Little Problem on my 172, please help.

[hkka]

I found my 172 is a bit non-stable when idle, I don't know if i should say idle because the rev is stable. But just the car has tiny slightly shaking when stopped. I can feel it from my seat.

Is that caused by sparkplug? Misfire? But acceleration is fine. I had cleaning the throttle and the inlet manifold. Plus I do use those injector cleaner every 5,000km.

I just don't like the slightly little shaking. Does anyone has similar problem? Or it is a common problem. I want my Clio in perfect condition.

thanks!

could be a missfire causing the engine to move about, or more likley a worn engine mount causing a rythmic pulse/vibration felt thru the seat

Which one can mostly cause this problem. I had changed the top driver side one during warrenty period. Will the K-Tec one for lower solve the problem? Are they good and easy to fit?

That seems like the general thing with the 172/182's none of the one's have been have had a smooth idle.

If you ask Renault they'll say that they all do that.

It's what happens when you have a high revving engine, i guess

My engine mounts went a couple of months ago...Didn't have time to uprate the bushes, but the k-tec one's will help i'd imagine. Easy to fit...well, a garage ill take anything from 2-4hrs!
