Hello guys , ever since i got my car sometimes i get very bad vibration in the entire car at idle with i put the gear on D especially it gets worse, can notice slightly mn park, the car vibrates very bad when i turn the AC on, I thought that would be from engine mounts but I removed them and the mechanic said they are fine no faulty ones, what could be the reason? It's like this for more than 2 years , sometimes the problem is there sometimes not that's why I haven't bothered myself getting it fixed.

I would get it checked out if you have warranty still. would rather be safe then sorry at that point

Any updates on this?

Ive experienced a similar issue with both N20s that Ive owned.

I had the same problem. I change to Ngk spark plugs and re gapped it. Solved the issue. Looks like the person who previously gapped mine screwed up.

Isn’t setting the gap something from the past? Nowadays you just buy the ‘right’ spark plug that should already have the correct gap. Only when you have a tuned engine you could want to change this.

Your thoughts are correct. Checking the gap before install is never a bad idea but needing to adjust them is highly unlikely and unnecessary so long as you buy the correct plugs.

With the way manufacturing and quality control is these days, they truly have this sort of thing down to a science.

Recently refreshed my NGK 97506 and checked gap quickly before install just because. They were all bang on.

@Ahmaddoski

Any updates on your situation. Im positive this is not an ignition issue (at least in my case).

Wondering what you may have come up with.

I'm having similar issue with my N20 alos, I have vibration when the engine is in gear but not in park. If I turn the AC on when it's in gear there is no vibration. I used ISTA to increase RPM by 50 when in gear, this fixed the vibration in gear issue. I already replaced spark plug, injector, fuel pump, belt tensioner, cleaned the vavle and still same problem.

Ever since posting this thread i was busy going from one mechanic to another one and different scan tools , no one knew the issue changed ignition couls too checked engine and tranny mounts all ok , my spark plugs were changed as i said , removed injectors from the car and tested and cleaned them on an Gdi injector cleaning and testing machine a shop had here, checked fuel pump and their filters all ok, I really can't think of anything else right now idk what to do i installed bosch spark plugs am thinking of replacing them with ngk this time but ihave spend hell alot of money on this car and its not fixing up 🤦🏻*♂️

Thanks for the update, thats all very good info for the group.

Keep us posted if anything changes.

[Ahmaddoski]

Update : changed spark plugs today to oem ngks and still not solved!

[Jimmert]

Just a suggestion, what about a faulty crankcase ventilation / membrane? To fix this you need to replace the entire valve cover though.
