When I first start my car, the whole car vibrates kinda hard. Car drives smoothly, and works fine but only this vibration (is idling really high) is what is worrying me, could it be the timing belt? Or something worst?

Hi marykay81,

When vibration is high, it should be caused by misfiring. Check the sprak plugs and related parts.

You dont have a timing belt you have a timing chain, so those things are usually maintenance free, what does the car do when you give it more gas when idling, rev it up to like 4000 rpm, let me know
