around until we adjusted the idle

You can run a cylinder balance test so you can see if it's a miss.

Hissn can you remind me how to do said cylinder balance test?
