Well, I worked on the car over the weekend. I pulled one of the plugs and noticed a good amount of carbon so I thought what the heck put in some new plugs and wires. I put in Motorcraft Spark Plugs. Unfortunately the vibration is still present.


I think it might be a hose or gasket as you guys have suggested. I looked briefly at the hoses and nothing stood out. I will work on it again this coming weekend and see if I can find the problem.


I will say it was super easy replacing the plugs. My other cars when I change the plugs my hands look like I ran into a mean cactus.

I am happy to hear that the problem was fixed. It is crazy how much the motor mount can affect a vehicles ride.

I know what a difference now since replacing motor mount. I've replaced motor mounts before in a high performance car but never in a 4 cylinder with 92,000 miles !!
