Hey guys...
I just picked up my first ever AT car. I've owned 5spd's all my life and just bought a low mile 93 cavalier 2.2L AT. Everything about the car works perfectly except when I stop the car at idle the car begins to vibrate a little. Its nothing crazy or anything, but the car definitly has a vibe in it. If I put the tranny in neutral the vibration goes away, and if I raise the RPM of the engine a few hundred while I still have my foot on the brake the vibration stops. Any ideas?
I just brought the car home tonight, so when the rain stops I plan on changing the oil, air filter, plugs, wires, and going over the vacuum lines for leaks. Hopefully its got 13 year old plugs and wires and the car is just rough a bit at idle...

other ideas... clean the TB and IAC with carb cleaner and check the motor mounts....

Rear motor mount (the one under the blower motor). Its a very common thing on the 2.2 autos. Almost to the point of a TSB, but not quite.
yeah, don't bother playing the guessing game just throw in a new rear mount.

x2 my 94 2.2 auto had the exact same problem, i changed the upper trans mount, front mount and rear mount tho just to be sure i was rid of the problem but it was for sure the rear mount
mine does the same thing, but mine is a 5sp would that make a difference between the rear motor mount issue??
I don't know j-body's yet........but I will!
