Hi folks,

Been living with a shakey idle for a bit now. Before everyone suggests the obvious, here are steps I ve taken to improve things.

- Valve adjustment
- Injector rebuild by Greazzer
- OFV spring replaced from one by Greazzer
- Engine mounts replaced with Lemfoerder ones
- Driveshaft rubber mount and bearing replaced
- Flex discs changed with Originals
- All front suspension components replaced with new ones (no chinese parts)
- New hand primer pump

I have a pretty smooth sounding idle - as in it sounds reasonably quiet and revs up very nicely
There has been a significant power improvement since doing the injectors, spring and valve adjustment.

However; my idle both in P or in D is lopey. The engine sounds perfect but there is an obvious shake.

I have some ideas but they might be stupid so all of your wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

1. I have my A/C compressor disconnected. It doesnt work so I took the belt off. Is it possible that having a heavy object hanging from one side is causing the engine to vibrate?

2. Could there be an actual issue with the injection pump?

3. My belts are tight but is it possible to over tighten them and cause vibrations?

Here is a not so good video of what I m trying to explain. As you will hear from the sound, the engine sounds great and there is substantial power but I d really like to have a smoother idle.

4. Am I being an anal idiot and comparing it to modern/gas cars?

Thank you all in advance for your advice.
