dont know what title to make for this...

anyways, recently my car has been acting up when i come to a stop (at a stop light). if i come to a complete stop at a stoplight and just sit there for a few seconds waiting for the light to turn green, the back of my car starts moving up and down (like someone is on the trunk jumping). now, ovbiously theres no one there (or in my trunk )

what could be the cause of this? im pretty sure it has to do with my engine (and probably my idle or something)

thanks

sorry man... just trying to picture this makes me laugh uncontrollably.

are your rpms jumping around or anything? does it do it when you put it in neutral? need more info...
