Hey all,

My 09 (90k miles) has developed a shaking issue at idle (originally only in D and R). Took it to my mechanic and he replaced the engine mounts, but that seems to make it worse. Now there it's shaking in all gears, but never when driving. Mechanic did the following:

-tune-up (new plugs)
-air filter changed
-cleaned throttle body
-fuel injector cleaner in tank
-oil and filter changed

I took it back again as there is still shaking. He said that he couldn't find anything else wrong and there were no error codes (I'm going to double check this weekend). I'm going to see if I can find a vacuum hose leak. But do you have any suggestions? This is frustrating because my car has been really good to me up until now.

Shaking you can feel inside the car is different from simple engine physically moving around shaking, which is not necessarily a problem at all.
