Intermittent rumbling/vibration a first start-up/warming up session.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing? It only occurs on the initial warming up session. It's smooth, then every now and then, it rumbles with vibration then back to smooth. I don't like this, what's causing this, what should I do?

Rep Power: 0 Do you park outside. Sometimes condensation can build up on the ignition system and compenents, causing it to sort of misfire and vibrate. After everything heats up it burns the condensation off and all is well. Water and heat are our worst enemies!

Rep Power: 281 I dont want to start another thread but my problem sounds kinda similar...When my car site at idle and I think in all cases the car was already driven around for awhile, the rpms will be at 700 and suddenly drop like it was stalling and come right back up. Does anyone know what the problem is??

Could be a bad TPS(throttle position sensor). There use to be a sticky in this forum that describes something similar to what your experiencing.
