Hey guys, when my car is idling it idles pretty low and i can feel the engine shake.

Also, after driving when I put the car into park like 2 out of 5 times it will just stall. Other times the RPM drops really low and the engine shakes pretty bad but it recovers. I don't know whats wrong with it. Any help?

Could be MAF ground, TPS issue, o2 sensor. Have you tried adjusting the idle.

I haven't tried adjusting the idle. How do you do it on one of these engines?

Heres some more info, this only happens when the car has been driven for a while, when its cold it idles fine and when you put it into park its fine.

Other times, when you put it into park the RPM's drop reallly low (below 500) but it recovers.

I got the MAF replaced maybe a year and a half ago

The car doesn't have any check engine codes, and the mechanic checked for vacuum leaks and said its fine.

And they can't figure anything out...

Have your VIN checked for the ECU foam recall (call a dealer and they'll look it up). Could be the computer.
