hi fasthair!

thank you for your reply!

i tried the method you mentioned of gently lifting up the engine at the oil pan to see if the rough idle (or what i thought was a rough idle problem) went away. i think this worked!! i moved the engine up about 1/2 inch or so (can't really make a realistic guess), but at some point, the vibration that i felt through the car went away.

that was very good advice you gave... is there any final check i can do to absolutely make sure it is a bad engine mount before i go ahead to purchase a new mount?

thanks again!

p.s.,,, you believe that it is the forward right side mount that is the culprit?
