Update: Before swapping out the engine mounts, I have been chasing the possibility of an electrical problem. I had a couple codes on the built in LED (4,5,10) and a couple on pin 8 (code 4) and 14 (code 11). The EGR code on the built in has been there forever so I don't think has much to do with things (just my untrained opinion as a disclaimer). The codes for the MAF on the built in and pin 8 are likely a result of me disconnecting the MAF wire while I was goofing around trying to see if anything changed. The pin 14 code 11, I have no idea what this is all about. I have all codes cleared now and nothing has come back after about 50 miles of driving so far. Mr Dalton has been helping me sort through this diagnosis so thanks to him for sure. I've actually learned a ton during the process so it's been good all things considered.
I replaced plugs and the resisters on the bottom of the 3 coil packs just in case (that was all needed anyway, the plugs were really worn down on the electrodes). I put in F8DC4 bosch copper plugs.
So back to the engine mounts and transmission mount as the cause of my shaking??? Again, I can't seem to hear the motor missing and certainly not consistent with the amount of shaking I feel in the cockpit but again disclaimer I really don't have a clue what I'm doing!).
Anyway, still got the shakes on the motor. I am going to go ahead and replace the engine mounts and transmission mounts and see if that helps or not. If not, that will be one more thing done and off the to do list with this car. I worry that at the end of the day, it may well be my wire harness. I am thinking to do the head gasket and harness this coming Christmas when I have some time off so I hope it is not that acting up this time around. I may have to take it in if the mounts don't fix it, but I really would like to solve this on my own (well with forum help!)
So, any recommended brands on the engine mounts? I see fastlane has FEQ, corteco, lemoforder, Phoenix listed with a fair distribution of price among them. I read somewhere Phoenix was OEM, but not sure if today's is the same as they were in 1995. Suggestions to go with or as important to avoid?
