Today i was driving back from a cruise with some friends. As i pulled up to a red light and was at a stop, the car began to "shake" at idle. Nothing too hard...but you could just feel it in the shifter and a little bit through the seat. After 2000rpms it goes away and everything is fine. No ticking or tapping noises. And i wasn't getting on it before the problem came up, so there wasn't a loud bang or a pop in the motor. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was i hit a pretty decent sized pot hole at about 15mph.

I took it easy coming home and let the car sit for about an hour, started it back up agian and it still has the shake at idle. I've done a few searches on some Subau boards but i just wanted a 2nd opinion.

 

220 people on and no one has any ideas?

 

exhaust rattle maybe? you might have knocked something loose

 

i think it might be a mount issue. because it seems like it's comign from the right side of the car and i wrecked the shit ouf the right front tire from this giant pot-hole.

 

u didnt check the subie forums??

 

.

 

check all your coilpacks

 

is it idling low? Is your bov recirculated? Maybe if it is the pipe got knocked off?

 

I think it is mounts.

 

no, it's not idling low and the BOV isn't recirc but it hasn't been for about 2 years and this hasn't happened before. The idle doesn't studder it just shakes pretty bad. I popped the hood and just let it idle and the motor is literally shaking in the engine bay...it's a smooth idle, not choppy but the motor just looks really loose in the engine bay.
