Intermittent shake/rumble while idle...?

Hope someone can help me out with this the car has been having an intermittent, what I would define more as a rumble, while at idle. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?

TIA

You had me going there for a second...I want to get it resolved my last service is coming up next

week, I have the extended warranty after that, but I'd rather get it out of the way.

Try your plugs, depending how bad the rumble is. If not, coild pack perhaps? What mileage, what mod

If you dont' get a CEL, dealer WILL NOT be able to diagnose it...I guarantee this.

You're not getting one...

I can't imagine the CB is clogged up with anything.

At 40k miles, your stocker cats should be fine...

my coilpacks, the first time i had issues, were intermittent. I'd be cruising along in 6th on the hwy, then i'd feel a hickup. Sometimes, I'd get a complete 2-3 second hickup with lots of misfires, but would be ok. the Cel only came on during the longer hickups.

Record the sound with a video fo what you mean, or elaborate more upon what "intermittent" rumble means.

I have had this same problem since I purchased the car... The car rumbles and idles rough

Especially when the AC is on. Its definately not the spark plugs cause when i got them replaced, i had the same exact problem. Please let me know if you figure anything out because chances are its the same problem as mine.
