[Engine vibration]

Sorry for the confusion. The vibration is happening when the engine is cold and I'm stopped at a red light, for example. Not so much when I'm in park, and goes away once the car is warmed up.

 

I had the transmission flushed a few months ago.

 

So the verdict is put in NGK plugs, OEM wires and check mounts and axles?

 

Thanks!

In October of 2010 I had head gaskets replaced along with spark plugs and spark plug wires because there was a crack in head gaskets.

 

At that time they also replaced water pump, thermostat, timing belt and timing belt tensioner.

 

A couple months later I had it in to a different mechanic for a tune up because of the vibration - which was present prior to all the work above and was much better after it - and I think they just checked spark plugs and wires.

Thanks in advance for any advice:

 

I have a 2002 Subaru Legacy GT Limited with about 90k on it. I've noticed the engine vibrates a little when I start it in cold weather - no big surprise there - but vibrates A LOT when the engine is still cold and I'm idling with the car in drive.

 

I've had it tuned up recently and a couple mechanics have said things look good. Any idea what could be going on or what I can do to fix it?

 

Not a huge issue but annoys the hell out of me!

Left unplugged for two days. Was hopeful when it said "N" at first but then went back to the usual "SW." Still won't calibrate.

 

Maybe I'll just leave it unplugged permanently!

 

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for feedback. I'll try disconnecting, if I can figure out how to do that. Not much of a "car guy."

 

I don't think there are any magnetic things near it. I've even been driving out into the middle of huge, abandoned parking lots to try to calibrate, just in case of buildings or other things influencing the calibration.

I'm having problems calibrating the compass on the rearview mirror of my 2002 legacy gt limited. I'm following the directions in the manual -- holding button to calibrate then driving in circles -- but definitely not working.

 

Anyone else encountered this problem or have any ideas on fixing? Will only say west or southwest. Dimmer seems to work.

 

Thanks
